Nothing will spike your blood pressure quite like realizing your passport is expired... a few days…read morebefore an international trip. That was the situation I recently found myself in. While gathering my travel documents, I discovered my passport had expired a few months earlier. Cue the rising panic! Thankfully, living in Indianapolis meant I wasn't completely without options. After a little persistence (and a few rounds battling the automated phone system), I was able to secure an emergency appointment at the Chicago Passport Agency for the next morning. From the very first phone call with the gentleman who scheduled my appointment to the follow-up email and text reminders making sure I had the right documentation ready, the process was surprisingly organized. Once I arrived, the experience continued to impress. The check-in line moved quickly, the security staff were friendly and professional, and the agent who helped me at the window was efficient, kind, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. Government jobs can often be pretty thankless--especially when you're dealing with stressed travelers who are only there because they waited too long (guilty as charged). So the fact that every person I encountered was patient, helpful, and completely on their A-game was genuinely impressive. I certainly don't plan on needing their services again anytime soon, but if you ever find yourself in a passport panic, just show up with the documents they tell you to bring and they'll take care of the rest. Moral of the story: check your passport expiration date before booking an international trip. But if you forget like I did, the team at the Chicago Passport Agency can definitely save your trip and might just make your day!

Even though i am only 24, I have traveled most of my life. Across the USA. Bermuda, Curaçao,…read moreBahamas etc. However it was always my dream to travel to Asia. After graduating from college, I decided to take my dream vacation and go to Vietnam. However since I have never traveled to Asia before, I decided to play it safe and talk with a travel agent. I went to First Class Travel with high hopes but sadly had a very disappointed experience. I wanted to get an idea of how much a flight cost from Chicago to Da Nang. Hilariously, I was informed that it would cost at least $2,500 for a connected flight from Chicago to Seoul and Da Nang. Having again traveled most of my life, I knew that didn't make much sense. While the travel agent said that was my only option. I looked up an American airline flight from Chicago to Da Nang with a 1 hour stop in Tokyo for $1,500. This travel agency wanted me to spend $1,000 MORE. Not only that, they would not have even booked the flight unless I booked a resort or hotel while I was in Da Nang. They also added that it was my fault that the flight options weren't as open because of the dates that I took off. And that if it was them they would ask their employer to just chance the vacation dates that I requested months in advance to make this trip work. They also had to say "Well Vietnam is an odd place to go to. I don't know why you would want to go there." Not only is this inappropriate but it's none of their business why I want to go there. So I left First class travel and did my own research. Bought my own plane ticket $1,000 cheaper and did airbnb and got a lovely beach villa for $25 a day.I had a wonderful time on my dream vacation. My advice. There is not point going to a travel agency. All the information you need is online. If you need advice on travel, ask people who have traveled there. The best way to describe First Class travel is: If you want something done right do it yourself!

Their website breaks down everything you need to send to them and even has video guidance in case the written instructions aren't clear enough. They email you a checklist which I HIGHLY recommend utilizing to make sure that you send in everything and that it is all filled out correctly (if there's anything wrong this will delay you getting your new passport). They also recommend calling their office before mailing your items to triple check that you have everything completed correctly and I would also highly recommend doing this step. I purchased the 10 business day option and from the time I mailed all of my documents I received my new passport in about a week. Obviously you do pay extra for the expedited service, but if you're in a bind and need a new passport ASAP it is totally worth the money.

I'm visiting from out of state so it did mean I was taking a mini vacation ...twice, unless I decided to stay for 5 weekdays as it takes 4 business days to process and then you can pick up on the 4th day. I applied on a Friday and it was ready by the following Wednesday according to the pickup receipt. The day of pickup, I got there by 9:05 and I was like 3rd in line to wait for the office to open but once it's almost 9:30 you won't see the line in the lobby because the people will be making their way upstairs to go through security. You stay in the same order as when you line up downstairs after you sign in with security. Once upstairs, the line splits off depending on what you are doing. There's a separate line for pickup and a separate line for applying for the visa- so just because you see 10 people ahead of you, maybe 3 of them is for pickup. So, before you go to the embassy, you need to apply via the online form and you need to include a headshot of yourself on a white background, not off-white because the application will not let you move forward. I typed just my personal info in CAPS but did everything else in normal writing with some capitalizations. Though it says that filling in your "position" at your job and "job duties" as optional--You actually need to fill it because they will make you fill it on the spot if you don't. The "where you stay form" is not optional, though it says that...I had to fill it at the embassy so just print and have it ready to give to the officer. I had all my photocopies in color but I'm not sure if that matters but to be safe, I wanted the copies to look exactly as they are. I put that I wanted multiple entries for 9 years and something, and I got multi for 10 years and I am a US citizen who had a 6 months Chinese visa 15 years ago when I was studying abroad in HK. If you have all your documents, it should be very fast at the window. The day I applied I got to the building around 10:30AM, silly me brought a coffee up thinking I can drink it while I wait inside...SIKE. You can't bring any drinks or food inside the office. So, I was outside chugging my coffee! This meant, like 7-8 people passed me while I was drinking my coffee in a span of like 7 mins and I finally went through security at around 10:35AM? I was #19 but they were on #5. I was called around 11:30AM and it took less than 10mins for the officer to review my docs and approve it. They give you a pink receipt to bring back to pickup your visa! You can pay with credit card on day of pickup and it's $140--NO CASH ACCEPTED Here's what I brought with me: - my actual valid passport with at least 6 months - printed copy of my passport -my actual copy of old passport (this is required because I had a visa before) -printed copy of my OLD passport (this is required because I had a visa before) -printed copy of OLD CHINESE VISA (this is required because I had a visa before) - copy of your state ID - printed copy of your completed Visa application with the QR Code -copy of marriage certificate (because of name change) -Where you Stay Form They had 2 officers that were just for the visa application line.
