Received an update email from the US Passport Status site that my application was in process. She said it's a small facility and they're very responsive. She could see the application was at the Charleston location. She was very confident that it was going to be okay. I called the caseworker and she answered! She was friendly and said she'd been out of town for a week. He said it hadn't been opened yet, but that they'd get to it. I had an email confirmation and after some more looking, he found it. I called the rep's office again and they made my heart drop when they said they never received the form the caseworker sent. I texted a few times asking for an update. I called 3 times, she never answered and her voicemail was full. The person who answered was very positive and hopeful. Paid for expedited and overnight shipping. Appointment at a local city office to renew my son's passport. I imagine the holiday will slow it down too. He's under 16 so we had to renew in person. We do have changeable tickets just in case but I want it all to work out. We realized my son's passport was expired but booked the trip anyway in hopes that expediting it and getting hope from this feed it'll come in time. I guess I will be missing my daughters wedding They also told me when I called one of the multiple times- that my overnighted letter was never received. So here I am waiting 4 months for a passport. They told me they are BOOKED 4 weeks out, at all agencies within 10 hours of me (and I even said- where could I go and they did not provide that info). The new form was overnighted (for free) by the post office and it has been in their hands since August 2- My trip is for August 29, and when I called for the appointment (which you have to wait until there are only 14 days left). Thats 16 weeks later to get any news whatsoever and I have been calling since June. On August 1st I have a letter explaining the POST OFFICE signed the form in an ink other than black (which I really dont recall). I needed this for March 23 so I am good to go!!!!Ĭonsider yourself lucky- I applied in Ohio the end of APRIL 2022, it was received the 1st of May. I thought something stupid would happen where they would eventually get my passport, process it, but then they would get my Lost Passport form and file that, cancelling out my new passport, and then taking forever to send me another one. And knowing my luck, I was afraid to do so, so I wasn't sure what to do. I thought they had lost my passport and I would have had to report a lost passport and send in a new application. I honestly could have walked down to Philadelphia myself and it would have been mailed quicker. And their customer service was no help at all. Had USPS got their shit together, it would have actually taken a lot less time than it did. The Expedited service definitely exceeded its expectations, since the turnaround time was 5-7 weeks and it took less than 2 weeks on Passport Agency's end. Check cashed (LOL 5 days since delivery date) Arrived at USPS Regional Destination FacilityPHILADELPHIA PA DISTRIBUTION CENTER (LOL took 3 days to get from NJ to Philadelphia) Arrived at USPS Regional Origin Facility ( 2-day priority my - In Transit to Next Facility Dropped off Expedited Passport Renewal at USPS This was a nightmare but I put the fault mostly on USPS for taking almost 3 weeks to deliver my renewal from Connecticut to Philadelphia.
