Starting to get a little anxious, though still am pretty hopeful that our trip will go forward.

We have a tour of Greece planned with our air flights leaving on August 12. We just passed the 30 day window to cancel and get a full credit of over $4,000 for each of the two of us.

The trip is three weeks from this coming Thursday. Applied June 15. It was put into processing very quickly:

Application Status: In Process

The U.S. Department of State has received your application for your passport book and card on 06/18/2021. We're now reviewing your application and supporting documents.

You requested expedited service when you applied, which we are currently processing within 6 weeks. Our processing times do not include mailing times, which could add 6 weeks to the door-to-door time.

Your application locator number is XXXXXXX.

Contacted my representative and his staff is working on it. The contact person has been great. Apparently he had to contact them three times as they sent a form letter saying that I had opted for regular processing instead of expedited. The website always showed expedited and I had sent copies of that along with my airplane tickets showing the needed date to the representative.

I had not paid for overnight but two days ago contacted them and filled out the form requesting that they charge me the $18 and overnight.

Six weeks that they say they are processing by will be the 30th of this month. So like I said I feel somewhat optimistic, but will be anxious until the passport is in my hands. Just seeing it go from processing to approved would be wonderful. I check several times a day.
