When applied was told expedited passport would arrive in up to 4 weeks.
It seems multiple people are giving out different info and it’s extremely confusing!
Contacted state senate offices 7/10/21
Got a call from the case worker today and he mentioned the passport is in New Orleans (Post Office said it would be in Philadelphia)
The case worker said he will call back after attempting to put a rush on the passport
Has anyone else experienced their passport coming from New Orleans? Our travel date is 7/24/21 and my nerves are completely SHOT. I know some offices are more swamped than others and that some work faster than others so anything you all know, please share!
UPDATE!
Both of our State Senators offices did as promised. The first one requested a rush in the inquiry and the second Senator was able to email me last night with an update which said the passport would be mailed no later than today. We ended up cancelling our trip due to the uncertainty of when the passport would arrive and to get the full refund and be able to rebook for next month. I kept checking the site only for the status to still say “processing”. Guess what popped up in the mail today? Yep, the passport 😒 Status is still at processing. Our trip was supposed to be 7/24 so in all that was about 5 weeks for us which isn’t bad. Wish the status system was accurate.
Good luck all!
