Took my citizenship oath virtually this morning (Friday, March 13th)! Thanks to everyone here for all of your help and for making me feel like I wasn't crazy or impatient during the past year! For everyone still waiting, wishing a speedy end to the process for you!

I applied for a passport using the Citizenship to Passport Pilot Program, will provide updates here. Submitted my documents, photo, receipt within a day or so of the invitation. Signed my oath form immediately after the ceremony ended and emailed it today.

Congratulations !

Can you use the same digital photo you uploaded for your citizenship application for the passport pilot program ?
OR - did you have to get a fresh one taken, since it was more than 6 months ago ?

My application took 9 months (from the actual AOR, 11 from my original submission, 10 from my second submission) to process so I did have to have new photos taken, yes.

Also, when does the passport pilot invitation usually come through (if one gets invited at all) ? - as in how many days before the ceremony date ?
