Kent's US passport arrived the day before yesterday. Processing for his took just a little more than 3 weeks from the time he dropped off the application.
Lucky him. We got notices in the mail last Friday -- 5 weeks after we had sent in our applications, and four weeks after they had cashed our checks -- that the computer-printed digital-camera photos we'd sent weren't good enough (nice of the website to have mentioned that this would be the case, huh?). When I called the 877 number to find out how far along this meant we were in the process, I was told to expect it to take another 20 business days(!) unless we sent them an additional $60 each to convert the applications to "expedited", which we did becuase we're supposed to leave on March 1. I am so not pleased with the US passport office.
