Also, I have a little time until next out-of-country trip, so will not have to pay expediting fees. Thus am I correct that under the current fee structure, I might as well just renew my passport now, instead of getting (and paying for, here in the U.S.) new pages and then having to renew in 2017?
I find that my passport is now almost always stamped upon reentry into the US. In the 90s it was maybe a 50/50 chance, but since the mid-2000s the US border people almost always stamp my passport. In the past few years I've received stamps at EWR, JFK, CLT, RDU, MIA, ORD, YYZ, YUL, and IAD.
