Went to the SS office to update my records on Wednesday, and got my Certificate of Naturalization back in the mail today.

Done and Done!

Best wishes to everyone

State dept. tracking site is completely worthless. Did my passport application 5 weeks ago. Was able to track my application after about a week which gave me a record number and the standard processing times etc.

Even though I had received a letter from them more than two weeks ago, which must have interupted my case for at least a week, no change on the status. They probably don't update you on these kind of events. Makes me even wonder if they're gonna update me on shipping.

What is your guy's experience with their status updates?

I got my passport August 6th. Just checked the online tracker and it says my passport is in the final processing stages - so there you go!

Hahaha, I kind of figured this website was complete BS. Thanks for letting me know it is has no value.

It'll be 6 weeks next week so I'll just give them a call at that point. Mainly because I'll be traveling 2nd week of September.

[Ianne25 0]

Is this some kind of RFE? I applied my passport July 30th(routine service) and pay the expedite service yesterday because my flight is n Sept4th! I tried calling 3x a day because my payment is not showing up in my account. This is my status online! Is this normal or they need something from me?

Yep, I would guess it is a sort of RFE or, as this isn't USCIS, perhaps a RFI. I never got this status update though when they sent me a letter. It means they started working on your passport at least.

I'm worried this would delay again the process...Is some sort of documents/Id's they requested from you?

Thank you!

I had applied for passport card also. As my first and middle name combined exceed 18 characters, they were not able to process my application further. They sent me a letter with the request to come up with a proposal for shortening my name or to drop the application for the pp-card. First and middle names can exceed 18 characters on the pp-book but it needs to match the name on the pp-card on which the name cannot exceed 18 characters.

Anyway, I just had to fill out the line with my first and middle names and sent this letter back. My passport application is processed by the Tucson application center which is where I live. They should have gotten my reply within a week. Never heard from them since then. It definitely delayed my application, you could say.

My wife on the other hand, whose passport was up for renewal, received a letter telling her that there was confusion about her DOB. Normaly you would only send your old passport when you apply for a new one but she was asked to send her CON in addition.

They shouldn't need addional stuff if you had submitted everything but you could be asked to clear things up for them.

You should give them a call. They might be able to tell you what it is over the phone.

[UMUC 3]

Please can someone be kind to add my info for me please?

I applied for passport on AUGUST 3rd 2012 in Washington DC and EXPEDITED the process

and it was received August 15th 2012.

Can someone tells me how long it takes to receive a passport not using the expediting services.

[UMUC 3]

Can someone tells me how long it takes to receive a passport not using the expediting services.

From the website it states 4 to 6 weeks

From what I have seen on here , shorter than that.

[Ianne25 0]

I see. Thank you for the info. Hope you'll get your pp-card and your wife pp.

I have called many times since yesterday to find out the status of my passport and when I will receive it and I keep getting the same answer, that it is currently in the New Orleans facility. I live in Florida. I absolutely have to travel over seas by September 4th due to a serious family situation and I need to know that I will receive my passport before this date. I’ve also contacted my congressional representative about this issue for additional assistance.

I have called the national passport hotline many times and no one has been able to give me information as to what I need to do. :-(
