So I went and got my passport picture taken and filed my application! In my eyes that makes it official! Yay for moving in a positive direction!!!

Please do not spread false information about passports. For most questions you can go to www.travel.state.gov. You can also call any land port of entry or airport to talk with a Customs and Border Protection Officer.

I expedited mine and just received it 16 days later.

I am leaving on May 26 and still don't have the passport. My BC and DL match with the same name. My friend that is going with me also doesn't have a passport.

Ginny, I guess that might work...I've just heard horror stories about people being delayed coming back over the border and missing their flights. Hopefully it works out

Hey did you have any issues getting abck in the US with ur BC and DL??

What I was told when I got my passport is that they cant keep you from reentering if you're a citizen...but that it can cause a delay of up to 24 hours if you dont. She said usually the wait is minimal...but no guarantees.

Thanks...
