Passports and Fingerprints

Finally, the passports we applied for back on January 6th have been inputted into system and it says we should we receive them on or about 2/11/07; just about 3 weeks or less. Also the fingerprints, we sent to the FBI were received by them on the 16th. I mailed them on the 9th by priority mail so they should get there in 2 days and what the heck, it took a week! Makes you wonder if sending things priority or express is really any more efficient than regular snail mail!
