You should be fine recent applications seem to be going through quickly and you have plenty of time.
No guarantee obviously 🙂
That is probably the same decision I will have to make (if I get that far). London is easier / quicker by train for me but I can drive to Hemel..
Which station would you get into? there are a few tube stations near – it won’t be difficult just a bit more expensive.
You’ll have nicer places to wait in London if you need to hang around haha
For me just a few days later I think 6th. I was told it had to show as received on the system (I assume after it is scanned like you say) before I could upgrade.
Mine has been that status since 4th April (not to make your panic worse ebveryone has a different time line)…. at Durham (who from what I gather seem to be the worst of the bunch for timescales).
you are correct the actual status is send us your documents I didn’t mean send us your old passport as a formal status and yes I sent the passport shortly after the renewal application.
I will admit that I am in a different position to most. I was in no rush when I sent the renewal ahead of possible holidays later in the year. I then found out a few days later I would have to travel with work (not someting I normally do any more).
Had I known I would have done a priority renewal or waited longer. I would have had the required 2 months remaining for the work trip but too late now!
When did you send the emails?
From what I have seen you can only upgrade within 2 weeks of travel so that would be from today for you and it sounds like you might have sent the emails before today? If so it’s possible they could have ignored it because it did not meet their criteria to start the upgrade.
If you sent the email today then wait for a reply if it was a while ago then I guess you might want to send another?
The last call I had with them they told me I can’t even start the upgrade because the status is still showing send us your old passport. I am due to travel a week today!
