Called Passport office today and they said the processing time is 8 week plus 1 week for mail delivery because of Pandemic, they offer for urgent process if I can provide proof of emergency or ticket.
I wish I had put a date while submitting application

Didn’t you play the driving to USA card? They can’t ask for proof. Start saying how come the website says 20 days. This is inaccurate and why should you be penalized for inaccurate information. Say, you could have walked in n all of accurate times were shown on the website. Ask them to make a note for faster processing.

My credit card got charged today (on a Sunday!). I sent my passport exactly 1 month ago on August 26th and it reached them August 30th. I called them 3-4 days ago and they said the processing time is 6 to 8 weeks. The credit card charge happened exactly after 20 business days.
Hello,
I wasn’t sure where else to post this inquiry, but since you are already in the passport application stage I thought of doing it here.
I had my oath on September 21, and I emailed the signed oath and pictures of my destroyed PR card the same day.
The next day, I noticed the tracker status changed to “Closed” and ECAS “Complete”.
I understand the certificate can take 2-4 weeks to arrive. However, I wanted to know if they send an acknowledgement email confirming they received the documents I sent after the oath? I didn’t receive any response.
Is it safe to assume that since my application was set as “Closed” that they did receive what I sent and the certificate has been sent?
Thanks

Hi folks,
May be super trivial questions . In the passport application:
1. Do we need to provide digital signature or we can just print and then sign it ?
2. Can the print be black and white ?
3. Can we do express pick up with travel date "unknown"

I received my certificate yesterday. Exactly 1 week after my ceremony. I’m now preparing my passport application. Are passport offices working on a walk-in basis? Or is it better to mail it? I’m planning to travel the last week of November.
I just got my Citizenship Cert returned to me along with my payment receipt and a note to say the passport will be delevered by courier...getting closer now!
