Optional Comments:
My online information – status said “in processing” for 9 weeks – and on the last week – I called my US Representative’s office and they called the passport agency. Then suddenly my status was “shipped” – it never even said approved. It was 10 weeks for me to get my passport – much longer than the time reported here.
