N-400 March 2013 Filers

I heard that although you should make an appointment, it's still a first come, first serve. FYI, so even if a person without an appointment gets there before you, they will be served first.

This is not true. The passport agencies do not process applications for people without an appointment.

Oh yeah I kno. I plan on making an appointment soon.

I know at my courthouse there is no appt required. You just walk up

I was talking about passport agencies were they issue same-day passports. Appointments are required. They do not take walk ins.

At the Atlanta location, the security won't even let you pass through security without an appointment.

Edited to add--I think you are confusing the passport acceptance facility: which are the courthouses and post offices and the passport agencies. The acceptance facilities process regular time frame passport applications and expedites. Some of the facilities require appointments and some do not.

The passport agencies which process same day passport application require an appointment and proof of travel within 14 days.

Actually in New York they do. And what happens is that if a person with an appointment at 8:00 am comes at 8:00 am but a person without an appointment comes at 7:45 am, the person without an appointment gets served first because they came first. If you read some of the reviews on yelp below, you will see that New York has a non-appointment line. I am not sure if you are from NY, but here things can be a bit different from everywhere else because of the 8 million strong living in nyc. Oh, and btw I am talking about the New York Passport agency, not a post office or a courthouse.

Candhan,

Thank you for you link, it does seem that NY allows it. I posted my views based on my experience with the Atlanta Passport Agency were I took family members twice to get their passports. Both times security made sure we had an appointments before they let us in.

I don't see why you will even need an appt at the NY agency if they process walk ins before people who have appointments.

I would assume that if the walk-in comes in and there's no line then they'd be processed first, but someone with an appointment goes to the head of a line... kinda like a doctors office processing walk-ins. If they're not busy they'll see you but once the actual appointments arrive you need to wait. At least you'd hope that's how it works otherwise it's irritating.

I know the process is quite quick thank goodness so you wouldn't be waiting long

The same here, more than 2 months after my bio and no interview letter and there is nothing with early applying because I applied 9 months after I was eligible I hope every one hear good news soon.

Edited June 17, 2013 by Romina12

[Cereza 1]

STILL no news for us either!

[Kintaro 0]

Same here, no interview letter for 2 months after bio... I wonder what is keeping our offices...

Based on what I have seen generally appointment is for 5 weeks after you receive the letter. Anybody agree or disagree?

[cindaroo64 0]

We're stilling waiting too....bio done in April and we have been in the US since 2001 with Green Cards since 2004. I've noticed some offices seem to move faster than others, there is just no rhyme or reason....good luck everyone hope we all hear real soon!!

[CurvenCJ 0]

Ugh...finally I can post an update. Interview date is set for July 9th in Atlanta. I thought they totally forgot about me...lol! Congratulations to all who have finished the process, and sending well wishes to everyone who is continuing on this long journey. Who knew Atlanta would be so busy...hee hee?!
