Optional Comments:
Received passport after multiple calls to the 1 800#, two urgent emails were sent to my locator agency (9 and 12 Jun). Contacted my congressman and senator, no help! Passport was finally shipped after I was able to place call directly to my locator agency on Friday 16 Jun at 1545. The nice lady pulled my daughter’s passport and assured me that I will have the passport by Wed 21 Jun and I did. Her travel date was 22 Jun. Very stressful!

I applied early and didn’t expedite because maximum processing time was 13weeks. But its been 15weeks now and nothing has changed. We are flying on August 2nd and I’m having anxiety and prepare for the worse to make an appointment to apply again in agency 2weeks before our flight.
