  1. Received the certificate of naturalization back via USPS on 5/15. Envelope was unbent but the certificate inside was still less than pristine. Let's just say that they don't exactly treat it carefully!
  2. Once you are a US citizen you will need to use a US passport to leave and enter the United States. I believe you can request a super-expedited passport if you have travel plans booked and confirmed in the very near future, but I don't know how long that takes or what the costs involved are. More information available here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/get-fast.html I applied recently for the normal expedited passport, and that process looked like this: Passport application received 3/28/23 - passport approved and shipped 4/12/2023. 15 days. I believe that is very much the outlier though as I was told it would be 7 weeks plus.
  3. Passport was actually held at the local post office for me to collect. I picked it up on Friday, all present and correct. Just waiting for the return of my naturalization certificate now. Immigration complete!
  4. I know, can't believe it! The tracker has gone back to 'In process' again now though, despite the USPS website showing that the passport is in fact currently out for delivery in Brooklyn 🤣 Not sure the Dept. of State IT systems are up to much!
  5. Tracking number sorted itself out overnight. Passport is scheduled for delivery today. Passport application received 3/28/23 - passport approved and shipped 4/12/2023. 15 days, not the seven to nine weeks expedited timeline advised.
  6. Received an update today that my passport had shipped on 4/12/2023 (application date was 3/28/2023). The strange thing is 1) this is much faster than I expected and 2) the tracking number they provided links to a package which was delivered to an address in California (I'm in New York) on 19th March 2022... Guess I'll check the status later and see if anything changes...
  7. 3/28- Check cashed and status changed to “In Process”. Locator number is 35 (not sure where that is). Status update says expedited passports now take 7-9 weeks.
  8. 3/22 - Applied for expedited passport at Brooklyn Public Library Passport Acceptance Facility (USPS passport appointments in the city appeared to be fully booked for weeks out). 3/27 - As of today check is uncashed and application status not available (as expected!)
