I live in the Philippines and need to renew my passport as it has less than 6 months validity. My documents were received nearly 8 weeks ago and still no update. Has anyone else living overseas experienced such a long wait?

Renewed a child’s passport from Qatar.
Arrived and ‘Application in process’ since July 14th. It actually arrived by DHL two weeks before that date.
So nearly two months now and still waiting!

Finally got the approval message on the 19th and now it is on its way via DHL.
