I lost my naturalization papers, but in dire need of a proof of citizenship sooner than it takes the naturalization replacement to come to me (approx. 6 mo.). So I was considering applying for a passport with my N-565 form receipt. But when i talked to the passport agency, they told me that I need a letter from the USCIS saying that i applied for the replacement, and a letter with a signature from the person that "naturalized" me, which USCIS should have according to the passport agency.
I made an appointment with USCIS local office to only find out that they cannot give out that information, and do not write status verification letters. So does anyone know what i can do?? Im really lost here, and i really need a proof of citizenship SOON or my wife becomes an illegal alien!! Help please...

In order to obtain expedited processing you must qualify for it. The Expedite criteria used for ALL petitions and applications is the same and is found on the www.uscis.gov website. Just do a site search for expedite criteria.
 
BigJoe, Thank you for replying, but i was wondering if i can still get a passport with just the N 565 receipt...i know i dont qualify for the USCIS replacement expedite cuz its not like a matter or national security or anything like that. USCIS read me the criteria, and they were all like huge matters to the United States in order to be qualified for the expedited services.
