Ugh.... Got a Christmas-time trip to Dubai set up with my family -- then I notice my daughter will only have 4 months of validity left on her passport...
Luckily I snagged an appointment at an acceptance facility tomorrow for her, will expedite and pay for express mail. 10 weeks from tomorrow is the day after our outbound flight so hoping for a little luck. I'll report my times here so you get a data point.
