How’s being a naturalized citizen have anything to do with this. Just apply.

Speculating here: OP probably has family that are not citizens and they’re afraid their application for convenience may inconvenience their fam.

Similar situation. Took me 9 months of waiting but everything got approved in the end. Recently renewed it and used it. All good.

Takes forever to get it processed no matter what, took me a year to get through the process and card in hand, don’t think it matters whether you are naturalized or not, just takes a long time…

As noted by others, the process for scheduling an in-person appointment is the most time-consuming part.

I used an app called Global Interview (cost like $5) that gave me immediate push notifications for openings at nearby airports.

Yeah, it’s no biggie, i did interview on arrival for my two kids at JFK the year before Covid hit, was faster than waiting in the regular passport line!

Dunno but we were a bit worried about my similarly naturalized no criminal record spouse being hassled upon return from a trip - then basically walked straight in after a quick photo at immigration and no document check or human interaction whatsoever.

That’s a LOT (too much?) of faith to put in facial recognition.

Point is immigration/CBP doesn’t seem to be giving people issues in any kind of systemic way.

Got conditional approval for GE in 2 days as a foreigner (on an L1) and did the interview on arrival a week later. Why would it be an issue if they already decided to give you citizenship?

When was that?

I interviewed at KPMG on 11/14 and got a verbal offer the next day but since then waiting to hear from them. Been following up continuously but the partners are not replying it seems. In the meanwhile i have an offer from BT offering 90k for 4 yrs of experience which seems to be fair. I am just unsure whether to accept the offer as I was waiting for kpmg reply as I want B4 on my resume which apparently is a big deal. Is BT also good on resume for future employers ??
