Passport Renewal NY experience -NORMAL PROCESSING
My passport which is about to expire in October.applied for Normal processing at NY consulate.
Here is my timeline :

Jul 13, 2020 - Application shipped through Fedex.
Jul 14, 2020 - Application delivered to Cox and Kings.

Jul 20, 2020 - Application ‘Received’ by CKGS and 'Not Verified'.
Jul 21, 2020 - Application Verification is ‘Complete’. Processing of your application will continue.
Jul 22, 2020 - Application is ‘Under Process’ at CKGS.
Jul 23, 2020 - Application is 'In Transit' to the Consulate
Jul 23, 2020 - Application is 'Under Process' at Consulate for decision making.

Aug 04, 2020 - Application 'Reviewed' by Consulate and ‘In Transit’ to CKGS Application Centre.
Aug 04, 2020 - Passport ‘Received’ at the CKGS application centre and is at the ‘Sorting Facility’ where it is being processed for delivery.
Aug 04, 2020 - Passport picked up by UPS.
Aug 04, 2020 - Delivered

Mistakes:
1. Bank cashier spelled DD payable incorrectly but I spotted and corrected it right away.
2. Missed the barcode on top of the cover first time and luckily went to fedex store before pick up and pasted the bar code.

Points to note:

Photos from Costco .
Notary signature from UPS store they charged around 2 dollars per signature.
I also selected change in appearance since my face in old passport(age 23 then) is different(more chubby now age 33)
No Address change request .Kept my India address as it is.
No police verification.

Finally I created the label and sent the application through Fedex but they delivered passport through UPS.

It took me 20 days in total.
Good luck all.
