I would imagine if the upgrade teams have to start asking for booking dates of flights and holidays then that will waste even more time for those who are desperate
@Ryerkt88 Mine email was also straight away. Then I had a text come through some 12 hours later confirming time and place and links for their Covid policies and guidance on filling form in.
@blackhall you must write they won’t accept calls. If your going to do it send multiple letters
Mine included
My name and address DOB
My reference PEX
my lost passport reference L
Why I was withdrawing
That I understand I would lose my fee.Then signed and date which must be in ink
I confirmed where my application was held (cos they can be moved about) and sent them guaranteed 1pm next day signed for. I also emailed copies of the letters and proof of delivery.
I also called and asked them to log I was withdrawing as I had secured a fast track and gave them my booking ref to add to my notes.
Hope this helps.@blackhall my experience is that I sent 3 letters signed for to withdraw my app that arrived 21/4. I’ve had a call today from a lovely lady saying she is withdrawing my application as of today. She even call me back to confirm she’d done. I love her and I told her that!
It’s a risky strategy withdrawing an application apparently and I dithered for 2 weeks before I sent my letters, 3 of them, I was given conflicting advice from all angles. Eventually I decided I needed to take back control of this situation, if it didn’t pay off then it was my fault. I had 7 weeks till holiday when I sent letters and booked a fast track for the 16 may. I fly on the 4/6.
I’m not advising this route just giving you my experience. I read someone on Facebook who said she’d sent 15 letters and none where opened. It’s a bit of a lottery. Good luck.@minesasangria. I’m in the same dilemma. I’ve just spoken to HMPO and asked what the time scales are for cancelling the application so I can book a fast track appointment, I have been told 11 days to review the cancellation letter (lord knows why) and up to 14 days to upload it on their system. I was advised not to cancel. It’s very very frustrating to say the least.
