N-400 January 2015 Filers

[Lily81 1]

Did anyone apply for a US passport at the Passport Agency in Manhattan the same day of their oath ceremony or next day? I tried to make an appointment but the next available appointment is the same day I'm traveling. I made my travel plans back in April thinking I would have citizenship by at least mid May ( I have friends that had their citizenship applications take a total of 4 months).

My oath ceremony is July 7th and I'm traveling on July 14th. The reviews online for walk-ins at the agency all seem to get their passports same day or next day. I plan to get on line at the passport agency by 6am on the 8th. I literally have 4 business days to get this passport.

Hope this helps, got my naturalization last week in Brooklyn and went to get my passport to the agency, they will look at itinerary, naturalization, form, pictures and will ask you to wait. I got there at 7:30 which was a big no, no! Be there at 5am and u will be telling a great story, in my case I had to wait 6 hours.....no food allowed in the building. It's boring and if you can apply at the post office it's so much easier(did it for my son and was in and out). Anyway if u are traveling the same day they will ask you to get in one line that goes way faster than the one I was in.

Anyway, other 200 people knows about this same passport agency and they will be there on the same day, so take my advice and get up early, print out everything, get ready to pay $195 and u will be fine. Good luck!

Hi Lily81, did you receive your passport the same day? I've read some posts on Yelp where some people wait that long because the passport was being printed the same day and they had it in hand that afternoon. I plan to be on line 2 hours before it opens so I will be leaving home at 4am from Queens. Crazy but I need that passport.

@Lily81 did they at anytime ask you the purpose of your trip? Or they just looked at the itinary and that was it? I'm taking my father on Monday morning. And we leave Wednessay night hopefully they give him the same day!

I am also waiting on my interview , my bio was 2/25/2015, went for info pass twice but no use. Accourding to officer everything looks good just wait for the interview.

Yesterday i spoke with Tier2 representitive, accourding to him my security check and background is completed, everything looks good but still waiting.

Make Sevice request and waiting for responce.

[WELA4000 1]

Sent in application in mid January, biometrics in mid February, and still nothing yet. I called and went to an infopass 2 weeks ago, completely useless. "There's nothing wrong with your application, it just hasn't been scheduled an interview yet. It's still at the national benefit center."

A bit worried because on trackit and here, many people with the same field office already finished their naturalization process.....

Washington DC field office. Anyone got suggestions?

im the same as you friend .. i did go twice for infopass and also did service request the reply that they has workload and they expect delay to my case....the question is if they has workload why others finished in 3 months and we are 6 months and still nothing....really don't know how they mange it...just try to be patient.

could you tell how did you spoke to Tier2 officer because i wanna call and see what they will say...thanks and good luck with you service request let me know what they gonna tell you.

My feild office is Louisville,KY. So the process time is 5 months. My case is outside of normal processing time thats why i could able to get Ther2 online. Just request i want to speak with Their2 Office the operator should be able to transfer you.

When i spoke with officer 2 he told me my Security check is done, everything looks good. Your interview could be anytime this month or next.

By the way Louisville,KY is one of the mostfastest Office in the country. I see April filer who's bio may 20 something he already have an interview.

Again my friend nothing we can do, just wait wait and wait.

If you are traveling the same day they will give it to you, get there early. It would take 3 hours to get your passport. My friend got there at 6:00am but because he was traveling the same he got his passport at 10am, in my case I wasn't traveling the same so they will ask you to wait until 3pm on thesame day to pick up or come back the next day. Again if you are travelling the same day they will give it to you right away.there us a line for people travelling the same day. They don't ask about abut the traveling reasons only for the itinerary.

@lily81 what documents did you take to the Manhattan passport agency?

Edited July 5, 2015 by NYCerXO

[BajanGal76 4]

Here is the Yelp page for reviews of the New York Passport Agency http://www.yelp.com/biz/new-york-passport-agency-new-york

I plan to get there at 5am on Wednesday morning. My oath ceremony is tomorrow but I won't have enough time to get to Manhattan afterwards from Centra Islip. Is anyone else going to oath ceremony in Central Islip on July 7th at 8:30am?
