Edit Reason: 25 fee is optional
)
RG777 and I (in 2016) are probably almost in the same boat as Sharleen because the fee on travel.state.gov says 110 US. I know the last jump was because of the microchip they added in '06 or '07
There is an additional $25 fee if you don't do everything by mail, but read the fine print.
The web site says 4-6 weeks normal processing, but right now is not peak time and 3 weeks might be realistic. More money = faster, yet for even more than that gets FedEx return, but there was some wrinkle in doing such.
Please let us know (hopefully from the warmer weather of Jamaica) what steps you actually went through and the costs. Keep your spirits up.
Expired PP (w/in 5 years) allows renewal via mail.
