Hi,
We are in exactly the same position and have exactly the same dates as what you have said and we are both feeling very stressed about the idea of not knowing what’s going on and will we get passport back in time for the 14th. It would be interesting to know if anyone else in the same boat and have any other information. The only thing I have read is the if your due to fly in less than 2 weeks you can get an upgrade on your passport application but I don’t like the idea of being on edge till that date not knowing if we’ll get it.
