Mine is going into 2 weeks from submitting all the stuff at the Post Office this coming Monday (2/7),  it is not showing in their system yet. 

Any update on your case? I mailed in my application on 1/31. Still waiting for the check to be cashed or my case to be logged into their system.

Hi

 

I'm filling in the online passport form (DS-11) and wonder should I print it out single-sided or double-sided? By the way, which of online form or by hand filling you recommend? My own understanding it makes it more convenient and readable, is this right or there are other aspects I'm missing?

 

One more question. Do the USPS offices have money order for paying the department of states fees or I have to buy it from somewhere else before attending my appointment?

 

Thanks.

Nice. Do they provide photocopies services too or have to find a place like CVS to make a photocopy from my naturalization certificate before my passport appointment?

Why the rush?  When people rush...that's when you make mistakes. Take a day or two to SIGN your certificate, make a copy or two of it. The Post Office does not offer photo copy services; Fedex/Kinkos does however.

I'm planning for a travel in March and applied yesterday with expedited service. I got several copies after singing my NC and paid all the fees to the USPS with my debit card. It was an easy process and without no hassle. They sent my package to Philadelphia as the first step of processing. All expedited passport application from all states get sent there first and then assigned to different offices.
