This is very difficult to wait a long time for something to arrive. I would like to share my experience of waiting for a passport and visa. It was back in 2007 when I applied for a vacation abroad. It was my first trip abroad, and I was excited to enjoy the vacation there. But unfortunately, the embassy told me that my passport wasn't ready at the time. I was very sad to hear that news. However, I had to wait for a few weeks before I could finally get my passport and visa.
