They should send everything back to the mailing address you list on your form, nothing to worry about.

so upon checking with local USPS office earlier today that my passport application has been delivered to Philadelphia passport center on Feb 15,2021! Not sure why the Passport customer service could not find it in the system. Cheque has been cashed yet!

Posted

Received my passport today, applied expedited.

 

Timeline was as follows:

 

2/2/2020 - Applied at USPS (Denver, CO)

2/10/2020 - Received/In Process E-Mail

2/25/2020 - Approved E-Mail

2/25/2020 - Shipped E-Mail

2/27/2020 - Passport arrived

 

Doesn't seem like there is all that much difference between regular and expedited at the moment.

I was in the same situation and I totally understand it can be extremely stressful. Below are my timelinse:

Submitted application Dec 16th, 

USPS delivered in Philadelphia : Dec 30th

Entered into passport app system: Feb 2nd

Passport printed and sent: Feb 22nd (still waiting for it to be delivered!)

I had no idea why the customer care couldn't find my application b/w Dec 30th and Feb 2nd, and was getting super anxious like you. But as long as your app has been securely delivered at Phili, you should be ok - its a waiting game from here on. Hope you are luckier than I was.

there is a difference - regular is faster than expedited 🤣🤣🤣 I applied expedited and its been over 2.5 months and still waiting.

Congratulations for your new passport :)

Thanks Bavi for your helpful information. That was a long delay sorry to hear that, hopefully it wont be in my case!

 

Thanks to USPS local office, they were able to tell me that my passport application has been delivered to Philadelphia on Feb 15,2021. Not sure if all NYS applicant routed to Philadelphia passport agency? I had a fear that USPS lost my application but atleast they were able to track it down (that is what I was being told by USPS officer) and hopefully be in safe hand! My cheque has not been cashed yet as of today! So how long did it take for passport agency to cash your cheque?

My money order was cashed the same day I got the “application received” notification from the passport office i.e., feb 2nd.

I had also applied from New York City and it routed to Phili

Quick update in case anyone finds it useful. I got a notification yesterday, 2/24/2021, that my application was approved. This morning, 2/25/2021, I got another notification that my passport has shipped. The USPS tracker is not showing anything at the moment but hopefully that will update later today.

 

So, in short, mine took around 3 weeks non-expedited. I hope everyone else's is as speedy.

The passport and my naturalization certificate were both delivered today, March 1st. The passport came expedited mail and the certificate by normal mail.

I applied last week (the 25th) in a local library.  They actually gave me the tracking number right there before I left and shipped it same day.  Mine went to Phili as well and was delivered yesterday around noon.  It looks like Phili is not the best processing facility.  We will see how it goes.  I will keep updating if anything changes.

I applied for my passport on February 13th at a USPS office in  North Jersey.  I think that was sent to Philadelphia.  I have just checked and it says that they got the application yesterday March 1st. 

Did you check the tracking number, or the DoS website (Passport case tracker) where it said delivered yesterday?
