I have gone through the option mentioned above the standard phone number then options 8 then 3. I applied 14th March, docs received a couple of weeks later, then second docs received and went to processing 20th April.
I phoned a couple of days ago, mine is apparently now being processed in Belfast. I have applied for my application to be expedited under compassionate grounds but this went to the Liverpool compassionate team as my docs went there. I did query this as surely it should be Belfast? – Still not heard anything regardless.
Tbh the stories I have read with regards to the compassionate team haven’t filled me with confidence so I think I will be requesting an upgrade come Tuesday anyway.
I am just in the process of emailing my MP to see if there is anything he can do to help.
@chelsey I would definitely be chasing if i were you. I’m going to try to call over the next couple of days to see where my application is being processed. I want to be ready to send an upgrade request as soon as I possibly can. I have read that people have been asked for further documentation weeks/months down the line which would make it very difficult or even impossible to upgrade if they are phoning 1-2 days before travel. It’s a joke!
My 10 weeks from application takes me up until the day before we fly 🙈 but now I’ve also read it can be 10 weeks from the processing stage. I so wish I had found this forum before I sent my standard application as i would have just gone fast track, but hindsight is a wonderful thing.
@nikki1075 hoping it won’t be too much longer for you. Mine’s gone into the dreaded processing stage today so I am hoping I will be eligible for upgrade 2 weeks before or I won’t be going – can’t see it being processed and delivered in less than 5 weeks looking at other people’s timelines.
@nikki1075 just wondering how you are getting on with your application? I have also just received a 2nd documents received text (2 weeks after the initial one), also for a name change renewal. We are due to fly in 5 weeks so getting nervous that this will mean we’ve been sent right to the back of the queue.
