I realized recently that I didn’t update the passport blog, which is important because I should share good news as well as the bad!

If you don’t know and want to know, here are the first two (yes TWO) blogs on passports!

Thankfully there isn’t much to say for this update other than – I have it! I spoke with the Embassy on a Monday afternoon and they confirmed they had the paperwork. The following Tuesday I received an email that my passport had arrived in Belgium, and by Thursday, it was in my mailbox (with my $110 mail order).

Only a week! Hallelujah!

Of note, I did speak with some sort of complaint supervisor about my incident. As a reminder, my incident happened on a Monday. Complaint filed Tuesday. He called Friday and tried to “help” me. By that point, though, I had already taken care of everything by myself. He proceeded with some instructions for when I pick up my passport, which I politely declined, and stated I will NOT be picking up my passport from your office. Thanks, though 😜 (insert sarcasm)! Hopefully they got the hint and won’t have any more issues in the future.
