After reading the above I seem justified in holding on until the last minute and making an international trip as an excuse for hand carrying an expedited renewal application.

2/13/2021 - Application mailed to Irving TX via USPS Priority Mail - I requested routine service
2/22/2021 - Application arrived 2/24/2021 - Application status changes to "in process" 4/6/2021 - Application status changes to "approved" - the email reports it is in the mail and gives a tracking number 4/7/2021 - USPS reports that the Expected Delivery is by 4/10/2021 If it arrives on 4/10/2021, it will be exactly 8 weeks from when I mailed the application to TX. |

It's amazing how quickly your application changed to In Process, I sent my application to Irving Texas as well, delivered march 24, and up until today it's still not in process

Philly. Mine was a renewal.
4/3: mailed priority to PA 4/5: USPS tracking showed delivered 4/7: ‘In Progress’ on State Dept site Paid for expedited. |
3/1/2021 - Application mailed to Irving TX via USPS Priority Mail - routine service
3/5/2021 - Application delivered to PO box 3/9/2021 - Application status changes to "in process" x/xx/2021 - Application status changes to "approved" x/xx/2021 - USPS reports that the Expected Delivery is by x/xx/2021 Based on recent trends in this thread, it would seem that "approved" might be approximately 4/20. |

You're not the only one going through that, the USPS has opened an investigation and sent in a team of postal inspectors to the Philadelphia distribution center to see why passport applications are being severely delayed. If you can take any solace from this is that all applications eventually arrive, even with major delays. A CBS affiliate in Boston just ran a news story for a woman whose passport renewal application sat at the Philadelphia USPS center for over a month
I don't know if it just didn't get scanned or whatever but my tracking still shows that it's "in Transit" out of Phoenix... hasn't even made it to the PO Box as far as I can tell; |

Was it sent with tracking? We mailed ours on 3/4 at 4:45PM from Charlotte, NC to Philadelphia. They show as received on Sunday 3/7 on USPS. Then, they finally showed up on the Passport Status check site (after 2 or 3 calls) on 3/23 and show as processing.
If you mailed on 1/27 and have proof of delivery, you should call the National Passport Center and ask where your application(s) are at. Has your fee check cleared? I did have a tracking number. It is being shown has delivered. I have called the passport agency 4 times and they just tell me to keep waiting. It has been over 10 weeks. My check has never cleared. I am going to have to fill out a lost or stolen passport application soon. |

At the moment, if one is able to get into an Embassy or Consulate in Europe ( which can be a challenge as some are not doing regular ACS appointments, or are very restrictive on days and times) the time between application and receiving a passport is consistently under 14 days. I know someone who applied last Monday and got their passport yesterday (Wednesday) = 9 days.
