We got our passports (me, my wife and my 12 year old daughter) today. We got the passports, NCs, my daughter's foreign BC and GC all at the same time - a packet for each passport along with the supporting documents. The journey is finally over though I still have to do N-600 for my daughter.
We applied on 3/31, routine status; status changed to "in final processing stage" yesterday, called the customer service this morning and she told me they were mailed yesterday but to a pleasent surprise I got them in today's mail at 3.30pm central time. Our checks were cashed on 4/6 (post office checks on 4/5), added PP card to the applications on 4/8. The PP's were processed (i.e. issued) on 4/12, (may be adding PP card helps
, just speculating as when I called this morning the CS person asked me when I was traveling, I told her I wasn't traveling immediately and she said oh well it has been processed), haven't received the PP cards yet. I am glad I chose not to do an expedited service or overnight. Saved over $200, 16 days was lightning fast for normal service.
We still haven't received any communication from SSA on our applications to update our citizenship status in our SS records. They said 10 days but it has been 17 days.
We still haven't received our voters card as well.
Pending tasks:
1) N-600 for my daughter
2) SSA confirmation for change of status
3) Voters card
4) OCIs (since we are natives from India and would definitely be visiting at least for the foreseeable future)
Once I get the above checked off I can be at peace not having to deal with government agencies
