    I'm glad I waited a couple of weeks before filing (and paying $555) for a replacement certificate. My original certificate arrived today, 5/12/2025 via regular mail, with giant punctures throughout the document and envelope it came in. It was postmarked 2/14/2025. I assume that the passport agency sent it back and it got chewed up by USPS's sorting machines. I really dislike all the holes, but is there a reason I would need an intact certificate in the future? I don't plan on sponsoring anyone for an immigrant visa.

    Starting a new thread to document this minor but expensive annoyance. I understand that there can be delays in getting back my naturalization certificate, but I applied in January 2025. It's now May and I still haven't received it. My timeline: Jan. 27, 2025: applied at USPS for a passport book and card. The employee took my original certificate of naturalization. Paid for expedited processing Jan. 30, 2025: Dept of State confirms receiving my passport application Feb. 6, 2025: received my passport book in the mail Feb. 12, 2025: received my passport card Mar. 31 / Apr. 14 / May 1, 2025: called the National Passport Information Center to follow up my naturalization certificate. Finally, on May 1, they confirmed they couldn't find it and sent me instructions to get reimbursed. Now I have to file USCIS Form N-565 to get a replacement certificate, pay $555 and file another set of documents for DOS to reimburse me.

    Yes, I did select that option and also received my new SS card in the mail without needing to make another appointment after naturalization. It used to be that USCIS and SS systems didn't talk to each other properly. Fortunately, that seems to be resolved with the N-400 online form.

    I filed online for naturalization in Sept 2024 and took the oath in Jan 2025. In the online form where it asks "Do you want the Social Security Administration (SSA) to issue you an original or replacement Social Security card and update your immigration status with the SSA if and when you are naturalized?" I answered YES. Today I received a new SS card in the mail, less than two weeks after my oathtaking and without needing to go to the SS office. Great, for once the USCIS and SS systems talked to each other properly! Hope this saves others a step in their post-naturalization to-do list.

    Just finished my combo interview. Easy process with friendly, professional officers. I spent more time in the waiting room than doing the actual interview! I-751: filed June 2024 N-400: filed Sept 2024 Approved Dec 2024 Now waiting for oath ceremony
  30. Adventine
    Combo interview scheduled! I-751 filed in June 2023 (approx. 1.5 years waiting time) N-400 filed in Sept 2024 (approx. 2 months waiting time)
  31. Adventine
    Wow indeed!! I filed some days before you but haven't gotten any update since then. Good luck!
  32. Adventine
    Just finished filing online. One more time on the USCIS merry go round!

    Any legit job that pays enough to raise a family will ask for your SSN. And you use the SSN to properly report your income to the IRS. If neither of those things interests you, all I can say is good luck, girlll

    Part of being a responsible mother/housewife is having backup plans in case your spouse becomes unable to work (has an accident, loses his job, or many other common life events that can happen to anyone at any time). Anyway, what's done is done. The VisaJourney forums are full of info from people at every stage of the process. You have the opportunity to research, plan ahead and learn from others' experiences. Good luck with the rest of your journey.

    I check the online status every couple of months, but I don't expect any movement for a couple of years. Maybe that will change when I file for naturalization next year.
