Passport delivered today – 21st July.
It took a long time for the documents to be scanned on to the system. I sent her old passport by recorded delivery and they were signed for on 26th June. We contacted our local MP’s secretary. She was very helpful. I believe that her intervention helped push it along, so it’s worth a shot for those of you worried. We travel on 7th August.
