    ESTA approval is normally instant, but it can take longer.

    I don't think the Passport Office will do anything to expidite at this stage and/or for an ESTA application

    make sure you use the official site

    https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/

    It's pretty quick (usually within seconds)

    Have applied for countless ESTAs over the years with those stupid short dated kids passports, always instant, once took a few hours, never overnight or longer...

    That's cutting it a bit fine, had the previous passport expired or did someone repeat the urban myth that you needed six months remaining on the old one one to travel to the US?

    Apply the moment the passport arrives.
