Jimmylisa Posted April 21, 2009 #4 Share Posted April 21, 2009 My DH and I applied for ours on the 1st of April and have not received them as of yet. I am looking forward to their arrival, hope they show up this week or next week. This will get me more excited about my upcoming cruise, and having it will ease my mind concerning my baby girl going to China this summer with her college this June.

Mrs.C05 Posted April 21, 2009 #6 Share Posted April 21, 2009 We got ours pretty quickly too, although this was back in 2005. Made things a lot easier having passports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you gone to US Dept. of State website to check your status....I did and it told me that mine had been processed and mailed out...should receive it by 24th, but I got it on 20th.

Jimmylisa Posted April 23, 2009 #8 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I am checking the website tonight, never crossed my mind to check and see. Thanks for insight, will get back to you all later tonight.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmylisa Posted April 23, 2009 #9 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I checked the site tonight and was told that my application was not found. I applied for mine and DH on the 1st of April at our local post office, should I call the local office in Chicago to check on them. I know that I have several months before my cruuise, but I would hate for DH b-Cert. to get lost. It is the original from TENN, and would be hard to get a new one, mine is from Illinios so not to hard. I will check back later this week and see what I can find out.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I checked and it said it was being processed. Today I received an e-mail stating it was completed and being mailed today. If you want, you can call them and they will look it up for you. I am sure everything is fine. But I do understand the feeling when you just do not know. I was getting worried myself. All is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaKrznNubie Posted April 23, 2009 #12 Share Posted April 23, 2009 It almost seems like the passports themselves are getting done quicker than the online information is getting updated ! Go figure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azbaby8062 Posted April 24, 2009 #13 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I had decided to get a passport for my DS 8. They cashed the check 3/24 and we got the passport today. One less thing I had to worry about it, God forbid we need it we have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poohjo Posted April 24, 2009 #15 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I applied for my 15 year old DD's on March 13 and when I check the web site, it says no application found. The check has been cashed. I will wait a couple of weeks and than call if I haven't received it. It is just nerve raking waiting for it, since me and my Dh have ours and the final payment has been done on our cruise. Hopefully we will get it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfgirl67 Posted April 25, 2009 Author #21 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Do you think it takes longer if you write a check vs paying with debit/check card? Does the post office take checks for passport apps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think about that - application fee and processing fee. My DH has to apply for his for our Jamaica trip (flying to all inclusive resort) and I would have sent him with 1 check. thanks so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenadyr Posted April 29, 2009 #25 Share Posted April 29, 2009 My wife and I just got emails today that our passports were mailed out via priority mail. We should see them by thursday/friday which would be a couple days over 3 weeks for us. A lot faster than I believed was possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
