My final passport application has finally been approved.
Contacted twitter and they are useless they said it was still processing as normal on 7th July. However on the Sunday 5th July i called and was put on the automatic call back list. They called 6th July and advised there was additional checks with the counter signature (I had 3 children passports he had signed but this one was pulled up for checks). So twitter staff was obviously wrong.
Requested call back from processing team 13th July but still waiting for this but my application was finally approved this morning.
Other applications times have been posted previously.
