i told him about my travel plan and then he said it's impossible to get it done on time. so, i can't do nothing, he couldn't either 😭😭 . unless if the congressman called 😁😁 it might be something,.

 

i contacted congressman and sent my casework to him today, so, i hope it will double expedite 🤪🤪.

 

when u called USPS, were u able to get the info where they send the application ?

 

 

 

 

You still didn't hear anything back? Honestly this is overwhelmingly long and not an expedited service. You should apply for a refund regardless. I remember I see someone posted in this topic around page 80-90 about request of refund as they didn't get their passport within the processing time.

I got e mail this morning my Passport was approved and shipped. Processed at Dallas passport Agency. Applied on August 10th. They started to process on August 20th. Exactly 4 weeks.

Not at all, even congressman that I asked for assistance, they can’t help too much  unless for family medical emergency , they reason out due to less people for passport processing. 😬😬 so delay expected. 
yup for sure I’ll asked for refund until completely 6 week. 
next weeks is the 6th 😬

i wanna update mine (expedite service )

04-05-2021 Applied passport at USPS near my location

04-26-2021 DOS received the application and  status changed " in process "

04-27-2021 Money Order is being cashed out. 

05-25-2021 Status changed " Approved " and then after in minute it changed to " Shipped " from Tucson 

05-27-2021 Passport arrived and i hold it 😁😁

 

since DOS received my application on 04-26-2021 so it is still in time frame for expedite service (4-6), but my application got floated in the air for 3 weeks  😁😁

 

based on my experience : 

Called US center passport it will not change the processing time more faster, unless if u really have emergency, or want to change the service from " Routine to Expedite " --- CMIIWW 😁😁. 

Asked assistant to congressman in my area, i didn't get very well because the congressman team's reasoned out that my case is not emergency and bla,,bla,bla😁🤪🤪,

 

Passport card and NC still on the way, i hope it will arrive soon too.

Congratulations!

 

I am glad you are at the end of the process....

 

My application got floated around for 5 weeks before showing up as 'In Process'..... still waiting for approval, but mine is 'Regular'.

I still feel 4 weeks from 'In process' to 'Approved' for Expedited is still longer than average although it falls within their advertised timelines...
