Problems with passport

User Avatar
mspatterson
I live out of Indianapolis, IN and have never traveled outside of the U.S, well with that being said I almost forgot to purchase a passport. It takes 4-6 weeks to receive it regular mail and 2-3 weeks if I pay an extra 60 to get it express. Again I'm scheduled 10/10 for surgery and will need to arrive in DR by 10/9, so now I have to travel to Chicago tomorrow to get one. (It's only 3 hours away) but I can receive it same day. Once I get that I will feel a lot better.

Thank you! She seems very professional, did you travel alone? I keep hearing horror stories about how I shouldn't travel alone.

Hi I had a similar problem once with my passport... if you apply for it in person you can actually wait and receive it the same day (at an extra cost) if you have proof that ur traveling within 2 wks... good luck in ur journey... I'll be in dr on 11/13 soooo nervous

Thank you! Don't be nervous I mean I can't lie I am a little nervous myself but I have faith. I hope you follow my journey. From the day I head out till the day I come back home I will be posting before and after pics, my personal opinion about my stay and how I feel about the staff. I will be honest! But so far I haven't really heard anything bad. I will be traveling alone that is the only thing I'm afraid of.
