Hey guys!
So I’ve been following the forum for a couple of days to give me some hope. Like most people here I too have a backstory- I needed to take the express route to get my passport by Friday 25 February 2022 the latest to get to a ceremony in the UAE on 26 February. Except I didn’t realise there was an express option until after I’d sent off my old passport. So silly me for not looking into it properly. However! Fingers crossed it may just work out. I wouldn’t recommend you do as I have done and count on it because honestly I’ve been gambling at it since I posted the passport 2 days later instead of the same day 🤦🏽♂️ 🤷🏽♂️
