PASSPORT RENWAL

[SKingy1 0]

Hi all

I sent my passport renwal forms off to the British Embassy in Washington DC 6 weeks ago. I sent it via USP Next day air and had it signed for. I am getting extremely worried that my passport will not come in time for my trip home to uk at 4am 26th August 06.

I have called the passport number mentioned on the ukusa web site. (it costs $2.10 PER MINUTE!!)I have called them FIVE times (in the past 6 weeks) only to be told that I am not on their systems and to wait a week and call again. Well, today was the last straw, I wanted to speak to a suprevisor and get him to explain why I am not in their system even though $185 was taken out of our credit card account on the 2nd August 06. I was again reassured that a call would be put through to the Embassy and someone would contact me. Well,

NO ONE HAS CALLED ME! and I am getting really really nervous about getting my passport on time. I am nervous that on the form I wrote that I was leaving on holiday 26th august 06 which I am just really early in the morning. I want it BEFORE that day!!!

Does ANYONE know another emergency contact number I can call? I really am desperate to find out about my passport as far as I know its been lost and I need it. As you can imagine I am really nervous about this because it also has my I-551 stamp in it and I need that to get my drivers licence renewed and also I need another SS number.

I am really desperate.

Can anyone help me?!!!

please?

UPDATE:

The Embassy called me this morning to let me know my passport was approved and it would arrive by fedex today. I am just so so relieved because I really need this. Anyway, I still feel nervous and will feel so much better when I am actually holding it in my hand later!!!

I will let you all know if I get it.

THanks a bunch and thanks to all for reading and advising.
