How long did it take for you to get your passort? Did you pay extra for the quick turn around?

Took me around 5 weeks and I did not pay for expedited.

I expedited, and it took about 2 weeks.

I am sitting in Hospital Alameter right now with a friend who just had surgery, I had it here six months ago. As long as you have proof that you have applied for passport, birth certificate, ID, and social security card you will be okay even if it doesn't get here in time.

I applied in early August and had mine in time for my 8/30/10 surgery. I did not expedite. The summer rush is over, so turnaround is more like 3 wks right now than 4-6 they quote.

I expedited mine and I just recieved it today. I applied on the 10th of September.

Do you need a passport for surgery??

Hi Moni,

If you are going to Mexico for surgery, yes. :laugh0:

That totally makes sense. I thought that after I made the post.:laugh0:

I applied for mine yesterday, the guy at the post office scared shit out of my mom so she made me expedite ours! $200 more. We are leaving for Mexico on the 14th of October! Mom wouldn't trust that the receipt and the other documents would get us back in the country and my husband kept saying that if we got stuck he would leave our asses there! LOL, i said that is ok we have the money you keep the kids!

Oh well, as long as I have it now, I will be ok and mom has on less thing to worry about!

Yeah my aunt and mom both thought I should get my passport just incase something like 911 happened. I didn't want to be held up at the border. So I got mine it was 100 extra to expidite and it's here. A lot of ppl go w/o passport and just use their DL and other documentation.
