BillV 8-16-2004 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 My wife sent her Citizenship certificate along with her passport application on February 19th the day of her Oath. She receive her passport February 27th (9 days later) she still hasn't received her certificate back yet, has anyone else experience this and what was the time frame? or is this normal?

warpedbored Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Did you send in the original? You should have only sent a copy. If you sent the original go back to the passport office and see if they can recover it for you. This is an important document and should be kept in a safe place. You can get new one but it is expensive. Link to comment

Carl Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 When I ordered my passport I sent in birth certificate. It was returned with the passport. Are they handled differently from the certificates? Link to comment
warpedbored Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I have a bad memory but I think we only gave a copy. I'll ask wifey. Link to comment
BillV 8-16-2004 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Wife received her certificate Thursday March 5th, 2 weeks after mailing it to the Pasport center, we were going to go to Social Security and change her status to citizen Friday, but her work had a surprise citizenship celebration for her, they all sang America the Beautiful, had a ice cream cake, and gave her a large card of the American flag signed fron members and students at the college she works at.

warpedbored Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 That was very nice of them. I appologize for the disinformation. After asking wifey we did send in the original. I remember making a copy but that was for social security not the passport. We did them both the same day. Link to comment
