I heard of someone driving to El Paso and getting theirs within a few days.

Update: I finally got a hold of someone from the passport federal agency. He's good to go in May! Yay! The wording was confusing but the passport can't expire in six months. I now hope he receives it within 6 weeks!

We just got passports renewed and it took 4 weeks. Not sure if it takes longer for a new passport.

Wow, never heard of a passport in a day, but I guess there has to be a way, if not more expensive....

Ah, that's good news! What an adventure.
