I did. Officer conducted my N-400 interview and went through I-751 application quickly (divorce waiver).

He then asked for time to review my file which was like 3 big binders. I got my approval about 4 months later for both.

Can I ask you how long did you wait for your interview?  Did they transfer your I751 somewhere after submitting your N400?  I don't see any movement on my file but I hope for the best.

My I-751 was pending for a long time. But my N-400 went through normal timeline. I filed my case end of July 2017 and I interviewed in March 2018

You just need to show international travel itenary in order to get your passport quicker. I went on Thursday Afternoon, and my itenary showed I have a fight at noon on Friday. So they asked me to wait for my passport same day. Expidited passport is $60 more.

 

I paid $235 to get both Passport book and Passport Card which was sent by mail and I already received it

May I know where you applied for the passport? i might need to expedite mine when the time comes. thanks!

I applied at Washington Passport Agency located at 600 19th ST NW, Washington DC

 

You can either walk-in or make an appointment online (if you know your Oath date, just schedule a day of after the Oath or other day convinient for you)

 

I also filled my Passport application online in advance and printed a copy

 

You must have an itinerary/ proof of urgent travel to use this method

It can take a month and even more depending on Virginia Oath vs. DC Proper Oath Ceremonies. If you get "Oath Notice Mailed", then you should have the letter within couple of days

 

I live in DC proper (downtown DC), and the Oath is always at the District Court. Here is my Oath Timeline

Oath will be scheduled: Sep 21, 2018

Status Changed to Oath Notice Mailed: Nov 30

Status Changed again to Oath Notice Mailed: Dec 10

Received Oath Letter: Dec 13

Oath Ceremony Date: Jan 8, 2019

19 November 2018: approved

19 November 2018: in line for oath

27 December 2018 we mailed your oath ceremony letter

Oath date :26 January 2019

(This Saturday! In less than 48 hours)
