What do you mean by Ghost updates?

It means the "Status Update Date" changes on your application However "Application Status" remains the same

I didn't expect to wait more than a week to get my passport since, I assumed getting email instructions would have longest wait time. Seeing you and couple others waiting for ~2 weeks aren't positive signs.

No, I did not submit LCA and I submitted copy of I-797 since I didn't have original yet.
