I applied for my passport on 4-6-07 and I am leaving for mexico in less than 2 wks!? |
Travel Info I went to check the status of my app online and it says that my application can't be found! So I don't even have proof that I've applied. I have the cancelled checks but I took them to the post office where I applied and they didn't even care. I don't know what to do!!! Any advice? I've tried calling the passport people and they never answer! Travel Tips You should have a RECEIPT for your passport application. Go to the website below. Scroll down to the section titled "How does this affect me?" Read and follow the instructions there precisely to get a passport waiver. This should solve your problem. Hope this all works out well for you. Source(s): http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbp... Other Travel Tips You're in luck. The need to have a passport to return from Mexico has just been put on hold. Check on the US Travel site. It will give the specifics. You might also want to check with your travel agent. They should know the specific rules for your particular travels. http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbp... Call your congressman's office and get them to help with a phone call. U.S. citizens have delayed and canceled trips to Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean because they can't get passports fast enough. As a result members of the U.S. Congress voted 379-45 on Friday to delay the passport requirement until June of 2009. I applied 3/10, and my passports arrived 6/6. My flight was 6/7. We had to call MULTIPLE times to get through, just dial over and over and over... we spoke with three different agents... it was a sincere pain. Just keep calling. Also you can email them to request the status. I understand they've temporarily lifted the need for passports into Mexico, but I'd definately call to check with the passport people. If you applied at the post office, like I did, they should have stamped a copy of proof of application and handed it back to you. You don't have that either? Yikes. Well I have been waiting since March for my childrens passports. Depends on where you live but call in the early morning to the passport office. You have to be VERY persistent keep calling and calling..It took me about 20+ times to get through...My childrens info was just posted in the website ..It was a month after they cashed my check to see my kids info put into the system.. I still havent gotten ther passports..I am leaving next week.... |
