I don't know how long you have until your trip, but if it's less than 6-8 weeks, you may want to look into a company that expedites passports. It'll cost probably $150-$200 but that sure beats not getting your passport in time. Most people are getting them fairly quickly but there's no guarantee.

Go to CVS and have your passport picture taken for less than $8.. The post office will try and screw you for more $$ if they take the pic.

always get an extra copy of the papers.....in case you screw up. Any sort of "mistake" and you will have to wait another 6-10 weeks and pay money again. Also, I think you have to do it in either black or blue ink.......read EVERYTHING very carefully.

I got mine at the PO for less than $200 in 2007. Expedited, and received it in 4 days.

Thanks guys! The CVS tip was spot on. $93.31 to expedite. Now I am just holding my breath. When I get the passport, my woman knows all the tricks on expediting travel visas. Looks like this trip is gonna happen...incredibly nervous...but, I am sure I will blend right in.
