![]() ![]() Some applicants-first-timers and those whose passports were lost or stolen, for instance-have to go down a more annoying route, standing in line at a physical passport acceptance facility. Most passport holders can do so by mail, which involves printing out forms, filling them out, enclosing photographs (which must be up to State Department snuff), sending in the old passport, and paying up via check or money order. The current methods of renewing passports are indeed time-intensive and outdated. "There's no reason, frankly, that someone who already has a passport and just needs to renew it shouldn't be able to do that online and not have to come into a passport center with all the resources that requires," he said. In a March budget hearing, Secretary of State Antony Blinken named another important factor behind the current delays: archaic processing practices. And wait times have ballooned accordingly. It's now receiving half a million passport applications every week, up 30 percent from the same time last year, per The New York Times. In FY 2022, the State Department issued nearly 22 million passports, a record high. Many State Department employees were let go or reassigned to other duties after pandemic travel restrictions caused passport demand to crater. "Almost 1.8 million applications that were in the pipeline just sat there for three months," reported The Washington Post. Once COVID-19 and government restrictions hit, most State Department employees began teleworking and couldn't process passport applications at home for security reasons. Pandemic-era problems have helped cause previous and current backlogs. As of March 24, routine processing was taking 10 to 13 weeks, while expedited processing was taking seven to nine weeks. But thanks to delays at the State Department, many are finding that their documents won't be ready in time for summer vacations. With international travel finally rebounding from COVID-era lows, Americans are renewing their passports in huge numbers.

I’m like, ‘What the hell, man? That’s so dumb.’”Īs for Ben, at the end of season 3, he and Devi have sex, and season 4 opens with the repercussions of that decision. ![]() ![]() “I hate in TV shows and movies when they make it seem like that the person, that love interest, once they get together, that’s their best person in their life. “Platonic relationships are just as important as romantic relationships, right?” Ramakrishnan explained. In fact, she’s glad the final season focused on more than just romance Devi’s friendships with Fabiola (Lee Rodriguez) and Eleanor (Ramona Young) also take center stage. ![]() She added that Devi and Paxton “have a very deep real respect for each other that’s really quite beautiful.” They do love each other in a different way,” Ramakrishnan told at the at the Never Have I Ever “Had An Inspiration Like You” event. “I like how they ended in the sense that they really do value each other. But ultimately, they keep their distance given Paxton is now a member of the school staff and Devi is a student, and they end the show as friends. In season 4, sparks seem to reappear between Paxton and Devi when they get accidentally get locked in a supply closet together and kiss. In Paxton’s case, he actually gets hit by a car-still, they stay close throughout the series. One of the difficult lessons Devi learns as she grows up is that she can’t treat people like they only exist to serve her desires at one point, she dates Paxton and Ben at the same time, hurting them both. It could not have been a more perfect ending.” “ Kamala and Devi dancing together after season 1, where Devi would’ve never even considered that, but also just a celebration of the show. “It just felt like such a celebration of our characters, of our characters’ journeys and growth and the relationships,” Moorjani told at the Never Have I Ever “Had An Inspiration Like You” tastemaker reception this week. In a fitting display of their sisterly bond, Devi and Kamala dance together at the wedding. The whole event is a showcase for how Devi’s relationship with her family has changed through the years, in particular with Nalini and her cousin, Kamala (Richa Moorjani). The finale features the celebratory wedding of Len and Nirmala. Nalini Vishwakumar (Poorna Jagannathan), are actually very supportive of Nirmala’s love, which could never have happened without the growth they experienced these past four seasons. One of Devi’s moral foils in the show has been her grandma, Nirmala (Ranjita Chakravarty), who tearfully confesses in season 4 that she has been dating a man named Len (Jeff Garlin)-a white man, which she can’t stop mentioning. That wraps everything up, right? Not quite. Meanwhile, Paxton has found love with another teacher (a young teacher) after he starts working as a swim coach at the school, having found his freshman year of college a little too challenging. It seems like their paths are finally diverging, and it’s time to let each other go. Devi graduates and is accepted to Princeton, while Ben is going to NYC for an internship over the summer. The last season is largely about transitions as everyone figures out where they’re heading post-high school. What happens in the finale?ĭevi celebrates her high school graduation. Here, we break down the ending with the help of the cast. Now, the beloved series draws to a close as its fourth and final season arrives Netflix, and it centers on a lot more than Devi’s romantic life. While other potential romantic interests pop up here and there-including season 4’s bad boy Ethan (Michael Cimino)-Devi's ties to Paxton and Ben always caused the most tension. The show’s four seasons follow Devi's discovery of sex and dating, and quickly introduces the other object of her affection, Ben Gross (Jaren Lewinson), who starts out as her nemesis before they quickly become more. Case in point: She directly propositions Paxton to sleep together. When she finally returns to school able to walk again, Devi finds herself acting out to avoid confronting her feelings. After the death of her beloved father, Mohan (Sendhil Ramamurthy), her grief paralyzes her. She also got tangled in a classic love triangle.ĭevi begins the series infatuated with the most popular boy in school, Paxton Hall-Yoshida (Darren Barnet), but her reputation as “Crazy Devi” precedes her. Through all her shenanigans, Devi has reminded viewers of all the chaotic emotions, landmark moments, and confusion around identity that tend to happen in those key high school years. Since then, the now 21-year-old has given her character a youthful vulnerability that is often missing in teen shows these days, while also highlighting the experiences of an Indian American family. ![]() When Maitreyi Ramakrishnan first landed the role of Devi Vishwakumar, the lead of Netflix's Never Have I Ever, she was only 17. ![]() Mercy is the force that reawakens us to new life and instils in us the courage to look to the future with hope.

Its basically a full blown mini-house with electrical, insulation, drywall, vent, TV, phone, pergo floor, etc. We then poured a concrete slab for it and then roofed and painted it. My Dad built it in Oregon and then dis-assembled it and drove it down to California where we put it back together. The playhouse is 8x8x8, I got the plans for the playhouse here. Of course, I had to do the full on installation which was a playhouse I built for my two girls.
