Passport from Houston Consulate

[ianiro]

I am wondering how long the wait is to receive my passport in the mail after I have my passport application appointment at the Houston Consulate?

I am starting to look at dates for when I can go to Italy to see family and I wanted to go with my italian passport. Any info will be appreciated.

Check with the Houston consulate; in New York City, you can usually walk out with your passport within an hour or having completed the application and fingerprinting.

Worst case, you should receive it by mail within a week to ten days after your appointment.

I'm curious if you had your passport appointment yet and what happened in Houston if you did.

I have a passport appointment in Houston scheduled for Aug 11 and would be very grateful for any advance scouting. Thanks!
