my passport experience
Hi Ingo - I applied mine on 8/3 and I received it today 8/28, so you might be getting it next week.
Expedite passport experience
Applied on 8/3 right after the oath ceremony (NYC) with money order to speed up the cashing process. Online status came in around 8/6 with wrong "routine process", but updated after couple days to "expedited" as originally requested. Figured out that my application was sent to Washington DC office.
Received automated email last Sunday 8/26 stating that my application has been processed, they have mailed out overnight to me, should be receiving on or about 8/26. I did not receive the package yesterday (8/27) and called the 1877 number (i called around 1pm using the 1-3-1 trick and representative picked up right away, not even 5 sec wait). The database didn't show any record whether my package has been sent or not. Verified my delivery address, which is correct. So after hanging up, I emailed to the NPIC email and requested for delivery status.
The reply I got today is
"At this time the agency has not mailed out your passport. Continue checking back for shipping info."
But I received my passport along with the NC via Fedex this morning.
Question - has anybody received overnight package via Fedex instead of USPS?
old joke - I checked my USCIS case status, on the status page my case is still pending....

You are such a lucky person....!!! I am so happy for all your luck…I wish I was you. My passport on line status is still a pending even though I applied as Expedited Service with overnight mail on August 9th. I am not sure what is going on again. It has been a pending almost for 3 weeks.
I wish I could receive it on this coming week so I can spend my long weekend at Toronto…
I am living in New York.
Thanks if you can let me know what is your state?
