I'm currently trapped in the U.S. waiting for my passport renewal, which currently takes 3-4 months. Since you have to mail in your existing passport to get your passport renewed, I literally have no passport until the new one arrives in the mail. People who applied for their new passports in March are only now getting their new passports in the mail today. I know someone will say "oh you shouldn't be traveling anyways". I don't live in the U.S. anymore, I live abroad. I only returned to the U.S. because I had hit my visa limit abroad, and thought I could get my passport renewed within a reasonable time frame in the U.S. (max 1 month). How stupid of me to assume my country took passport processing seriously and with any sense of urgency.
