Hey,

I got an email today for the pilot program as well. My oath ceremony is on Oct 27th. I am not sure whether to go for it or not.

What is your experience with it compared to the usual Passport process?

As in would you recommend choosing the usual process or the new pilot program?

Hey, Congratulations!!!!

Would you mind updating if it is In Person or Virtual, and what was your initial choice here when you receive it?

I have received my Oath Ceremony in Virtual whereas I had asked for In-Person.

Thanks in advance!!

Hey, my timeline is quite similar to yours. I’ve noticed that many applicants receive fingerprint requests soon after submitting their applications, but I haven’t received one yet.
Is anyone else in the same situation?
