N-400 February 2024 Filers

[minivatreni 193]

Hi all, my Oath ceremony took place today in Chicago. It took about 1.5 hour from start to finish. It was a nice ceremony, and the judge gave a speech for about 10 minutes before swearing us in and doing the Oath. Everyone's families were there and it was a joyous moment. Afterward, I went straight to USPS and submitted a passport application with name change. 

 

Feels surreal that I am finally a US citizen!

Not sure if anyone here has Global Entry, but if you need to update your GE after citizenship / name change, you can contact CBP via the portal and send them scans via email. Took them about 2 weeks to process my request but I didn't have to go to the enrollment center.

 

• Go to ttp.cbp.dhs.gov
• At the bottom of the page where it shows CBP Support, click on "For help with Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST"
• It will open a new page for CBP Customer Service. Click on "Ask A Question" which will bring up a fillable form
• Under "Topic" choose "Trusted Traveler Programs (Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, and FAST)"
• Under "Applicable Issues", choose "Change my name due to marriage/divorce/legal"
• Under "TTP Programs", choose "Global Entry" - this includes TSA Pre Check
• Fill in the rest of the information
• They'll send you an email requesting documents
• You can send them the N400 certificate or court order for name change and the US passport

This is perfect. I have to update mine!

Have you considered contacting your US Senator's office to ask that they investigate?

Oath ceremony has been scheduled for July 19th, NYC

And just like that hubby is done. We got there late but fortunately there were still people being let in. Since he was already one of the last individuals to enter, number 160, it took a while for him to receive his naturalization paper. But he's done. Now for him to obtain his passport. 🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏾🙏🏿🙏

For those who got a passport did you use the tracker to track it? If yes, how long did it take to show up?

hey all. a final update

 

we took our oaths yesterday at a beautiful ceremony in St Paul, MN.

 

we applied for and picked up our passports today. we have international travel coming up in a few weeks and need visas, and were able to use the Urgent process.

 

with this, WE. ARE. DONE!

 

thank you to this group for all the moral support and tracking details you provided. it has been a long, painful and sometimes doubted journey, but we're finally home now.

For me it took about 4 days from the day of my appointment at the post office before the tracker showed "received" status. If I remember well, I applied on a Monday and the update happened on the Friday morning.
