update after naturalization ceremony

[JD.TH 1]

I would like to share my timeline for updating papers after naturalization ceremony.

That same day afternoon I renewed drivers license, DMV only need proof of name change.

I went to social security next day, the lady copied the papers and said it would take 10 days for my status updated in the system, and by then they will do the process afterward. USCIS was right, I should have waited 10 days before heading to SS. I'm still waiting for new card.

I applied passport at the post office after receiving my new Drivers License. I chose routine service, and it was delivered within two weeks. In my surprise the issue date was only 8 days after application! Remember to bring cash, check, or debit card because USPS don't take credit card for passport application. They will give you money order receipt.

In some regions, the DMV process might be far slower than what you experienced. Good hints.
