Please forgive if I again bring up the necessity of applying for a passport
I apologize for constantly returning to the need for obtaining a U.S. passport, but it appears that the faster issuance of passports that everyone expects in the month of November, may simply be the calm before the storm. Recently, a key immigration official announced that he expected an avalanche of passport applications to recur in early December and then throughout the month of December, as people planning to travel overseas for the holidays suddenly awake to the need for a passport. And everyone had already expected a torrent of passport applications in January, as stricter requirements go into effect then for persons traveling by car or train into Canada or Mexico. The point is, once again, that passports have become a fact of travel life, and if you don't have one, you really should proceed to get one. To repeat: November will probably be the last calm before the storm.
