Did you send to LA or NY?

LA, been there for a week, while anxious, I will start to get worried if I dont get it back in 2 weeks.
If anyone here gets their passport back or their tracking code activated, share your timelines as well

Thanks for the update.. Can you please confirm whether LA office received your passport on 4/8 or 4/16? I think I read in another thread where you mentioned they received it on 4/8.

I fax them a letter and begging them to return my passport fast. I don't know if it will help, but just try all what I can do, and pray.
