And I feel extra stupid for knowing any of this beforehand despite reading about it supposedly thoroughly in FT and other places.

So here are the datapoints I have some pictures for (some stuff is marked out for obvious reasons):

1. Naturalized on Aug 7 (it was a saturday but they are doing it on weekends to clear the huge backlog)

2. Submitted to USPS (Aug 9). Don't have the receipt but it is similar to what was posted earlier. I found a same day appointment in a small town on the south edge of Houston. There is no tracking information on the receipt.:

3. Check Cashed (Aug 13)

4. Passport status updated to shipped with return tracking number (Please note that there was no tracking information available to me before this step):
