After USPS lost my passport sent express mail for a week.
It went in process 3/8.
4/19 contacted congressman
4/24 contacted passport information told to call back for appointment next day (5 days from travel)
4/25 contacted passport information and laughed at for asking for appointment before 5/2 (my flight) offered appointment 5/8.
4/25 contacted congressman and given appointment 4/26 for one day service
4/26 spent all day dealing with regional office and finally given passport. Thankful for the easy to deal with helpful people at agency. Was told my passport had not been touched until this morning. So it was just sitting in the system. Paid for expedited at sending and 2 day service.
