Expediting Petition

[kate&javi 26]

Beth,

You can actually get his passport in the SAME EXACT DAY that you apply for it. I think you have to pay a little bit more (I can't remember how much exactly, you can check on the Banco Atlantica website) BUT we just read in the newspaper that they are going to change how people apply for passports. Apparently you will be able to do it online now, so I don't know. My fiance got his passport a really long time ago so I don't remember that well, but I know for sure that he was gone all day -- he went to the bank and then to the Embassy in SPS on the same day and received his passport.

I will let you know if we get the expedite - so far we have heard absolutely nothing from them after I sent in the supporting documents.

Just got back to this comment......interesting.....I went to Fichosa for the appointment and they have told me that getting the appt made urgently is only possible at the immigration office......argh. But i will be going to Banco Atlantida's site right now!!! There is a fee for an urgent appt but it's like 400 lemps. Totally worth it! Soooo.......I don't know if it is possible to get it the same day w/o paying those guys on the street. Have never heard of making the appt and getting it the same exact day before!! That would be awesome!

Hmmmm well, hearing nothing is nothing new!
