Re: Passport Delays
The first time they had problems with the payment so they sent it back to me and asked for a money order. I sent that to them on the 9th November and got my new passport back yesterday 8th December. Have you tried calling Careline?

Re: Passport Delays
After reading through the various posts, I'm in two minds about calling them. I can't afford to spend $100+ if I don't get sone worthwhile information. Did you call them? How was your experience?

Re: Passport Delays
I have called a few times and it never lasts more than 6 mins. I call the UK number rather than the 900 number. You are connected to an agent almost immediately, and it is worth it if you have concerns or questions. They will ask you for your credit card number immediately, and then they will answer any questions about your passport application status.

Re: Passport Delays
Costs about $5-6 a call. Like Wooglin said they answer quickly and the calls only take 5-6 minutes.

Umm... no, it isn't. There isn't a UK Embassy for North America. The UK Embassy for the US is in Washington DC. The UK Embassy for Canada is in Ottawa. The UK Embassy for Mexico is in Mexico City.

Re: Passport Delays
And for Canada, it is not called the British Embassy, but rather, the British High Commission. Guess it must be a Commonwealth thing.

My experience would have been a very nervous one had I not contacted Dean or called careline. I strongly suggest that anyone who has been waiting for 10 business days or more to contact either for help. They were very timely, polite, and sorted out my problem with a great degree of professionalism. Thank you! James |

Re: Passport Delays
I am getting so angry. I called Careline and apparently they have not even looked at the application yet. Apparently there are 4 stages or so that the Passport goes through and mine is apparently "frozen" or stuck at stage one. I don't mind if the application is at least moving along, but it looks like it has not even been touched. Good god this is so frustrating. I can't even talk to an official in Washington. They have put another escalation through to speed things up, and I am expecting a call or e-mail from them shortly...I hope.
