I applied for US Passport on 12/23/08. The travel.state.gov still hasn't updated my information. The check for $75.00 was cleared on 12/28/08. Is this normal for them not to have status updated? It has been 7 business days. I know this is holiday season and all, but what has been the usual experience for you folks? The lady at the post office told me ETA was about 3 weeks. I didn't pay for expedited service.
