Me and my wife both filed for expedited processing on Aug 20th, both went into processing on Aug 27 (Application Locator 68). Her's got approved on Sept 21st and arrived today, mine still says In-Process. My application number was 1 number before hers, anyone else ran into anything similar?  

Mines went from in process to shipped today i should be getting both passport card and book on the 25th.

I’ve always heard the packet always shows up on informed delivery as the following, probably for security reasons:

Same here, nothing showed up in Informed Delivery. I saw that image on other days but not on the day it was actually delivered.

Finally got the passport in the mail.  Was ready to buy a ticket today to leave on Sunday.  My co-worker came down with Covid and now I have to pay the price.  Wife is going to travel  alone while I continue to go to work.  There is no reason for her to be punished.

 

I swear I have never been so angry in my life. Punched  a hole into a wall at my workplace and probably broke a knuckle.  

 

I hated this entire process since it first started with the K1 Visa.  It's just too damned much stress.  If I knew ahead of time, how the last 5 years would have been, I would have left the moment I first saw my wife.

 

Thanks for listening to my Ted talk.  Good luck to everyone here.

I am going to update the previous reply so that it is representing some new changes in order to keep the picture all together for Charleston, SC locator 34 processing center. For the other applicants at other processing centers: please note that Charleston's processing center is one of the slowest processing centers, especially with the routine applications, so please be careful as you compare it to your own processing center at some other location or as you draw any conclusions.
 

Here are a few timelines with locator 34 in Charleston, SC and hopefully that will give you some idea of how long it is taking for approval at that location these days. I am providing the day of the application at USPS/library/county office and the day in which approval was indicated (if any). I am also including whether the application was expedited or routine service. All the approved applicants received their passports within 3 business days post approval date.

ROUTINE APPLICANTS:

Applicant 1)   Applicant applied on 4/2/21 at USPS --- Routine service --> approved 12 weeks later (June 25).

Applicant 2)  Applicant applied on 4/2/21 at USPS -- Routine Service --> approved 11 weeks later (June 18).
Applicant 3)  Applicant applied on 6/21/21 at a County/Library office -- Routine Service --> Approved  10 weeks and 5 days later, or approximately 11 weeks later on (September 4th).
Applicant 4) Applicant applied on 6/28/21 at City hall -- Routine Service --> Approved 11 weeks + 4 days later on (September 17th).
Applicant 5)  Applicant applied on 6/29/21 at USPS -- Routine Service --> Approved 11 weeks + 2 days later on (September 16th). 
Applicant 6)  Applicant applied on 7/6/21 at USPS -- Routine Service -->  Approved 11 weeks + 2 days later on (September 23rd). 

All applications in the routine service were approved as predicted, which took about 11-12 weeks after submitting applications at county/city halls or at USPS office. 

EXPEDITED APPLICANTS:
Applicant 7)  Applicant applied on 6/10/21 at USPS -- Expedited Service --> Approved 4 weeks + 1 day later (July 9).

Applicant 8 )  Applicant applied on 8/17/21 at USPS -- Expedited Service --> Approved  exactly 5 weeks later (September 21st). 

Applicant 9) Applicant applied on 8/21/21 at USPS -- Expedited service --> Approved 3 weeks + 6 days later, almost 4 weeks, on (September 17th). 
Applicant 10) Applicant applied on 8/23/21 at USPS -- Expedited service --> Approved 4 weeks + 3 days later (September 21st) 

All applications in the expedited service were approved as predicted, which took about 4-5 weeks after submitting applications at county/city halls or at USPS office. 


I hope that answers your questions in regards to Charleston, SC's processing center.

Just got it yesterday!

 

Strangely, it arrived in a Priority Mail envelope but there was no tracking number...🙄

I received my NC today, finally done with everything. I realize I stressed too much during the process. One of my friend told me couple of years ago to have patience during the immigration process and everything will fall into correct place. I wish I had that patience

Sep. 25: Passport card delivered. 

[bing10 114]

So my complete timeline for expedited processing with priority delivery - applied for small book and card:

 

08/25/21: Applied at USPS Columbus OH
09/03/21: Status "In process". Locator begins with: 76 (Atlanta)
09/06/21: Check cashed
09/16/21: Status "Approved"
09/16/21: Status "Shipped"
09/18/21: Passport book received (old style). Shipped from Tucson, AZ (but return address shown as San Diego, CA)
09/20/21: Passport card received.
09/25/21: Naturalization certificate received.

 

I subscribed for email updates, but didn't receive anything. I just checked the progress site a couple of times a day to see the changes. Also interestingly, I checked the status page on the day after it had shipped, and the status went back to displaying "Approved", and the shipping details were no longer displayed.

Same thing happened to me it went from shipped to approved removing the tracking number lol i received my passport yesterday im thinking passport card will arrive monday and NC judging from all the comments on here i should aim for maybe a month. 

[Pupmom 24]

Parents applied in NC on 8/24. Check cashed 9/2. Got passport, passport card and NC last week (9/20 abouts). 
 

I applied from seattle on 8/25. Check cashed 9/7. Still shows under process. Looks like locator 75xxxxxx. Curious to see when I get mine!
