Question

Any body have luck getting a passport through their senator?

Answer 1

actually, I'm traveling July 3rd and paid for expedited service at the end of May (have not received passport & says processing on travel.state.gov still).  I contacted my local Congressman yesterday, and this morning got a call from his office saying that they have been in touch with the passport agency and that they pulled my file and I should have my passport by Friday.  I do not have a way to verify this yet, but I hope it happens.  I'll let you know if I get it by Friday.

Answer 2

You are best paying the expedited costs to get a passport.  We recently applied (3 weeks ago) for my son's passport and we got it back in 9 days.

Sure, it cost an extra $70.00 or so, but well worth it considering the speed with which we got it.

Answer 3

how long has it been since you applied ?
