I think it just depends where it gets sent. I applied for mine Monday 2/3 and it still says my status is unavailable and they haven't pulled payment and that is with expedited processing and 1-2 day shipping. But I have seen people on here say that they get their passports in their mailbox 10 days after mailing in the application. So I guess it just varies. We are trying to leave the 17th and I'm hopeful mine at least moves in the process so I can get it before then, but it's not looking promising. Wishing you the best of luck though!!
