Hi,
This is cross-posted from the general board- figured I might get a better response here. My file was transferred to NYC, so I'm assuming that's where the passport request will come from. Just wondering if, when I get the request, I can hand-deliver my passport. I frequently need to travel back and forth between the States and Canada, and it would be a major inconvenience to be without a passport for weeks on end, if I have to mail it in.

Also, how fast is the turnaround if I hand deliver it (i.e. can someone stamp it that day? Or do I drop it off and they mail it back?).

Thanks,

Alex

You cannot have your passport hand-delivered. It has to be sent through post mail - for NYC office.

Hi,

I got the request from New York for passport. Only method of getting passport stamped is mail/courier and they only mail it back to USA Canada Bermuda.

I am currently in UK so have been looking into this. I think i will have to fly to Canada and then mail to New York and wait for 30 business days for them to send it back.

Hope this is of some use,


T

You can have some friends here in US/Can do it for you. I believe there are kinds of service which handle those important documents for you :).

Can you recommend any good company in the USA specialize in visa / passports services?

I found some on Google. But if you could give me the name of one that you used?
