Thanks, everyone, for your input on this matter. Just to let you all know that I received my brand new US passport today - two weeks and two days after submitting the application!
(Still waiting for the rest of the paperwork, and my daughter's passport, but no doubt that's all on the way too.)

Great...have a lovely holiday and thank you for reporting back to us.

Also, keep in mind, if you had not received it, at the Federal Passport Issuing offices, for an aditional fee, your passport can be issued within hours (generally 2 or 3)

We have such office in Houston. It cost an extra $60-100, and you are asked to provide proof of your emergency, but if you save your trip, it's well worth it.

There are also companies that help you do this via overnight delivery.


I'm really glad you did not need to do this, specially since you probably had sent the original N-400 with the application as required, thus complicating a possible emergency application, since most of us only have "the one".

Congratulations and Enjoy your Cruise.
