With mail in the US being way messed up, such renewal application by mail is at the mercy not just of what State does but also with all that is going on with the USPS as of late.
I sent my renewal in on Aug. 10th, priority mail. It was received on Aug. 14th. The check was cashed on Aug. 18th. The site says it is still in process. I was originally planning to fly back to ANU on Oct. 1st, but that isn't happening. I am thinking about re-booking on Oct. 31st. Based on the responses here, I might guess it will be ready early in October.
