I applied for routine service - sent it in early July.
8/2 - in the system
8/3 - check cashes
9/7 - requested expedited service via email with cc info - never charged and apparently my request to expedite was declined.
And no movement since. It is a 68 code.

I am traveling on 10/18, so I called for an urgent appointment. I now have to fly from CLT-DTW to go to my appointment, since there were no openings in ATL, DC, or PHL. Also my appointment is the morning of 10/18, so after all this I may end up missing my flight. Very frustrating. I'm hoping for the regular process to finally go through. I feel better after reading about some of the faster times - surely they'll get to mine soon!!!
