Does anyone know how to follow up on a passport renewal app? We need R's passport back?

They should return your old passport and send you a new one. The two will be sent separately. I would check the status of your application online here; travel.state.gov/passport/get/status/sta... and then call the passport agency if it appears your should have received your passport or if there is a problem.

Contact numbers: travel.state.gov/passport/about/npic/npi... I realize this reply is late and appologize, but hey my husband waiting over 6 months for his passport it could still be useful information to you. :).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
