You will get your Citizenship certificate on the day of your oath. You can apply for a passport the same day (if you wish). The Campbell post office is very close to the Heritage center. You can go there to apply for a passport. However, that particular post office requires an appointment to apply for a passport. I would recommend that you call ahead to make an appointment. To make it a much easier and faster process, fill out the passport application form ahead of time and take two passport size photographs.

One quick note, since the post office takes your original citizenship certificate when you apply for the passport (they send it back with your passport), you may want to make a couple of copies.

Hope this helps.
 
FYI, I (me & spouse) have interview scheduled tomorrow AM @ San Jose. I will update tomorrow after the interview.

CZPHope, if you show enough proof you can get same day passport in SF passport agency

"he San Francisco Passport Agency only serves customers who are traveling, or submitting their passports for foreign visas, within 14 days. To apply at the Agency, you must schedule an appointment by calling toll-free at 1-877-487-2778, 24 hours/day. If you are not traveling, or needing to submit your passport for foreign visas within 14 days, you must apply at a Passport Application Acceptance Facility."

you can find more details @ http://travel.state.gov/passport/about/agencies/agencies_900.html

hope this helps
 
My wife and I successfully completed the citizenship interview on 6/27/2006. I thank the forum members for their postings that definitely helped us in the preparation and expectations.

My interview officer was extremely courteous. The only documents they asked for were my current passport and the green card. Asked six civics questions verbally and asked me to write a very simple sentence.

They handed us the congratulation letters and told us that oath taking ceremony will be on July 19 at Campbell Heritage Theatre if I can get the oath letters in time or latest by August.
 
I have used this facility in the past (2003) for my son's passport. I got the passport in abut 4 hours on the same day I had taken the apptment. It was smooth, they checked the travel tickets though.

interview & name check

I had the interview today. The officer was very courteous, went over the application and confirmed some information on the application; handed me a page of 10 history/goverment quetions and asked me to read and answer them.

Everything went very well and I was expecting an approval. But unfortunately she looked up her paper and told me that FBI has not finished its work yet and told me it could be another 2 weeks. I got a N-652 which indicated "IP pending" which I do not know what it stands for.

She confirmed that the unfinished FBI work is name check and told me that I can request an infopass if not receiving the approval letter for a while. I read that recently there were a few posts about name check. Was any of these pending application approved within a few weeks? I am afraid that I might need to get information on how to schedule an infopass in a few weeks.

No need for any preperation for FP. Civics test is only for the Interview. Just make sure your hands are clean and have no cuts :)

I gave my FP today and it went smooth. How do I go about finding FBI had cleared it?

My wife's finger printing is after 2 weeks and I spoke to the application center front office about taking it earlier than the scheduled date and they said it should be OK. Is there any issue in taking it earlier than scheduled? Please update.
