Locator 11 Routine Service

Applied for 2 first time passports via routine service, no additional fees:

4/15 submitted at USPS 4/18 In Progress at Passport Agency, Locator 11 5/3 received priority mail tracking numbers

Given these are being sent Priority, I expect to have these in hand this week (though it says to expect them to arrive by 5/10). That’s a 3 week turnaround. I see no reason to spend money on expedited processing or Express return right now.
