us passport

[sashka]

hi,

on march 12, I went to Newark, NJ and got my citizenship. If you interested, my inteview was scheduled for 2pm, but I got much earlier there (around 12:50pm) and was called in 20 minutes. in 7 minutes I was out with paper saying, that my application was suggested for approval. around 3pm they started calling people to take green cards and verify citizenship certificate. at 4:20 got mine certificate and left home.

When person, who told us how to get us passport came and started telling, it was loud there and I coudn't here most of what he told. (have no idea, why he didn't use mic). anyway, i've got question: where should I go to get my us passport? I went to www.travel.gov . There written, that I can go to my post office with my citizenship certificate and they will take care. is it correct? also, will they take my ceritifcate, or I have to bring it to show?

thank you.

timeline:
application: end of april 2002
fingerprints: end of july 2002
citizen: march 12, 2003

That is correct. They do take the original and return it to you with the Passport. Like JoeF suggested, make a copy of it 'just in case'.
