Hi Folks

I can see my time line is like many others here, OF course I did not think it would take this long, My application was received in Washington DC on Mar 9

Received Mar 9 2011

Money taken off Visa Card on April 6 2011

And that's all I have to report
It May 25th and I am still patiently waiting.....

What else can I do? (shrugs):huh:

I am too trying to find out info if there is a delay in passport services.

But in these times we live in i guess that the security chks may be taking a lil longer but people are right they did say 4-6 weeks.

My app arrived in washington recieved Apr 4th,payment taken out from visa May 15th / 16th and today is 26th is it much longer? also do they call or email you first? just so i might know if to look out for something hahaha

where are my manners.......good morning everybody.

And good morning back. :)

trinbrit, I received my daughter's 1st passport back 13 weeks from the time I mailed it in. 9 weeks after our credit card had been charged and a week after i put a call into Careline. Careline had said that the peeps in Washington would be contacting me to let me know the status but I never received any call or email.
