    If I was you I’d look to see if you can change the dates on your holiday. They absolutely will not help you before 6 weeks. Your only hope is if the application goes straight to approved but if it goes to processing then you have no chance

    No luck. I went back again yesterday and the manager said she’d contact durham and arrange an urgent callback.
    Spent hours on the phone today which was no help at all. So I’ve missed my cruise.

    So I’ve been on the phone for 1.5hrs to the progress team and then to customer service.
    They said they can’t do anything until 6 weeks. The only recommendation is to go back tomorrow which will be 24hrs before. I was also told the manager I spoke to hadn’t changed anything on my application.

    Any advice would be really appreciated.

    I sent them straight to Bootle and Newport is my closest. The queue was only 20 people and cleared in 30 mins. Yeah, the documents have been marked as received for the last 3 weeks.

    Hi all,
    My passport is in Bootle but I’m heading to the Newport office an hour before opening tomorrow. It’ll be 48 hours before I travel and my application was started 5 weeks 2 days ago. I have my proof of travel, does anyone have any advice for me as I’m quite worried as it hasn’t been 6 weeks yet.

    Just to offer reassurance I’ve searched “5 weeks” in the search bar and have found plenty of people who have had success 48 hours before and only one person saying that someone at the passport office said it needs to be 6 weeks.

    I’m also in the same situation and would love to hear back from people who have been successful recently.

    I’ve seen people do that but do you think I’ll still be able to even though my application would’ve been less than 6 weeks old?

    My passport is currently in Bootle but my closest office would be Newport. Would that be okay?
