re: The Epitome of Fed Gov Inefficiency/Incompetence ?

i had a similar experience. myself, my wife (no pics), and my two children all applied for passports at the post office the same day. My wife and I were renewals and my kids were new applications. We planned accordingly to allow enough time per their time frames. I received mine with a few weeks. My wife received hers in a month or so. Both kids took months. We ended up cancelling our trip due to the covid test requirements but we received the kids within days of leaving for our trip if we would have gone.

i tried calling and received no help. i did call my local congressman and they were very friendly but in the end were no help.

sorry man I'm no help but know the government is useless.
