The Alien Registration number is printed on the Certificate of Naturalization. DPS only needs the AR# but if you sent them a copy of your passport, it's fine. The reasons being not everyone has their passport and it's unlawful to make copies or photographs of the Certificate of Naturalization.

Nah??? If you sent them the scans f your passport, that's great. They only need the Alien Registration number so I just wanted to mention it.

No, as long as you gave them your Alien Registration number. A friend of mine came from South Vietnam and it took him only 28 days mailbox to mailbox last year.

With a clean record, BG check would only take a few days. Then another "few days" for CHL in Manufacturing Pending then Mailed and finally, Wally Walk.

...or if you have my luck, it'll be a few weeks for manufacturing For your sake, I hope you do get it quick, cause it's causing me to go insane

Sorry to hear you and some other folks have to wait that long. My BG check took only 5 days then.

Congrats!

It will be at least a week after they received your packet to see the changes online.
