Additional passport requirements postponed as processing delays continueJune 26th, 2007 After being advised that passport-processing delays are expected to continue through the rest of the year, the Department of Homeland Security reversed its position and announced that it will postpone implementation of the next phase of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI).
