The card is kind of neat - I decided to get it as well so I would have an easy proof of citizenship readily available rather than having to carry the passport if necessary. I notice, though, that the photo is in black and white even though I submitted colour photographs.

My husband got the email that his passport was mailed. :dance:

I'm anxious about getting his Naturalization Certificate back, based on my recent experience renewing my passport. After getting my new passport in the mail, the old passport they were supposed to return never arrived. The passport call center claims it was mailed back (in a separate envelope) and was somehow lost along the way. I'm not sure what to believe... but it makes me uneasy not knowing what happened. :(

Well, my passport itself still hasn't arrived. I just talked with customer service and apparently, it was mailed already on the 18th of September. I sure hope that they haven't lost the actual passport in the mail! All the tracking number says is it that they were notified for it to be picked up, no updates since - but then the tracking number for the passport card says the same thing and it has already arrived on the date they said it would - the 23rd.

*Groan*

This is the message on the USPS site when we enter the tracking number for my husband's passport:

Your item was forwarded to a different address on September 24, 2009 in BAYSIDE, NY 11361. This was because of forwarding instructions or because the address or ZIP Code on the label was incorrect.

We don't live in Bayside, NY. We haven't moved or asked our mail to be forwarded. So either the USPS messed up the tracking or the passport agency sent it to the wrong address. And I don't even want to think about the Naturalization Certificate, which hasn't arrived yet and which isn't even trackable.

Hubby called the Passport Call Center and they said they have the right address on file so hopefully it will arrive soon... Hopefully we'll have better luck than I did with my still-missing-in-action old passport.

*Gulp*
