Submitted !st time adult passport at my local Post Office on Nov.18,2022. They received and began processing it on Nov 22,2022. I checked every day to see what was happening with it and on Dec 23,2022 the website stated that it was approved and that i should receive it about Dec 28,2022. I have actually received it on Dec 28,2022 so it was a total of 40 days from the time i submitted until i received in my hands.
