[Shivi]

Hello all:

I will attending the Interview in a week.

I am scheduled to travel in March 1st week.

Getting a passport is taking 4 weeks on an average,
Is there much faster process?

Expedited processing is the fastest, it costs more. But it is taking about 4 weeks.

[Shivi]

I understand that, but Is there anything faster - like getting in a week etc.

--Shiv

For a brand new passport. No.

First of all you don't get naturalized until the oath, and not all offices perform the oath on the same day as the interview.

Secondly, if you do get the oath and the Citizenship Certificate that day, and you have travel plans within 14 days, you can get a passport same day if you can go to a regional passport agency:

Hello all, I just went through my interview in San Jose and the oath date is taking more than 1.5 months. Wondering if it is safe to travel before the oath outside the country. You may write to me at [email protected].

In the interview letter, they requested proof of "Selective Service" registration:

Does it apply? GC was employment based?

Pls. reply.

About Selective Service ...

... read this:

https://www.immihelp.com/register-fo...ervice-in-usa/

With few exceptions, all male US citizens and male aliens residing in the US and its territories who are at least 18 years old, but not yet 26 years old, must be registered with Selective Service. Registration is a civic and legal responsibility.

The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) makes registration with Selective Service a condition for U.S. citizenship if the man first arrived in the U.S. before his 26th birthday.

Thank you.

I am currently over 26 age

But when I arrived in US, I was less then 26 years old.

When my GC was approved, I was over 26 years old.

So just to clarify, it does not apply in my case.

Thanks Again.
