Actually, we were told it would take two to three weeks to get the additional pages--but it's been nearly five weeks. Could be my fault though, because I indicated we had to have the passport back by August 1. We'll have it by then, so I guess I got what I asked for. Zierer also has an online status check which I've been checking periodically. When I looked at it yesterday and it still said the passport was being processed, I called them. Apparently that got some action, because they sent someone over to the State Department today to pick it up. They emailed the Fed Ex tracking number a couple hours ago, so it's on it's way. Zierer is telling us it only takes a few days to get the China Visa and it appears that was the case for Anne and Gary, so hopefully it will work for us too. Lesson learned, though, this time I'll say we need it back ten days or so before we're supposed to leave.
