I am not familiar with Mr Gronski's process, other than the FOIA request, however, I sent in mine about a 6 weeks ago, I filled it out to the letter the way the copper moon shine still's explained, I said no to US citizen on all, I gave no ss # I gave a rfd address, and I guess the state dept. agreed I wasn't a US Citizen and gave me a passport in about 2 weeks. I am an Illinoisan, they apparently confirmed that. However, the passport I got back was Blue. My passport is in all caps however, and it does say Illinois USA. I do believe, i am taking steps. I am not sure of Patrick's green one yet. though I did see some examples online. But, with the RFID in these, theres some kind of security law or act in effect. Last I checked, all new passport cards have them. I also, need some direction as far as the FOIA request, I have never done one. Can anyone help me out with that? I am just curious, the post(woman) did take a copy of my CDL (unfortunately I am a part-time truck driver) I definitely would like to see what the state dept. recieved. I am Dave of the family OBrien.
