Good Morning from Canada…”Documents Received” 10/3/22, “Application in Process” also 10/3/22, and then…nothing since – 6 weeks today of no update. Trying to ascertain what’s next – is next update “APPROVED/Rejected”? Could they STILL come back asking for more supporting docs, or does the fact that it got into “Processing” mean that we’re past that stage now? Soooo many questions, any enlightenment anyone can offer – or stories from other overseas applicants especially – would be much appreciated.
Not sure if same as UK but my belief is that if it goes to processing it has gone into manual checking rather than digital so has to wait for someone to physically check it. I’ve called & asked about this as mine has been processing since 17th March, I was told I basically just have to wait & it could mean other documents are required depending on it being checked. Not much help I’m afraid
thank you Max! As it seems all of us here just have to try and cobble together enough evidence to explain our situation, that information is helpful – as I forgot to mention my app is a First Adult Passport, hence it going to Manual Processing makes sense!
Max FWIW, I’m seeing all over this board that – especially for an Overseas First Adult application – my timelines dont seem so crazy yet, and that I might wanna just hunker down and accept that it may be the whole 10 Weeks (May 20ish) before I have it in my hands. What I have learned here – and thus want to find out ASAP that its not the case for me – is that the stupidly unreasonable processing times seem to occur when there is a perceived problem with one’s application, or in other words, the more it has to be “looked at”, the longer it takes
Hi everyone. I applied for my passport on 2nd April (first adult passport) and sent my old child passport which they signed for on 4th April. On the 19th April i finally get a text to say they had received my old passport. Then today i get a text to say the application has been approved and the passport is being printed?! Have i been extremely lucked and bypassed the ‘processing’ stage or have i missed something? Thanks
There is a fb page called Passport Chaos 2022 that you might all find helpful. I joined yesterday and there is a lot of support and helpful advice on there. I have been in Processing since 21 March – despite phone calls and web chats, still no movement 🙄
Hey!
I did online renewal for my daughter on Thursday 14th April & sent docs signed for. They were scanned on 19th. Passport application approved 22nd, printed & delivered but 28th April.
It was soo much quicker than I expected. Bootle is where her old passport had to go!
Fingers crossed for you
