Recap
To Recap my last post.
Travel is tomorrow and I did not receive my passport through the mail. Luckily I was able to get an appointment and pick it up same day at the Los Angeles passport agency.
Senator Padilla office never responded 2 voicemails and 3 emails over 8 days
Senator Feinstein office emailed me last night - asked for proof of travel one day before my flight leaves - first contact 9 days ago
My congressmen office called me today to see if I received my passport. I let them know I was able to get an appointment and took care of it myself. The girl said " I'm sorry we were unable to assist" - I reached out to them 1st over 2 weeks ago.
Couple Notes:
I noticed all over the web it states that they are not taking walk-ins at the passport agencies. I can confirm there was non appointment line today, it was HUGE but it was there. If you are stuck and have travel I would recommended going super early, you will guarantee yourself a passport same day.
Once I provided all the documents and my existing locator number they did not charge me again for my passport. They charged me $35 and told me to come back at 1pm to pick up my sons passport.
It took me over 2 hours to pick up the passport, huge line. I arrived at 12:45pm.
