You are wrong. But I’m not going to get into a pissing match about it.How? I literally just went through the process. I paid for expedited (the only option they had besides regular) - it took 9 weeks to get an appointment & it’s already been 6 weeks without receiving my passport yet.
but go on telling me I’m wrong.
This is not currently accurate. There’s a backlog. I paid the $60 (+$25 post office processing fee) and it’s 3-4 months.
I just did it. There’s no way to even get an appointment for months. No way. I called the number, I was told to make an appointment through my local post office. I was going to go to Puerto Vallarta back in August, but I’m now going in January instead.
I swear to god, if I said I just went swimming & water was wet, there’d be people on here arguing it wasn’t.
Sorry, man. You're wrong.
Just because you couldn't do it, doesn't mean it couldn't be done. "No way" is definitely wrong.
Here are some recent stories (source below)
1. As a last resort, Mr. Williams joined a Facebook group for Americans struggling with visa and passport issues, where a group member offered him an appointment in Chicago that she no longer needed. On June 4, three days before his scheduled trip, he took a day off from work, spent $400 on airfare from Atlanta and another $120 on Uber rides. He made it to the Chicago passport agency on time, and got his passport that same day.
2. Americans who require passports more quickly than the current processing times allow must show proof of imminent travel within 72 hours of their appointment. But many have found a way to work around that restriction, said Rick Grobart, who runs a management consultant firm in Chicago. He flew from Chicago to Seattle in April to get his own passport renewed, securing an appointment at midnight for 9:30 the next morning. He got a seat on the first morning flight out of O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, making it to the appointment thanks to the two-hour time difference in Seattle.
Yeah, it's tough. But it's not impossible. If these people could do it, Ridley definitely could have. That's why it's almost certainly not the issue.

Ok. I expedited. It’s taking 3-4 months.
if there’s a better way, it wasn’t available to me. Money solves a lot of woes, so perhaps corporations or wealthy people have better access.
I related my experience. I had to postpone a vacation by months. Apparently I’m not the privileged class.
Enjoy your travel.

Is this the Calvin Ridley thread, or a thread about the issuance of passports? And does anyone really think Calvin had a passport snafu?

EVERYONE in this drop this back and forth non NFL BS. I'm sick of posters posting about other posters and not football. If it's about another poster, do not post it.

Get him with any reasonable offer. The Falcons DEF is worse than some middle schools nearby and he should get a ton of volume.
I hesitate to say he is a league winner, but I'm certainly wishing I had him everywhere. I expect a second half explosion.
(Unfortunately the one spot I have him tanked)

While I agree he is due for some serious targets, his last scheduled game was a goose egg and we really don't know why. Anyone got his cell phone number?

Almost every time it’s “personal reasons” it’s a grandparent or other relative in the hospital/death in the family, etc.
Typically it’s not specified out of respect for privacy/family.
The only time I can recall it was player-related was one of the times Josh Gordon went to rehab & they kept it quiet at first.
I seriously doubt that’s the case with Ridley.

Survived this week without him and sneaked out a win. Hoping he continues his top-24 ways going forward, with room for growth. Offense looks improved each passing week.

A lot of his targets aren't catchable. The INT today was his fault though. Almost to the point of benching him until we see some sort of glimmer of the 2nd round pick we all drafted him as.

Tell me about it. Benched Chase for him. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like he’s going to return 2nd round value. 10 targets are nice, but just 4 receptions is terrible.

Agreed. Looks like he and Ryan are not on the same page. Hoping for more chemistry in the second half as the budding superstar TE draws more and more attention.

Trending WR3 with no hope in sight...

when I got him for Thielen and H Henry I thought I got a deal.
..... then off for London game - then bye - and now he seems out of sorts

He's a textbook buy low candidate right now.
Offense is improving, Pitts is emerging, Matty Ice is flinging it, and Ridley has had an uncharacteristic "ho-hum" start to the season.
We all know the talent is there....and 10 targets screams opportunity.

Lucky for him he can resume his old #2 role when Pitts is being trusted as the focal point. The risk here is that Pitts is a rookie and there will be growing pains as he adjusts to being trusted as the #1.
IDK- this is bust city, and who knows if he was even THAT talented to begin with? 6'1 190 lbs is nothing special, that's almost Devonta Smith size. Ridley should be a #2 at most with a big guy across from him, and now it looks like he has that wish. However, not sure if that leads to good production this year. C-Patt is a legit AF weapon this year.

I recently bought him for TJ Hock & a late 1st. I don't need him until 2022 so I can wait for things to improve.

A guy who should have been a top 4 WR? Yes, how ever could you have been so silly.
No one should have had to talk themselves into Ridley. He’s a stud. No one could have foreseen his “personal problems”, whatever those are.
