This father missed his daughter’s wedding — thanks to passport delays.
AdvertisementThe Post’s Andrea Sachs that they’re getting a surge of applications — about 400,000 a week in June. They’re on track to process 2 million more passports than they did in 2017, which had been the previous record.
“In addition to costly delays, many constituents who filed to renew their passports online are receiving little to no information on the progress being made with applications regardless of how well in advance of planned travel their requests were filed, leaving many in limbo waiting for their documents,” Warner said then, in aRouse went to the post office to submit his application three months before the wedding. He wasn’t taking any chances.
“I started getting worried when all of them got their passports, but I didn’t,” Rouse said. “I started calling on it, every day. I told them, ‘this is my daughter’s wedding.’ They took the details and said they would get back to me.”She had just moved into a management role at the lab where she had been an associate scientist, so she had a lot to juggle. Plus all the pesky wedding details — like, should she get pretty, painful wedding shoes or just go barefoot in the sand — were there. .
I’ve been there. When I was scrambling to get my son’s expired passport renewed before a trip to see family abroad, the State Department offered me an appointment in New Mexico, the day before our travel. There was just no way we could swing it. So like Rouse, I kept calling. I got lucky, an appointment in D.C. opened up just as I was on the line during my seventh call of the day.
