Processing

[djbdane]

There are two routes
Docs received -> approved
and
Docs received -> processing

when the update is processing then your application has dropped out of the digital processing route into the manual route – then I am afraid you’re in for a wait. But be careful simply requesting a call back about your application is apparently enough to drop it from the digital path.

Hi Lisa, just to give you some hope, all moved quickly after my last post. Interview yesterday and application approved straightaway. Now just waiting for it to be posted….. still a long time since 11 March though

Processing since 6th April. Genuinely believe they are dealing with all recent incoming applications but have a pile which were in backlog only being dealt with when travel is imminent. Looks like an improvement but in reality lots still waiting.

Oh that’s fantastic Spot congratulations. Yeah Eagles I think they are rushing through new applications then they can reduce their turnaround. Good luck I hope you get yours soon .

Hi all,
Has anybody actually had a decent experience after their passport moves to “being processed”? My daughters passport renewal dropped into this state 3 days ago, at first I was happy that it had finally moved from “documents received” but after reading the horror stories on here it would appear I’m now in for a long wait? We fly in August so I’m just hoping I don’t fall into a 12 week black hole like some other unfortunate people 🙁

Hi swm182, we are in the same boat. My daughters application changed to processing on the 11th after weeks of ‘documents received’. We are meant to fly on 11th June but that seems very unlikely now!

Hi Laura1984,
I’ve read some things that say newer applications are being processed faster, not good for people who have been processing since March but maybe a glimmer of hope for us? I’ll let you know if I get any updates, could you do the same? Good luck!

Hi All
I’ve just emailed my MP and explained it only appears near applications are being processed quickly and for help with mine. Maybe be worth it????

[swm1982]

Hi France22,

Yeah I’ll definitely email my local MP if i get stuck in processing for ages. I fly in August so will leave it for the people who definitely need the help.. I’ll start getting extra nervous if I get to July and I’m still stuck 🙁
