I checked the delivery status of the mail (from the link provided in the passport status email that I received) and here is what it says:
Label/Receipt Number: xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xx
Status: Notice Left
We attempted to deliver your item at 6:22 PM on August 28, 2007 in XXXX, TX 75xxx and a notice was left. It can be redelivered or picked up at the Post Office. If the item is unclaimed, it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.
I have not received any notice and we were home at the time of delivery mentioned in this status. Who delivers U.S mail at 6:00 PM anyway? I am puzzled and worried. Has anyone ever had this happened?
Picked up both passports (my wife's and mine) from the post office this morning. Life is good. They said it was a usual status text that appears if they scan the package at the arrival station after hours. Go figure.
Oh, the naturalization certificate was in the same envelope. I think that when you order overnight delivery, the certificate comes in seperately. Not sure if that is a good reason to pay for over night delivery though.
Anyway, I have the passport back within 15 days after applying and with no overnight delivery. Hope this information is useful to others.
