Hello,
I thought I would share my whole timeline now my passport has been delivered. First adult passport after Naturalisation, with interview.
29 working days total from application to delivery, just shy of 6 calendar weeks.
Also, I got a text and an email at every step, including reminders for my interview and a text to remember to sign my passport after the approved one.
Hope this is helpful ☺️
