If submit your passport in consulates or embassy it take max 45 days to get new passport, logically all your information in the application will be checked internally thru the system with passport office and they (consulate) get clearance from indian passport office once they get clearance consulate make new passport here itself, consular general/ Minister of consular having authority to sign and stamp the passport, then passport is delivered to your residence thru approved UPS mail , this is my knowledge i do not know anything latest other than this Your passport will not go to India
In US - At Indian consulate in Atlanta
Please elaborate by stating if the passport was submitted in India or in US at an Indian consulate
