Finally we are done with my long immigration journey. Attended the oath ceremony on friday which was quite interesting and took about 2 hours. Finally got the certificate in hand and applied for passport right after. I would like to thank all who have been really helpful and wish you all good luck in your remaining journey with USCIS.

This site has provided a good platform for information sharing and in some cases I have found VJ'ers have more accurate information compared to immigration lawyers. That is a unique achievement of this open forum. :dance:

Congratulations!

I got my passport book/card, and the certificate of naturalization a couple of weeks ago, but Dept of State website still shows my passport application not in the system. :whistle:

I wish Sam's club have some gift or discount for membership for new US citizen, who becomes Uncle Sam's club. :thumbs:

Moonhunt,

You can always join our Sam's club for free exclusive for all VJ'ers :)

How much time did it take to get the passport after applying? The USPS associate (where we have to apply from) stated 3 weeks and I should be fine but wanted to have the passport in hand way before we head out for our vacation in december.
