Hi guys got my passport this morning. Put a upgrade request in 14 days before departure. Sent it to the wrong office due to the wrong details being given over the phone, waited a few days heard nothing rang them up then they told me that. Put the request bk in to the right place give it another few days still heard nothing. Once again I repeated the process for the third time. Still nothing. Rng almost every day no joy. Turned up at the office waited patiently to speak to someone with an appointment she said she would look into it for me,got phone calm same day to say passport was getting printed. 2 days later passport through the door. Stress is over. Just stay positive and keep at it and you will get it
