Philippine Passport Renewal Los Angeles

[TripleG 3]

Does anyone know a good phone number you can call to check the status of a Philippine passport? My wife flew to LA back around Jun. 16th to renew her passport. She payed for expedited mail service and was told it would arrive between 6 to 8 weeks. Its been close to 8 weeks already. Called the consul in LA and (no surprise) they said just be patient. Really? They either can't track the status or are too lazy to do it. I was just wondering is there a main number outside of the ones posted on the Consul website that could help us? I am trying to coordinate scheduling having surgery, buying plane tickets for 5 and getting a U.S. passport for my youngest daughter and it all hinges on when my my wife's passport will arrive.

Thanks in advance,

Wyatt

P.S. anyone on here renew in LA within the last few months? and if so, how long did it take to receive?

You have probably seen this already:

http://www.philippineconsulatela.org/contactus.htm

It lists several phone numbers to call, including a "passport mailing section" number.

Good luck

Yeah....sent an email, no response. Called and got be patient sir, but no information at what phase of the process it is at or anything like that. Just wanted them to check, but maybe I am being unrealistic in my expectations. If its going to be longer than 8 weeks...that info would really help me out a lot. There is some really good deals on airfare through United on the flight we most like to take. Houston to Hawaii to Guam to Manila, but I can't purchase until it arrives or I know definatively when it will.

Thanks anyway for your response.

I don't have a good phone number but may I suggest that you call the Washington DC consular services and see if they can put a trace on it.

Passports are sent to the Department of Foreign Affairs in Manila for printing and issuance maybe you can find a phone number for that location.

Have you tried every phone number on that page, from the Consulate General on down?

Worth a go. Maybe someone along the line can take a moment to get you your information.

Rule #1 when dealing with the Philippines; be patient. No matter how many calls you make you will not speed things up.

My wife renewed her passport at a consulate (LA) outreach event, she got the new one within the 8 weeks number.
