Yes  we're also going through the passport appointment "situation".   Try the various locations  around Dallas.  It's tough.  Best of Luck to ya'll.    

I found one for next week in the Dallas County Passport Office-  East Office.  I scheduled it this past Saturday.  Most offices around here are booked solid 4 weeks out.  It's just crazy.

I have deleted all my visa related emails from April 2016 to present.

I have deleted all my I-751 and N-400 files!!  USCIS no longer controls our lives!!!!

Lol yes, that was the best part of becoming a citizen, feeling 100% certain about getting rid of every "bonafide marriage" document that has been piled up for years and years. I couldn't get rid of it fast enough. I only kept the i797c and i797 documents, more as a memory than anything.

I just couldn't delete everything yesterday.  I had some doubt about getting rid of documentation and evidence.....but, today, I took the bull by the horns....LOL.    We have spent the last 7 years analyzing how everything we did would affect the immigration process.  Now, we are Free at last!!!!!

Good luck!  I hope you get through this final phase quickly.  It went pretty fast for us once we filed the N-400.
