I was native enough to believe 3 weeks online processing time
As passport had 5 months remaining
I thought best to renew
Have 1.5 weeks to go before losing non refundable flights over £1000
(Paying it by installments PayPal)
I’ve begged passport office to upgrade premium service £102 on top £50 online paid already
So there’s a hope getting it back in time
2 days now they ignored me as security checks by 3rd party government organisations not complete
So in hands contractors
