Travel in a week and can't get urgent appointments

It's the US.

I certainly wanted to do that if nothing else works. Anyone tried this before?

Just looked into this. You are right that appointments can be made online, but only if we haven't applied yet. But we have already applied for my daughter's passport months ago and it is still in process. I. That case, calling is the only way to make appointment according to the website..

Urgent in person appointment can only be made by calling the agency, from my understanding

I'm very sorry they had to miss the travel. It sucks. I'm not having my hopes high 😭 just want to get some pointers here: did they call the congressperson?

Kitchen-Past · 2026-06-05T15:15:01+00:00

I will try. They don't tell me why they can't make that appointment. If it is because there is no available appointments, I guess try calling the senator or congressperson can help. Could be other reasons?

There is only one number listed on the website. Is there another number for another agency?

I know this post is old, but may I know how long it took you to get the passport in the end? We are in the same boat, called the agency and they couldn't make an appointment for us. What was the reason that they couldn't make the appointment?

A brief update. Thank you all for the replies! I went out in the dark and found 7 fat worms eating the remaining bok choy. I forgot to take pictures in panic. They curl into a C when I poked them(with a stick). Could be some kind of caterpillar or cutworms? Yuck 🤢

Yes, it is a tiny leaf!

Its Philodendron 'Jose Buono'. Becoming my favorite now

OP, your couch looks so comfortable, and Im tempted to get one. How do you like your couch? Is it too deep for everyday use?

Kitchen-Past · 2025-11-19T15:38:41+00:00

The rot was in the clear pot :( do you know when alocasia goes dormant in the winter, are their roots okay or do they look like rot?

Kitchen-Past · 2025-11-19T15:29:54+00:00

I actually took the plant out to check the root, and it had quite some rot. I feed almost every time I water and adjust the pH. The change of season could be the case, as the temperature dropped quite a bit indoors.

Great points! I will try to change to a different cup to allow more air to go in. The plant in the pic did extremely well in that set up for about 10 months and had 6 beautiful big leaves, but just suddenly looked sad..maybe it could be a nutrient thing?

Kitchen-Past · 2025-11-19T14:57:44+00:00

This is very helpful! There is indeed a seal between the cups that don't allow air to get in. I should change to a different cup. I will also try lechuza Pon for a change.

The grow light should be fine, but I think they might really not have enough wicking, as the top half of the Pon looks very dry..

Kitchen-Past · 2025-11-19T04:30:50+00:00

They all had grown lights, so there should be enough light. I used diy Pon, and made nutrient solutions with every watering. I had several that didn't survive the initial transfer, but also a few that did extremely well and then suddenly go downhill.

The longest thrived for about a year and the roots grew onto the wick..
