Ana, I am in the same process, in that case should I process the extension, pay $ 100 more and get the idea that I gave you $ 200?
I went to my appointment for a new passport in July 2017. Still nothing. And when I went to ask, they told me that they have not received a new passport since May 2016. Long story short, it is not for them, it is the saime, and the recommendation if you need it is the extension. Which they say takes about 1 month. Cost $ 100. They say they give you back the 80s showing the ticket they give you there in the office that you went to your appointment for a new passport some time ago and that they took your data. Better use Firefox as a browser to request the passport extension and do it between 5pm and 5am. It is the info that I handle so far.
