12/03: USPS Informed Delivery showing mail from "U.S. Government Official Mail - OPR" in Portsmouth NH has sent something arriving that day - but was also caught in the mail hold
12/05: Passport (new-gen) and passport card received in mailbox
FWIW, attempts to check on MyTravelGov between 10/21 and 11/xx were rewarded with "In Process" on the website and nothing else - no way to see if anything going on nor any e-mail when requesting application status on travel.state.gov.

I frankly knew nothing at all about the online option until reading about it here. Seems like it's got lots of problems and (based on your experience) takes longer than submitting by mail? I'm glad I didn't know about it before I renewed.
