So on 3/20 we applied for a passport renewal online for my husband. Took picture and uploaded it- super easy. Definitely easier to apply on a computer than cell phone. Today new passport arrived!!! Now no excuse why we can’t go back!!!! πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Kim--We both applied on 3/24. I received my passport on 3/31! Eric has yet to hear back from them. I guess they are looking at his terrorist ties!! [just kidding!!}

If you have Global Entry be sure and sync your GE to the new passport number.

So in all of our passport days, re-entry to the country has been fairly painless but there was one time in 2003 on our first return trip - I think it was when we could still use birth certificates - that the immigration officer held us up for about twenty minutes, in Phil, because he said another guy with my name but who was from Arizona made focused screening necessary - then when the officer resumed with us and it was May 2003 mind you and only 20 months after 9/11 - he asked if we heard the Red Sox just signed David Ortiz to a contract extension (it was his very first (of an illustrious career) year on the team and just had a blistering April hitting the baseball) - all I could think at the time was it was like a WW2 movie where the English speaking Germans masquerading as American were being screened by the American guards by asking about their baseball knowledge to verify their authenticity) seems funny now
But since then it has been an absolute breeze at least in Boston - Atlanta, and New York not so much but just because of long lines.

We too just experience painless entry in Boston last Saturday. Year before there were long lines. Hubby was in a wheelchair and the agent at the DIPLOMAT kiosk waive the chair pusher over. I could feel the stares at my back from others in those long lines. Either they were upset or wondering who this diplomat was lol.

I can't remember but I believe you have to go into your GE account profile and update with new Passport number. It was a while back when i did it.
