I might be late to the game, but my son collected his passport today at the Kingston Jamaica Embassy.  We were floored to have him receive just his passport and not the big manila envelope.   Immigration is going PAPERLESS!!!  IV was transferred electronically to CBP.  Has anyone experienced this as yet?  Or am I just a slow goose.

Consulates started this a few years ago.  There might be a few who do not transfer electronically.

"The US immigration process requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and a significant amount of money.  It is quite a journey!"

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

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..
