UPS overnight: 3/4 (Printed 3/3 and shipped 4pm CST same day - arrived at my local UPS in Utah 15 hours later. Super relieved now that I'm back from the trip. I contacted my local USPS post office in advance and was able to pick that one up at 6am and the UPS overnight I asked to hold at the local office so I could pick it up at 8:30am and leave for a flight at 11am. Sooo yeah, stomach has been in knots for days and I just need this nightmare to be over.īoth the USPS (first issued) and the UPS overnight arrived the same morning, unfortunately a day later than my original flight. but I called the passport agency and told them I'm keeping the first passport to arrive and they seemed okay with that. Side note: I was told by the Senators office that my first issued passport arriving tomorrow is 'void' because they already approved the reissue.

It's been a hell of a week trying to make this happen. I've contacted my local post office and expect to pick it up at 6:30am before my 9:30am flight. Had a few conversations already with the senators office already, they really do have power to call agencies directly and get things moving so jump on that from the beginning! That said, my original passport JUST updated tracking and it's arrived in my state (Utah), expecting it tomorrow. Update only a couple hours after writing this post: Hoping they can help get something quick! Finally decided to reach out to the Senator's office for assistance with federal agencies and got a call back within 5 min. Fast forward to Wednesday (today) had to cancel flights and ask for flexibility on the reservation (still fighting that battle) and have a wedding to get to on Saturday. Still have one passport pending in the mail, so I haven't lost all hope at this point. I sat in a FedEx office parking lot for 3 hours waiting on hold and then the passport agency to call back and finally got the correct fax number and sent the documents, but now it was too late in the day to print and send. Tried to resolve with USPS and Passport agency to no avail - tried to get a reissue on Monday for overnight, got a reply from the agency on Tuesday around noon to send from DS-86 and they gave me the wrong fax number.

Supposed to arrive 2/26, got hit with 'In Transit, Arriving late' (stuck in Arkansas - working through the New Orleans passport agency) Sharing my timeline, I missed my flight out of the country today because no passport arrived :( So much anxiety lifted in 24 hours! Contact your senators they will help! I will be speaking highly of Tammy Duckworth the rest of my life! (Even though I already did vote for her.) Received a call from the passport agency Wednesday afternoon with request of overnight shipping payment. Contacted my state senator’s office (Tammy Duckworth) on Tuesday night. I refreshed the website many times to see if any appointments became available in any nearby cities (Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis) with no luck.įinally thought of the idea to check Reddit and found this thread. They were no help on the phone and there are no emergency appointments ANYWHERE in the country until 3/5. Was told they didn’t receive my application until 2/10 and that’s when the 4-6 weeks period starts. Last week it was getting close to the end of the 4-6 week window so I contacted the agency. Sent renewal application from post office on 1/14 with expedited service and travel date listed as 2/27. if you need your passport, who would have thought that Congress would be your savior! At least now we know that our tax payer dollars go towards something positive in Congress 😂 Sent it out via email.Ĥ/23 5:00pm - Nadler’s office confirmed receipt of privacy release and sent the agency an inquiry.Ĥ/26 11:00am - Passport Agency called asking for an overnight shipping payment of $17.Ĥ/26 2:00pm - Status changed to shipped and approved! Asked for privacy release to be completed. Found this timing to be super coincidental considering I had just contacted the senators office earlier.Ĥ/23 12:00pm - Nadler’s office reached out saying they would help. Also contacted Nadler’s office.Ĥ/20 5:00pm - Status changed to “in processing”. Paid for expedited.Ĥ/20 12:00pm - Sent out privacy release forms and contacted Senator Gillibrand’s office. Want to keep this thread alive as well so here is my updates:Ĥ/12 - Applied for New Passport in Long Island, NY.
