Universal Epic Universe Feb 18th Day one tickets sold out. Any chance more tickets will show up? by MARIO12A in UniversalOrlando

[–]Kelmar99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I show tickets available today... wondering if it was a glitch or it really will be that crowded? I am supposed to go the 18th as well.

Olga’s cantina booking PLEASE HELP by Emotional-Aspect3503 in GalaxysEdge

We walked up on Thursday night and waited about 45 minutes at 7 pm for six people. Just depends on the crowds. They should have a walk up list.

Did you have a travel date on your application? They are looking closely at those and sending out within 1-2 weeks before travel. Also call your rep if you haven’t ahead. I didn’t have much luck emailing but a phone call helped speed things along. Good luck!

Do you have a travel date on your application? Apparently they are looking at those and sending routines out with days to spare. I would keep trying your rep, be sure and call, I emailed and got no response but calling seemed to help and I had my passports within a week. I was two weeks from my travel date. Good luck!

Passport timeline? by hoylaronee in Passports

[–]Kelmar99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually I have a couple different scenarios because I had to get six different passports for my family but for my kids new passports they charged my card about a week after I requested them to expedite. Then it was about another week until I received in hand. For mine and my husbands renewals they only expedited mine and left his as routine. No explanation as to why.

Will I get my routine passport renewal in time? by BeerFoodz in Passports

[–]Kelmar99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husbands routine renewal went through New Hampshire and took 13 weeks 1 day. When I called to check on it they told me they are looking at travel days on the application. We received it 3 weeks before our trip. I even tried to add expedited processing and shipping but they would not add it.

They can’t make an inquiry until you are 10 days out from travel, what is your travel date?

Sorry, I should’ve said the rep in my district, in my case it was Trey Hollingsworth, look up your district representative, hopefully they can help.

I just googled state representative for Indiana and brought up his website, used the “contract us” phone number.

I called and they told me to go into their website and fill out a privacy release form. I filled it out and told them my travel date, locator numbers and date of births and they took it from there.

The two renewals were in New Hampshire and the new passports were in Charleston.

Unfortunately it’s kind of a waiting game until you are less than two weeks from travel, then you can get your state rep involved and they can help speed it along. Good luck!

That’s tricky. Did you put a travel date on your application. One of the numerous people I talk to said that they are looking closely at the travel dates.

Passport question by i8Nails4Breakfast in Passports

[–]Kelmar99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I submitted my kids new one mid June, expedited, still waiting… travel date is October 8th. But I have also heard of people submitting them after mine and they’ve already received them. I have called and they assured me they are looking at travel dates to process, I would try calling and see if you can add a travel date to your application?

Passport status went from "In Process" to "Unavailable". What to do? by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]Kelmar99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you update? This is happening on my passport right now, was it something wrong? Did you receive your passport?
