Doxory?

photon has decided Passport still isn't here. I expedited it two ways... five weeks ago. The process was supposed to take three weeks, tops. I called them two weeks ago and they said it should have been here on Tuesday.

Passport, FTW. I decided not to fly to Houston or Denver and try to get one in person, banking on the passport showing up on Saturday. I called my congresswoman who was able to poke around in the bureaucratic nightmare of the State Department and find out where my passport was. Fortunately, the person I'm flying with to Chile lives near DC and was able to go to the DC passport agency in person and recuse my passport from its state of "being processed." I have have my passport, I'm checked in at the airport, and am ready to flee the country in the name of science.

Fly to Houston and go to the regional passport office in person.

My choice: Hope it'll show up later today or tomorrow and keep bugging them over the phone?

lakmiseiru: Keep bugging them on the phone, and ask for a refund of your expedite charge. If necessary, poke your local elected official for help.

seph: Call and ask them.
kyrandil: Please reask and tell us what the need-it-by horizon is.
erin: If you haven't already, try calling your senator. If you do go to Houston, bring your travel itinerary (and a copy of the letter from the Senator).
jrockway: Neither option sounds better to me. I think you are screwed.

If you make a stupid choice because a website tells you to, it's your own damn fault.
