I had posted yesterday that my husband’s passport was waiting for exam from 23rd Feb. Finally today he had a text saying ‘your passport should arrive in a few days.’ This is encouraging.
No news on the children’s passports yet but theirs were with his and ‘waiting for exam’ from 23rd Feb. So, I am hoping that we will have news of them soon.
So, husband’s passport check and send at post office was sent in on 15th February. Waiting for exam from 23rd Feb and no more news until 17th March when we had a text saying ‘you should receive your new passport within a few working days. We’ll send your supporting documents separately.” So, 30 days days from sending the passport off until receiving a text saying we should receive the new one within the next few days. I hope that this helps others. My learning is I will always do fast track from now on though as this process was very stressful with not much information on the stage of the process.
