We applied for a expedited passport for a new born on 10/28. 

 

passportstatus.state.gov been showing "In Process" ever since.

 

Reps on 877-487-2778 tells us to just wait. But for how long? It's already been over 6 weeks.

 

Is it time to write a letter to the senator? 

 

 

RoC Timeline:

  1. 12/01/2023 - Application sent to Tempe, AZ lockbox
  2. 12/06/2023 - Application received by USCIS
  3. 12/12/2023 - Check cashed by USCIS

Most of expedites don't work.

What was the reason for expedite request?

It's the process time.

 

Basically the post offices' offer two options. Regular vs. Expedited. 6-9 weeks vs. 3-5 weeks. For $60 extra.

 

No updates from their 1-877 hotline. At this rate, I think we will probably either have to wait 6-9 weeks or write letter to state senator office to prod them on. At least on Reddit, lots of folks seems to have very good luck with the senator method. It's quiet frustrating. Which is saying a lot since we've been through a few DS260s and NVC processes :)

It ended up taking 3 months.

 

If passport not in hand 5 weeks. Id recommend Go ahead and contact state senator office.

 

They got me an passport agency appointment within week and had our passport same day of the appt.

 

Just make sure iternry leaving within two weeks ready among other things the passport agenxy asks you to have.
