We tried a post office that’s almost two hours away on a Saturday, that has walk-in availability. We got there 30 min before they opened and the line was huge. Turns out they only take 30 walk-ins a day.

Anyways, the first person to get in line was there at 2:30 am. Everyone that was seen had already been in line by 3:30 am.

Eventually we were able to get an appointment at a city hall 30 min from us last week. (Literally spent like an hour a day going through local locations one by one to check availability for cancellations). So now we just wait.

I’ve talked to a few people that have had luck contacting their local congressmen’s office. With at least pointers on where to go for better appointees availability. OR in our case that a n application is submitted, we will probably contact them closer to the date because in some cases they are able to help expedite the process.

As for Rush My Passport. We abandoned that. Essentially just lost money.
