Made the giant mistake of not doing expedited from the start!! Kicking myself

3/29/23 Application mailed
4/3/23 Application Received (location 62)

Has been "in process" since then.

Paid for expedited at the end of May, but credit card hasn't been charged so far.

6/11/23 Filled out paperwork to Senator Feinstein's office

Hoping we don't need to scramble to find an in person appointment. Flight is 7/3/23.

Such a demoralizing and absurdly inefficient process to put so many Americans through.....The whole "can't make an appointment until flight is 5 days away" mumbo jumbo seems especially ridiculous.

Seems like mostly negative buzz on locator 62?
Anybody else not have the expedited fee charged on credit card? They told me I will have the passport within 27 business days of paying expedited fee. What they didn't tell me is they won't charge my card for the fee!
