My wife went DFA today to pick up her amended passport. It wasn't ready, DFA said that they are encountering "technical problems" & to come back on November 23rd to pick up the passport. My wife wanted to get a head start by going to take the medical & the CFO seminar while waiting for case complete at NVC.

She paid to have it expedited.

She said that everyone she encountered also didn't get their passport. There were people with plane tickets there complaining, she also met a lady who have her visa interview in 2 weeks who is waiting for her passport.

Same problem going on with my wife now. She expedited her passport so she can get it faster, until now, they are still not releasing it. Expediting is useless at DFA or I would say a scam. It only gives you an earlier date but you will get it as the same date as the regular... They just want your money... Oh i hate my country. Instead of going forward, it's going backward... No freaking improvements!
