On Aug 26th after my oath ceremony I applied for my passport. I have travel plans in Oct, so I didnt think i needed premium processing.

The agent at the post office told me reg sercive is 4-6 weeks, premium is 2-3 wks. I declined the premium service as $100 for regular processing is not at all cheap.

Now in exactly two week later I have my passpot in hand. Is this a lucky break or are we being misled into taking the more expensive option?

Chime in with your thoughts/experience please.

Thanks


PS. My timeline for the Philly office in on the tracker page, for those who are applying there.
