American Refused Entry at Cebu

Up to you mate, the only person who will let you know will be the person doing there job at immigration.  Or it may be at your airline when you go to check in, in America they may not let you board the aircraft.

Does it take 3 weeks to get a new / renewed passport in America?  (Aust it can be done in about 7 days)

You can pay extra and get it done in the USA in a week, would advise doing so.

If you are traveling within 2 weeks or need a foreign visa within 4 weeks, you should make an appointment at a passport agency or center. The passport agency or center will specify when you will get your new passport. See Get a Passport in a Hurry.

I'm currently in Thailand. Thanks for your replies.

Ok, maybe will have to do that. I will check with the airline.

Google Express Passport . Urgent Passport Services.

These can get you a passport in as little as 24 hours. Will cost you $500 or so. Or a week. That costs $370 or so.  But you need to be somewhere in the US. Maybe Guam is near.

You can overnight your passport for emergency leaves if you send it the express mail rate.. you just pay whatever the additional charges are.
