I applied for my passport on Sat. 8/22 and was just wondering, out of curiosity how long did it take for you passport to show up (non-expedited, regular processing)...
TIA

I think approx 4 weeks is normal. But I got mine in a week. Not sure what happened. I did apply regular processing, online status showed regular processing.
a) I applied by filling out form online and then printing.
b) I applied only for passport book initially and then called in to add passport card and paid the passport card fee using credit card.
c) I applied on saturday.
Not that any of this made any difference .. could be just luck.
Check to see if your check is cashed today or call in to get the confirmation number so you can check status online. You can add card option over the phone if you want it.Cool, I too, filled out the form online and printed it, applied on a Saturday (through a public library), and opted for the book only.

I was thinking, its only (I know times are tough) $20. And I can shove it in safe place and use it to get passport book in case I lose passport. Its rigid, dont worry about taking proper care (unlike Nat), kids cant scribble on it (unlike Nat ).Thanks,
Just out of curiosity: What's so special about the card? I mean, I know you can travel with it in north America and to the Caribbeans, but why not just use a plain good ol' passport? I really don't see any reason to throw more money on something that a passport book can get me.

Relax My cheque was not cached until four business days have passed even though my passport application was expedited.
Please read the instruction (as I havent in a while). I believe they ask you copy of Nat Cert, not original.Hi,
I have a quick question on I-485 and I-130. I am now a U.S citizen as of last week. I have applied for my U.S passport, so I neither posses my GC or 'Certificate of Naturalization' currently.
From what I read in I-130 instructions form, do I need to submit my 'Certificate of Naturalization' for petitioning for my wife. Is it compulsory to "mail in" the original certificate and the U.S passport. It will be another 4-6 weeks before I get my certificate back and U.S passport. Please advice.
1)A copy of your naturalization certificate or certificate of citizenship issued by USCIS or the former INS.
2)A copy of your unexpired U.S. passport
3)An original statement from a U.S. consular officer verifying that you are a U.S. citizen with a valid passport.
Arghhh! the wait!!!
GR, I think I have seen that comment somewhere else before.
Caaalllmmmmm. Hommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I can't help but look at passport book and card every other day. Its sweet.
Well... at least I now see the checks have been cashed, there is a processing/tracking number, so everything looks good so far. Hopefully a few more days and I can get a nicer evidence than that 'diploma'....
