My passport timeline:
02/07/2022: Applied for expedited child first US passport at a local acceptance center
02/09/2022: US DOS received passport application
02/11/2022: Application status changed to ‘In Process’
02/25/2022: Application status changed to ‘Approved’
03/02/2022: Passport delivered to my mailbox
Total 3 weeks 3 day
There was a holiday (02/21/2022) during this time that probably made it slower.
I also paid for 1-2 days return
