CNMN

Not really surprised, they were pretty much cornered here by most for omitting info and not being fully honest.

Can he enter Mexico ? if yes fly to Tijuana and walk to the border.

Mine was close to 40 days after receiving the passport and that was during 'slow season' in early February so no need to panic just yet.

Mine was awhile, passport agency took at least 30 days to finally send it back to me, if i am not mistaken it was around 40 days after receiving the passport.

It is still on the delivery window, i know it sounds ridiculous but some people waited for 60 days to receive theirs back. Mine took a little over a month to show up. The passport agency actually held my certificate for 30 days even before they mailed it back to me. If it gets lost the passport agency will not cover the loss (it is stated on their website), USPS will not cover it either, you will be on your own for the reissue fee with USCIS. Unless you really need the certificate for special clearance for a federal job a passport is all you really need. even if you petition somebody you don't need the original as long as you made a copy before you mailed it out for the passport.

What was the mailing date on the envelope ? It’s amusing to me that they hold on to the NC for awhile before mailing it back.
