rcixfan5 Posted August 10, 2020 #131 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Do they automatically send back the old cancelled passports or do you need to request that somehow? This is my first renewal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njkruzer Posted August 11, 2020 #140 Share Posted August 11, 2020 It seems the backlog is being handled separately from those that were sent in recently. We know dh's arrived in Nashville distribution center this morning. Now they have to figure out how to deliver it ( earlier this summer I had a package that seemed to walk around town before they delivered it!) so now 23 wait.

Ashland Posted August 18, 2020 #144 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I can't tell you how many emails I've received that Global Entry is available for appointments when coming in from a flight. That doesn't help me at all. Waiting for appointments to be open to book for LAX after Sept 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCMtnBoys Posted August 18, 2020 #145 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Received my renewed passport today, nearly 5 months after I mailed it to the Philadelphia location. Return address on the packaging said it came from the Charleston, SC location. But interestingly enough, when I checked the tracking information online after I initially got notification that it shipped, the first entry said this: August 14, 2020, 6:21 pmAccepted at USPS Origin FacilityHOT SPRINGS NATIONAL PARK, AR 71913 which I thought was strange since I mailed my stuff to Philadelphia. And why would my renewal be coming from a National Park. And today I see the return address on the packaging said Charleston, SC. Perhaps they're electronically moving application information between facilities for faster processing while some of the facilities are not yet fully operational.

bigrednole Posted August 18, 2020 #147 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Status Update We applied for new passports on March 26, checks cashed March 30. I just received an email from the Passport Agency that our passports are "In Process" Really?!?!?!?

After receipt they disburse the applications to various offices. The ones that are currently being sent in for renewal are coming back in about 3-4 weeks. Dh sent his Philadelphia and the new one came from Tuscon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it was because we said we have a resort stay planned in late Sept. (that we still hope to go to!)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
