@thekooseenlins – my son’s renewal took 12 days before before it was acknowledged as received, even though I knew they received 10days before (royal mail tracked) so hopefully by the end of the week they should acknowledge yours. once they do, I would call them and as you will be within your two weeks travel time they will escalate. I think its tight but its do-able. Ive been waiting for 3 weeks for two passports. Ive read some posts and people have escalated and had their passports approved and sent all in one day! Lucky..so I guess theres always a chance!
