Another follow up to my review dated 3/15/23. We continue to wait, now 14 weeks into our on- line passport renewal. We paid to expedite and when that fell through we submitted the on line request for a refund at least 6 weeks ago. We still can not get anyone to assist us via email or phone. Our on-line status continues to say "in process" as it has since DECEMBER 2022. We got a technician on the phone this morning who wouldn't even look up our application. He told us repeatedly, if the status on our on-line account says "in process," everything must be ok. SERIOUSLY? ITS BEEN SINCE DECEMBER. We have no idea what is going on, we lost money on travel in March and we are being PREVENTED from any travel because absolutely no-one is willing to type in our application and request ID numbers and see what happened with our application. We have not received any emails or notifications that anything is wrong but still can't get answers. However, their website continues to advertise both routine and expedited passport processing times less than what we have already waited.

Update from my review of February 22nd. Today is March 4,2023 and we still continue to wait for my husband's passport this agency received in December 2020. Our on line status continues to say, "processing." We have not been able to reach customer service by phone or email. The website continues to advertise a 3 to 5 week return on expedited renewal applications. If that were the case, we would have received my husband's weeks ago...

FRAUDULENT ONLINE PASSPORT SERVICES

We submitted a passport renewal on line in December. We paid the renewal fees and the fees to expedite the process. This agency immediately charged our credit card and as of today (February 22,2023) we still do not have a passport and our travel is in 2 weeks. Currently, this agency continues to advertise a passport turnaround of 35 business days when you pay to expedite. This is FRAUD. Beware of this on line scam. Read the reviews on Pilot, Facebook and Instagram. They are all saying the same thing. Customer service is an absolute nightmare to speak with. They are all unprofessional, disrespectful and clearly have no idea what they are doing. They just keep passing you around and the end result is the same. They just redirect you back to your on line application and to keep checking the status. All our status continues to say is "processing." This is just another example of disgruntled government employees who claim to be overworked and underpaid who are angry they had a pilot program shoved down their throats. They don't want the program to work and obviously it doesn't. Now we are out passport fees, expedition fees and vacation money AND we don't have a passport. Who knows if and when one will be produced. Do not waste your time with this fraudulent and illegitimate on line service. You will only lose money you will never be able to recoup.
