March 24th - first cheque cashed.
March 27th - second cheque cashed (electronically).
Both are showing as "in process" since March 24th, apparently being dealt with in Buffalo. No emails received despite requesting them.

Update:
For one of the two applications:
May 30th, email: Application Status: In Process. The U.S. Department of State has received your application for your passport book on 03/24/2023. We're now reviewing etc.
May 31st, email: Application Status: Shipped. The U.S. Department of State has shipped your passport book on 05/31/2023.
June 3rd, mail: Both new passports received in the mail. Date of issue is May 30th. New model, large book as requested. Sequential passport numbers (like for the application identification numbers). Endorsement has been made for the one passport where it was requested.
I did not receive a single status email regarding the first one! I shall advise when old passports and birth certifs are back.
June 6th, mail: Old passports and birth certifs are back... Until next time...
Good luck to all!
