Submitted my application via e-consulate 3/1 and its been over 8 weeks and they have yet to even look at my application. From reading other posts it seems like they're really backed up. I have also read that some people were able to just go for an in-person appt at the SF consulate and get their passports basically the same day?

My question is.. I already submitted an application, can I still go to the consulate and talk to them in person and try to expedite? Or since I already submitted it, I have to sit and wait until they get to it?

Also, the only other thread I saw was from over 6 months ago, how have people been getting their passports recently and how long has it taken?
