*** A variant of a prohibited word has been removed from the original post. *** My own Congressman's office says that expedited passport renewals are taking 7 to 9 weeks, and that standard renewals are taking from 10 to 12 weeks. If this is true, you should be getting yours very soon. Contact your Congressman's office so that they can inquire on your behalf and stick a pin into the appropriate parties.

MasterCarrot, you can trust jan22 wholeheartedly regarding anything consular-related. (He has been awarded two VJ Award Badges just for his responses here.) Keep us all closely apprised of everything that happens.

Well, someone here who's really knowledgeable may come along to help. Have you sought intercession from your Congressman's or Senator's office? If not yet, there's a release form on their websites for you to complete, giving them permission to inquire on your behalf. It's way past my bedtime here, so I'll be back tomorrow.

This is traumatic, undoubtedly. It's also a first that I've heard of. Have faith, because it will all work out.

It is gone from your sentence, si and see and hee hee hee D ma'am! We had to listen to the Principalette yak, then to the PTO lady doing her shameless solicitation of funds, and then the propaganda about the skool bond issue on the ballot this Manyvember, shut up man. We had only Many (2+2+2+1) minutes with each teechur, OK but not quite long enough man. And P-Math training is obviously Many times better in the US than in Canada, si and eh and D ma'am! Month and date precised, and obviously skool can't start a minute too soon, see and si and D ma'am! Too much necking with Hillbilly, bad D ma'am! Do not irk, toy with, or displease the fearsome Ontarklar, no man! If anyone is wondering, we are still up because our stomach went out twice, oof man!

At least you're able to provide what they want, albeit with difficulty. Be thankful that you're not being asked to return multiple times as though you're a criminal who's been ordered to return stolen goods. This really has happened.
