Hi Sheila526! Can I ask you a question? What does the locator number do? Can you add me to the list. I applied last Oct. 31 for my passport and card. Thanks in advance for the reply. I saw that you came from the Philippines also.

I'm not Sheila, but I'll tell you :yes: You need the locator number to be able to locate your application if you call the Department of state with any questions regarding your application.

Every time I try to add something to the list I mess up, so maybe someone else can do it :lol:

Just curious, since I'll be doing this soon. For those of you who got expedited processing with the overnight delivery of your passport, which method is DOS using for sending you the passport, USPS, UPS or FEDEX?

Hi Sheila526! Can I ask you a question? What does the locator number do? Can you add me to the list. I applied last Oct. 31 for my passport and card. Thanks in advance for the reply. I saw that you came from the Philippines also.

Did you use the Routine Service or Expedited? Where did you apply? (City, State)

Here's the answer for your question:

I'm not Sheila, but I'll tell you :yes: You need the locator number to be able to locate your application if you call the Department of state with any questions regarding your application.

Every time I try to add something to the list I mess up, so maybe someone else can do it :lol:

So I got my CON today but still no updates about my son's passport. For those who applied with a minor, did you get your CON first before their passport? Is this a normal procedure?

I use the regular procedure. I mailed it last Oct. 31 here in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. What I saw in the website is just the locator number. I applied for the book and the card.

So I got my CON today but still no updates about my son's passport. For those who applied with a minor, did you get your CON first before their passport? Is this a normal procedure?

I got my CON back way before I got my kids passports. I actually called DOS and asked if I had to mail it or my passport back as proof for the kids and they said NO. So I believe it is normal to get the CON back before a minor passport is done.

I received my middle son's BC, translation and GC back the other day. My oldest one's passport is ready and should arrive on or around 11/13/11.

Even if the PO is open on Saturday, they do not accept passport applications. Check the actual passport application hours, they're not the same as the PO general hours.

The USPS does accept passport applications on Saturdays in GA but an appointment is required. This is the best time to apply for a passport since the spring/summer rush is over....

Jan 1999- F1 to USA

June 2006- AOS thru D.O.R.A.

Dec 2009- Oath. Finally a U.S Citizen

I am proud to be Tanzamerican!

Timeline

I got my CON back way before I got my kids passports. I actually called DOS and asked if I had to mail it or my passport back as proof for the kids and they said NO. So I believe it is normal to get the CON back before a minor passport is done.

I received my middle son's BC, translation and GC back the other day. My oldest one's passport is ready and should arrive on or around 11/13/11.

Thanks! That calmed me down a littledevil.gif

Hi guys - planning on applying for a passport on Saturday (if USPS is open).... kicking.gifkicking.gif
