They only issue passports if you have a legitimate trip within 2 weeks.

Thanks for this very encouraging news.
By 7 days, did you mean 7 calendar days or 7 business days?
Congratulations elec99!

she said that she applied on a friday, then received it the 2nd following monday, so it is 9 days, excluded 2 weekends(sat and sunday)
Congrats, elec99 - finally!
From the stats I am reading, it doesn't seem like it is worth the extra $$ to expediate the passport application. But, my work could possibly have me leaving the USA on short notice - so, I'm wondering, if you apply for a passport "regular timeline" , then, unexpectedly need it quicker, can you then go to the LA passport office, and receive it that day? (paying more $$, or course)

Good luck to you on your second journey Feliz. I'm sure that this time everything will go fine for you.
Question about FP notice: I've heard that since one may receive the FP notice 3 weeks ahead of the actual FP date, that you could save time by bringing in your notice well ahead of time, get your FPs done, and save 3 weeks?
If this is true then I wish I knew this...anyone hear of this?
btw, Northrup runs the FP for the govt in regard to the n-400 app, and possibly other apps as well, but I'm guessing they get paid per app so it may not be in their best interest to turn you away at the door, but worst case scenario is that they tell you to come back at your scheduled date and time.

Thank you, Mr Vertigo! Good luck to all of us! I got my NOA1 yesterday with a NBC case number (see my signature) i hope it doesnt mean delay for me...
elec99, yes FP walk-ins are totally legal, i did it 2 times for my greencard and once for N400, but in some cases of stubborn security guys it takes some polite assertiveness, and yes, worst case - try another day - and another security guy.

Hi Feliz, question why would the NBC case number mean a delay?

even though I have been on this forum all along my first N400 I dont remember what happens when case is processed at National Benefits Senter vs. regular Phoenix/CA or Local Office. And besides with the USCIS one never knows for sure what can cause delay unfortunately

Oh so true about delays :-(
I was just asking because I thought all applications went to NBC, but now I see what you mean about them going to the local office instead.
