Any way to expediate the process? (I called this weekend but they are closed on weekends)

PLEASE thoughts....I WILL buy dinner!!!!!!!!!!

Thx Tasnam

Did you send it in requesting expedited service, and paying the expedite and rush return fee?

I sent my passport in last week to get pages added for trip coming up later this month.

I paid the $60 expedite fee, and the $14.85 for return rush mail.

I sent the passport in at noon Tuesday 23 June. The passport should have arrived by noon Wednesday 24 June. New pages were added Friday 26 June. The passport was mailed from the passport agency on Friday 26 June by Priority Mail (not overnight). It arrived on 30 June. Just over 7 days turn around.

I would recommend only purchasing a fully refundable ticket. I would also look at backup plans, like delaying the meeting.
