Hi all,
I’ve been in exactly the same boat as you all and it’s been a stressful few weeks! Luckily received an email saying it’s been sent via courier.
Passport printed and sent 2:02pm on 21 September 2021
Application approved 3:00pm on 20 September 2021
New photo received 2:45pm on 20 September 2021
Photo rejected 2:30pm on 20 September 2021
Documents received 3:04pm on 1 September 2021
Application received 8:03pm on 22 August 2021
Application submitted 8:02pm on 22 August 2021
I did call them last week explaining I was due to travel at the beginning of October and they were kind enough to add a note on my application.
I hope this helps some of you guys! Good luck
