Some datapoints for ppl following

I submitted passport along with my friend on the exact same day. Both received at location 34.

---
Friday 9/2 - USPS Priority mail (with EXPEDITE written on the envelope)
Monday 9/5 - Labor Day Holiday
Tuesday 9/6 - received in PA
Thursday 9/8 - check cashed
Thursday 9/8 - Status: In Process
---

This is where we differ.

Monday 9/19 - Status: Approved
Tuesday 9/20 - updated ETA was given: 9/23/22
Wednesday 9/21 - Passport Received in hand

UPDATE:
09/27: Just received letter in mail saying need to submit application. This is odd because I printed it an auto generated form exactly as they requested. Its unclear if I need to get a new photo
