I am going to try phoning today – it’s been seven weeks since I applied and 4 weeks since I had a phone call from HMPO (they needed to check something regarding my application). I was told at the end of the call that my application was now processing and wouldn’t be much longer. It then took another two weeks for it to actually be marked as processing and it’s still processing.
Need the passport for a Background check to work abroad and to be accepted by the company that is sponsoring my visa. These delays are putting the full thing at risk. Frustrated, anxious, angry.
