  • I recently traveled on a cruise in April 2023 and had to get my passport the day before my cruise. They issued the passport the same day I had the appointment. In this video I go over how I booked my appointment, what I had to do once I got to the passport office in Miami. I also talk about time spent at the office and how much everything cost. If you have any questions just leave a comment down below. Safe travels.

    Thank you soo much for this info! We can't call for the appointment until June 8, but we have already applied and done the whole process at our local clerk of court. The problem is that the passports won't be here on time, and they have our original birth certificates. We didn't realize they would be taking the originals, and can't get my replacement on time since it's from up north. We live in Orlando, so we're really hoping everything works out when we make that 4 hour drive 😏 Thank you!!

      @Erica Valencia I'm actually so upset, because they told me this isn't an option for me since I already applied. It's only for people who will be applying that day and traveling within the 14 days. Now, my only option is to fly to Connecticut where I was born to get my birth certificate that day. I ordered it online on May 30, since the one I had was sent with my passport stuff. I called and they said it would be weeks for it to get here, and I would have to come in person. We ordered my husband's from NY and it came within days, surprisingly. Hopefully it's just CT that's like this. Sooo upsetting... Wishing you luck though :)

    • @floridash
      @floridash Год назад +1

      @Erica Valencia Yes, thank you :) I did do that over the phone, but was told that they would only charge me if it was approved. The guy on the phone was very vague and not very positive that it would even be possible to get in time for my trip next week. He kept repeating that he couldn't guarantee anything, etc... At this point, I'm planning to fly to Connecticut to get my birth certificate in person if I don't hear anything by this Tues. Soo stressful and unnecessary, but it looks like my only option now. Hopefully this comment thread helps someone too. Thank you 💛

    Where is the entrance of the facility? Because I seen a lot of comments saying they lined up at the wrong door 😂, I know it seem so stupid when I don’t have an appt yet worrying about how to get into the facility. 😂 I applied for my passport 4 days after I got naturalized by the USCIS on February. Plane tickets already booked since lasted year. And the travel date is on 07/02/23 , which is not to far from today 😢, haven’t heard anything back from them, and suddenly see this video . I decided to give it a shot by calling them 14 days before the day I need it to flight out. After waiting for hours thinking they would give me an appointment. Instead they told me that I still have to wait for 5 days before leaving to check with them to see is there any appt available, and of course no guarantee that I will have my passport.😂😂😂 On the phone with them right now! Just do everything I can but again it’s also depends on your luck 🍀 . Thank you for sharing this important information and knowledge. Wish all you the luck you needed , and good luck to myself ❤😅

      @@kdcounseling new updates on Monday 06/23 which is 5 more days before my flight on 07/02, I started calling them at 07:57 am in the morning and waited for 1h 15 minutes to talk to agent to see if I could possibly get myself an available appointment for my passport. “Unfortunately” that’s what they all said , there was no appointment available anywhere else. I was so desperate ,and ask them what to do next because I need to catch my flight this Sunday. The only thing they told me was just to keep waiting until the passport agency reached out to me… 😡, and hang up. After, I decided to keep calling them and hoping that someone else had cancelled their appointment ( so that I could have a chance to get my passport) . Started my first call at 8 am and I believed my last call with them ended at 11:30 pm . I spoke to 5 different agents and they all said No. Note: after the 3rd agent I spoke to on the phone said no to me , I was so upset and decided to find a different way. So I did a little research find out who is my local congressman and give them a call to ask for help. After filling out the form for the congressman office I continue calling the passport agency office to see if anyone has canceled their appointment yet. The next day come, a Miami passport office’s called me and ask for my information so that she could print our passport and sent it , so that I will have it the next day which is today, I have received my passport. So my best advise is to find out who is your local congressman / women and ask for help. Never give up hope and keep praying 🙏, wish you all the best.

    My mom needs her passport by 6/24. So can’t start calling for an appointment until 14 days before, right? She is stressing out that she won’t get an appointment in time. My question is…. Is it better for her to apply at the post office now and then when 14 days out, request an expedited appointment? Or if you have already applied, is that when you can’t get an appointment until 5 days out? Also, if we called now for an appointment, do you have to prove travel within 14 days? Thinking she could call now and try to get her appointment booked but then what happens if they have an appointment earlier than the 14 days? Eek! Trying to get all the info to ease my moms nerves. This is a trip of a lifetime for her and she is so worried she won’t have her passport in time. Yes, we should have applied earlier but we had a issue with her birth certificate. That’s a whole other story 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thank you for your video and all your help!

    • @kdcounseling
      @kdcounseling  Год назад +1

      I wouldn’t stress! If this was me knowing what I know now. No, don’t apply at the post office. Or anywhere else because they will take your birth certificate (most likely). Call 14 days before and book a appointment. Don’t worry they will give her an appt. Bring all the paperwork to the appt and you’ll get it done.
