@hanah1995 I’ve been lucky I think. I had my interview on the Friday and received my passport on the Tuesday morning. I’m really excited lol Wednesday can’t come quick enough. What office is your passport at? Mines was Glaagow and they’ve been excellent. I hope they sort it for you before the 8th. Everything crossed! x
@hanah1995 Got a text and email to say it’s been approved! So happy I can at least start looking forward to it now. Lol I started packing last night! Hope everything gets sorted on your end too. This is my timeline.

Application submitted 3:38pm on 10 April 2020So just an update. Had my Skype interview today. The woman who interviewed me said she would put it through as urgent so suppose it’s just a waiting game now. Everything crossed it’s here before the 2nd September.
@hmrog16 Brilliant! Fingers crossed you get your passport in time. I just got a call back there about half an hour ago and emailed my documents to them to pass on to the interview hub. What proof did you send? I sent my ATOL certificate with my flight dates and stuff and my insurance document. He said it can take up to 48 hours to get the call for an interview. I have everything crossed!
@hanah1995 They didn’t call back! So annoyed! I’m hoping they’ll call me today. I’ll maybe send another DM or phone them after work. Such a pain.
I just told them I’m at the two week point before I’m due to go on holiday and asked if they could start the expedition process. The guy who replied said he’d passed on the information and a couple of hours later I got the call telling me an examiner would call tonight. I’m still freaking out though lol won’t be happy til I have the passport in my hands.
Hi, so I DM’d HMPO on Twitter this morning and got a reply to say that they had passed on my information to colleagues dealing with my application. Got a call at lunch time to tell me my application was with an examiner and that someone would call me between 6pm and 10pm this evening. Have everything crossed that they’ll offer me a skype interview and that this can be sorted out before I’m due to travel.
@hanah1995 I’ve spoke to them a few times on twitter and called a couple of times. Get the same response everytime. Just keep telling me to get in touch two weeks before travel and they’ll take it from there. Let me know how you get on if you don’t mind and I’ll do the same.
@hmrog16 Still no interview yet. Wednesday 19th will be two weeks before I’m due to travel so will call up then and see how it goes from there.
Hi, My partner sent away for his renewal on the 10th April and his passport was delivered by the 15th May. Pretty quick. He had lost his passport and it was due to expire on the 27th of April. I on the other hand am left waiting as it’s my first adult passport so will need an interview. We’re due to go away at the beginning of September. You would think they could find a way around doing interviews face to face. Even zoom interviews would surely make sense and stop a backlog of passport interviews building up. Suppose I’ll just have to keep my fingers crossed that everything is up and running again soon.
