I had Express processing of my passport. I did not need to show proof. The guy asked if I was going to travel anytime soon and I said I might do a road trip but I have no proof, which I would need. He shook his head and said I could get it in a week for $50, standard processing fee is $20. I chose Express and paid the extra $50. If I needed it next day I would have to show proof. I applied July 19. It was due pickup July 27. According to the tracker it was printed already Friday or Saturday (can't remember). I went in today and got it. No questions asked why I was early.

Congratulations. Wait for 5 or 10 years and you will get the new old one :)

Congratulations. I called up the helpline yesterday and they told me the passport has gone for printing the day before. Did not think it will take 2-3 days just to get printed.
Since the status did not change this morning, I am assuming it will not change today. Will take a look at status again tomorrow with renewed hope :)
