Can anyone help me understand timeline an procedure to schedule a passport appointment at a US passport office (e.g. Chicago)? I called the line and they told me that they only scheduled out 4 weeks of actual travel date. However, they also told me processing time is at least 6-8 weeks...

So, when I told them about a Oct 13th travel they told me to call back later. How can I schedule earlier? Preferably same time as my oath ceremony?

Wife's took 7 weeks after passport arrived...but I have heard of some returning within a couple weeks.

Registered Nurse- Retired- I practiced in the areas of Labor & Delivery, Home Health, Adolescent Psych, & Adult Psych.

IT Professional- Retired- Web Site Design, Hardware Maintenance, Compound Pharmacy Software Trainer, On-site go live support, Database Manager, App Designer.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..
