Interesting... it's now been 6 weeks since we sent our kids' expedited renewals in, and they haven't even been entered into the system yet, despite USPS confirmation of delivery 5 weeks and 3 days ago. Does this mean they're lost somewhere? What recourse do we have? My passport renewal that was sent the same day is already approved. I can't get any information from anyone or follow up because we don't have the application numbers, since they haven't been entered into the system yet.
