Update - it has been a little over 2 weeks and nothing has been delivered (I told her to pay for the expedited service). I'm not concerned about anything yet though. I'm sure there is chaos at SoS just like every other department, and whatever paperpushers they still employ are dealing with the usual surge of new passport requests and renewals in advance of the summer travel season.

If it's delivered before the end of April, I'll consider it a normal transaction. She is a natural born citizen with a clean record, so at any other time this should be a rubberstamp.
 
If I'm an American abroad, I'm coming home ASAP. Being jailed in a foreign country is now "Whoopsiedoodles. Guess the State Department can't help you. Best of luck. XOXO"

My daughter's passport took about 2 weeks last month (we also paid for expedited). No issues.
 
My father-in-law, a naturalized Pakistani-American with a TS clearance who worked in defense his whole career, was just in Italy on businesss (for his non-defense retirement career). He was supposed to arrive back in the US on Wednesday, and none of his family has heard from him for 2 days. The only word on our minds was “detention.” My brother in law finally filed a police report yesterday so they would go to his house for a wellness check.

Turns out he’s fine - he just had the brilliant idea of changing phone carriers while he was out of the country, and none of it worked when he got back home, so he was completely off the grid for 2 days. Whew.

It still really brought home -as if any of us needed it - just how insane this administration is that anyone in this position would even have to think about these scenarios. Trump is ruining so many lives, and for absolutely nothing.

It's for something. Stephen Miller and his ilk get to play Schutzstaffel. Trump et al. steal us blind while the droolers cheer. I am very glad your FIL is okay.
