My bet is that newly-issued passport is ready for pick-up by applicant at some point next week. I wouldn’t have been surprised if it would have been available for pick-up on Friday of this week, but the Thanksgiving closure does slow things down a bit.

And indeed it was at the embassy as of today; and it will now be picked up tomorrow morning. Fast service, with no expedite fee relevant for such circumstances.
