I didn't know this - thank you so much!

Some follow-up questions after catching up on the thread:

- I decided to do expedited + 1-2 day delivery on both ends. Is doing expedited through Philly a worse choice than regular through TX? I saw some posts about wanting to avoid Philly.
- Is there a chance they may exceed the 6 weeks processing time for expedited? My travel date is exactly 7 weeks from tomorrow (Monday) when I mail the application. 6 weeks + 4 mailing days barely gets it to me the friday before travel.
- Would bugging my representative around the 4-5 week mark work, even though they say to expect 4-6 weeks for expedited?
