Passport hell !!!

Have you ever tried to get passport ? The process of getting passport is different in every country. I would like to tell about my story of getting passport. I was going to USA , therefore i needed a passport urgently. I applied for passport, customs officials said that i will get it in four weeks. Four weeks pasted , i went to get my passport. When i asked about my passport , customs officials said that my appllying documents are lost. I did not know what to do. I asked to find them, at last there were found, by that five weeks had past. But they were just found, i could not wait any more, because the date of going to USA was coming. Then, i got an idea to ask help from a member of parlament for whom my family voted. His name is Davron Sabirov. He graciously helped me to get passport. He just called customs officials and ordered them to make my passport. After four days, my passport was delivered to me. Have you ever had a experience on getting a passport ?
