TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about the processing time for a passport mailed to the Royal Thai Consulate in Chicago, and shared that their boyfriend sent in the hard copy on December 22, 2020. Community members shared varied experiences, with most indicating a timeframe of about 10 to 11 days for passport returns. Some mentioned potential delays due to the holiday season and suggested using USPS priority service to expedite the process.

Pre-covid I used them 2 or 3 times to get a multiple entry tourist visa. They processed it no longer than 2 days. Great service then.

They still process quickly. USPS 1st class mail causes the delays. Not the Chicago consulate.
