Based on my recent experience, you need an appointment. From what I understand, the appointments for a given date appear in the online booking system at midnight exactly 2 weeks prior to the date. Also, even if you missed grabbing one of those appointments that become available for your date, I recommend checking the online appointment booking system often. Refresh the page every now and then. Maybe someone will cancel theirs. I was able to get my appointment that way.
Hope you were able to get your appointment for your passport Tina! Thank You Yuri your information was very helpful. I was given information to go on at night around 10-10:30 to get access to the appointment portal. Just for the challenge I tried going on during the day numerous times, and it was no opportunities to get connected. I tried tonight around 11 and still nothing. I will try every night. Our trip is in about 4 weeks. I'm a little nervous, because it's paid for. It is also my hope that with things opening up in Philly tomorrow and fully opening up on the 11th of this month, that will provide more availability, staff to accommodate the overflow of people needing appointments! Keeping my chin up! :)
Yuri or Tina, does anyone have the online portal web address to try to get an appt? I was just told to go to Puerto Rico! or Texas! or Colorado. My plane leaves 8/8.
