The rates on qualified dividends range from 0 to 23.8%. To qualify for the qualified dividend rate, the payee must own the stock for a long enough time, generally 60 days for common stock and 90 days for preferred stock. To qualify for the qualified dividend rate, the dividend must also be paid by a corporation in the U.S. or with certain ties to the U.S.
Expedited Passport Service. Expedited processing is an optional service available to those who cannot wait 4 to 6 weeks to get a passport. The estimated time to expedite an application by mail or through an application acceptance facility is 2 to 3 weeks.
The post office ppl told me expedited service would only expedite your application by one day, meaning you will receive your passport one day earlier than routine service. Again it took me 9 days to get my passport in the mail via routine service.
