It took the usual 4 to 6 weeks if you use expedited service. US Passport. I renewed mine before Thanksgiving. Received it before Christmas.

Yep, all expedited all during 2020. One ended up needing to take a driver's license and birth certificate to Mexico because it didn't arrive in time.

I just became a US citizen. It took about a month for ours to arrive. I was surprised it was that fast.

My SO became a citizen in Sept and applied immediately. Got in by November

Which country? Ireland are currently not processing them at all, as with Level 5 restrictions there are no staff in the office to accept physical delivery of supporting documents

Yeah I have a British passport myself. I heard they are at a standard turnaround time and definitely still working. They can be quite strict about the photographs so make sure you follow the specification, because if they reject the photo it will add at least a week or two to your application if sending from the US.

Got new for baby in October took a month, wife renewed at same time took 6 weeks. Paid for expedited by both

3 months non-expedited. Mailed in a renewal October, received in January.

Started the renewal process in August, received my passport in November.

Recently I got invited to an interview with a decent growing company. I work in Executive Search and I am thinking of switching to in-house recruiting. During the conversation the recruiter made some weird assumptions about my current job. The interview took longer than expected and I feel like I have not delivered well. Was I wrong to expect in-house recruiter to understand the differences and similarities between in-house-recruiting, professional search and retained executive search?

I had a second round(which was a final round as well) of an interview couple of days back. But yet to receive any feedback on it. Normally how much time hr team takes for a revert? Waiting makes me feel anxious.

Anyone here who has rescheduled several times their visa interview appointment w/ embassy outside US. Allowed to schedule twice w/o penalty. On the 3rd time, it needs to be cancelled. Does yours say to wait 90 days to rebook and were you able to book immediately on the 91st day? Just wanted to know what you’ve went through ie, if there are other requirement needed when you cancel and then use the MRV fee.

I interviewed for Data Analyst role at EY, it went well and the job sounds great, but I'm a bit hesitant to leave PwC because I really like the firm and I'm just 8 months in my job as an associate at a subgroup of ITS that has some focus on technology and analytics but it's mostly tax compliance.

I do want to transition to data analytics but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to another big 4, or maybe just look for a position in industry.

Any advice or similar experience?

Hi all,
I need one help. Some recruiter asked me to send last pay slip and relieving letter even before scheduling the interview, kept calling me multiple time for this. She’s staffing for EY but she’s from vizolt (her mail ID says so)

Is this a fake call to collect information or is that how EY interviews are usually?
