Hey am flying out on the 16th may and submitted my application on 7th March documents received on 21st March. Been on the phone to the passport office and got mixed messages been cut off and not getting no answer. Today I emailed the upgrade team at Durham and recover an automated email saying they noted my travel day. So hopefully should receive a call soon.
It’s been a headache stressful time past few weeks let’s hope they get back to me.
