    Are you still waiting on your passport? As more cities enter Phase 2, the backlog should start to clear. If you've applied since March and received your passport, I would love to know when you applied, when you got your passport and which city you applied from! Thank you for watching, I hope these updates are somewhat helpful!

      I submitted my passport application in houston, TX and 2 weeks ago after calling national passport center to see what's going on, then I noticed that they're working on my application! What is the deal, is it happening to everyone or some people? As they said my application is with department of state and they're processing and that is only information that I finally got from one of their agents, so It's been almost 4 months that I've been waiting for my passport and still is just nothing...

    I’d also like to share with you that I am likely getting my passport book and/or card according to the USPS this week. But the DOS says I’m getting them closer to the end of the month. I submitted my DS-11 application along with supporting documents on July 14th.

    I sent mine in for renewal in June and am still waiting. I am an English teacher and have a really important job abroad at the end of August. I still have a no-fee passport from my previous work as a Peace Corps Volunteer. It doesn't expire until 2023. I have read that you are not supposed to use no-fee passports for personal use. However, I am very tempted to do it, as I still need to submit for my Business Visa for the country where I will be working. Is it a terrible idea to try to use my no-fee passport to get my 90 day business visa? Then I could use my renewed regular passport to obtain my work visa later on?

    I applied on June 1, 2020 from metro Atlanta, GA and I received mine on August 7, 2020. it was issued on August 4, 2020. I freaked out because when I called on July 24th they couldn’t even find my application initially and they told me to check with the place I had it sent from. Eventually they were able to find it with my full social but that had me concerned that it might take a while longer seeing how difficult it was to find it, even though it had been almost two months. Even when I checked online it said “application not found” (it still says it even after I received it ) . So if anyone is having problems getting info online or with customer service locating you application , don’t get too worked up over it .

      @maneeshamukhi  3 роки тому +1

      Also, yes the processing occurs in different places, sometimes in your state, sometimes elsewhere and I should have clarified this in the video. The reason the agencies in the cities are important is for people with upcoming travel who want in person appointments (if the city is in phase 2, they might be able to get one) to see if they can get a passport before their trips. A lot of people were asking about this - but no guarantee they will get an appt. In Phase 3, people can go to the agencies if let's say they have a trip in 2 days.

      I've been hearing a lot of people getting their passports quite quickly in New York (look at all the comments on the video titled 900K passports issued in July). Don't worry too much about the phases because the passport sometimes doesn't get processed in your home state. So I'd go ahead and apply. The State Department said they expect to get back to normal processing times this Fall and I've been hearing some people get their passports back in 2 weeks! If you look at the comments on the video I mentioned, you'll see all kinds of experiences - some getting back in 2 weeks, some longer, but it does seem like things are getting faster.

      It depends where your passport ended up - even though you are in California, it could have ended up at another agency in a different state (renewal or first time). So it's impossible to say how long. I am seeing people get their passports back in 2 weeks and others in 2 months, there seems to be no pattern to how they are processing. If you call the National Passport Info Center, they may be able to tell you where your passport currently is...

      No it doesn't mean that. Passports aren't always processed at the agencies in your home state. For example, when you renew your passport by mail, you mail it to a Passport Center in Texas or Philadelphia first and sometimes it gets processed there and other times it gets sent to another processing center in another state from there. So it really depends on where your passport finally ends up. Have you already applied?

      Hi there - it doesn't quite work like that.Your passport can end up getting processed anywhere in the country. Just because you submit the application in NY doesn't mean it'll get processed by the NY agency (though it might). If it's a renewal of a passport, you mail it to Texas or Philadelphia first and then it gets sent elsewhere to get processed. So even if you live in a Phase 1 city, your passport may get sent somewhere else. I would just apply from wherever you are.

    I submitted my application on June 10,2020 and still nothing. I recently did look up the status via website and it stated it was "in process". Still frustrated.

      Cynthia Garcia at least yours says “ in proces . I applied June 1 and I called in last week and they told me they never received my application and to contact the place where I submitted the application and online it says application not found . They ended up finding my application when I called back and told them that it’s showing they cashed my money order so they had to have received it . 😒. But seeing how they don’t even have me in the system yet was very deflating .
