If they finished, they forgot about me! According to Processing times, I can submit an inquiry (Receipt date for a case inquiry - January 26,2020, which is my filing date) but when I filled the details, it said "Your application or petition is currently within the posted processing times. "

R u kidding me???

Try re-submitting it this month, because Dallas N400 processing timeline is 16 months. Hope it gets through.

This delay is probably happening because you have another pending case.

Interview today (June 8th), and I checked the USCIS website to see they mailed my Oath Letter today also. Oath will be June 23rd

 

They asked me if I had stolen any hub caps and not got caught. Genuine question.

Thanks @ImmiGeek! Your notes need to be made into a book 😇 !

My Experience of the Passport Process: (Some of you may think I am nuts but so be it... documenting it for those who like me like/love details. Others, please ignore this)

 

1. Purchased Airline Tickets and printed out the Itinerary from the Airline's Website

2. Printed out the Confirmation Email from the Passport Agency (Dallas). After security downstairs, I took  the elevator to 11th floor and go to Suite# 1120. Suite's Glass Door is shut and the Security Office inside verified my confirmation number to a printout. (The confirmation number is very important and the Security Officer will NOT let you in if you do not show/tell him the 8 digit confirmation number. ) Additionally, only show up at Suite 1120,  15 minutes before your appointment. I was there 21 minutes before my appointment and was told to take the elevator to ground floor and wait. Cannot wait in the 11th floor lobby per Security Office.

 

Exactly 15 minutes before my interview I came back up and the Security Office verified my Confirmation number to his printout and I was sent to Counter # 1 where the Dallas Passport Agency person reviewed these  documents

• Confirmation Email (Printed out)
• Passport Form (Pre-filled via the Form Filler at https://pptform.state.gov/). DO NOT SIGN the form
• Naturalization Certificate (Original) and PhotoCopy
• Driver's License (Original) and PhotoCopy
• Printed Itinerary of Travel / Electronic Ticket(s)

 

The Agency person then gave me a paper token (with a number on it) and told me to sit. There were only 4 other people in the entire area. Within minutes, my token was called and I proceeded to the window where the Agent reviewed all the documents listed above. Fees $235 was collected via CC. I was told to await a text to my cell phone in about 2 hours and then come back when I get the text. The Agent had me take of my mask temporarily to verify my face to the Drivers License and then told me to raise right had to swear that the info in the Passport form was accurate and the photograph submitted was my likeness. Then he had me sign the passport form.

 

When I received the text (in exactly 2 hours), I went through the security again (as I had gone to my car which was parked in the paid parking lot across the street) and rode up the elevator to the 11th floor. The same Security Officer verified my text on my cell phone, before he let me in. Back to Counter #1 where I was given a Blue Envelope with my "Shiny" new passport book, passport card, my precious Naturalization Certificate. I was asked to verify the Passport before I left the office.

 

In my case, I also had photocopies of my Drivers license and the Naturalization Certificate Ready with me when I submitted. As my appointment was approximately 1 hour after the Naturalization Ceremony, I wondered how I could get a photocopy made (instead of trying to convince the Passport Agency Personnel to make one and probably make them cross). As I mentioned earlier, some of you may think I am nuts (but I am always over-prepared by nature). I had ordered an HP ENVY 6055 Wireless Printer and a 150 W Car Power Inverter that I used to make multiple copies (and scanned it via the HP Envoy to my iPhone) of the Naturalization Certificate before I left the USCIS Parking Lot.  So if someone saw me with my trunk open and standing and making copies .... it was me.... 😁.  Since I had all the required copies (ID & NC) and the other docs, the Agent was extremely happy and said, if others would bring everything so organized, it would be very easy.  Well... after this long post, I am going to take a quick break!

Can you please share if your appointment with Dallas passport agency was made online or on the phone?  I have been trying numerous times a day over the past week to get an appointment with no luck. Any tips you may have? I need to travel on Saturday to UK. Any help or insight would be very appreciated!
