Yay! Got approved today. Actually, it was very weird. I called up 15.30. Spoke to a very nice man, who was very patient, because I wanted to talk and talk about how fed up I was. He told me that someone was actually looking at the passport as opposed to it being lying on a desk somewhere and that it would take another week approximately. Then at 16:40, hey presto, I was approved.
