Several years ago we had a friend who was planning on visiting a missionary in Africa, and he applied for his passport well in advance of his planned date of departure. Everything was going smoothly, and he was simply waiting for his passport to arrive in the mail. There was plenty of time left, so when the passport didn't arrive, he was not real worried. After what seemed like an unreasonable amount of wait time, he tried finding out what was going on. Of course as often happens in a situation like this, he ended up with no answers. Again back to the endless waiting! It took (what seemed like) forever, but his passport finally did arrive-I believe only the week before he was supposed to leave the country!
This (among other stories I've heard or read) is why I decided that if I do get my passport, I will be using a service that offers rush or same-day passports! From a company who will actually answer your questions if you have any, and who actually cares about making sure you have what you need when you need it. That is the kind of company I will be getting my passport through if and when the time comes that I need one!
