Hello everyone waiting for their passport! This forum was a big help for me, so I just wanted to wrap up my story, in case it helps others.
I just got an email notification tonight that my passport was approved and will arrive to me on Friday. (Today is Tuesday, but really late Tuesday, so it’ll be 3 actual days).
The online status said they received my stuff on May 18, so today marks exactly 4 weeks. It’ll be in hand after 4 weeks and 3 days. It was expedited.
I was worried they wouldn’t update the status or send me an email until after I got it back, but I did in fact get the email alert, and the website status has been updated to “Approved” with the expected receive date.
Good luck to everyone waiting, and searching for answers. The wait is brutal. I know I got lucky, and I hope you all do, too.
Thanks for updating, NYCCHAP. Good information. I’m sorry you missed your flights.
Anyone tracking your passport: is the website accurate? Or has anyone gotten their passport mailed to them while it still says “in process” online? I don’t know if I should bother checking.
The only thing that would make that timeframe make sense is if they are counting people who get a walk in appointment and get their passport in no time. If they’re doing that, I hope they stop so we can see a more realistic number.
My expiated passport arrived in their system May 18, and it still says “in progress” so 24 days and counting.
