Lauraf1990 – you’ve given me a little bit of hope this morning. I was also 3 weeks turnaround when I applied and if I am on your time frame of 5wk 1 day, then I’ll still be ok for my holiday! How long were you In Processing?
I don’t know why I even check this forum – my passport is at Peterborough! But i think that this point we are all just gathering all the info we can!
leahmcaParticipantYey lkt1990 – some progress at least!!
Weird that you woke up to it! Do you think they’re working overnight?!
leahmcaParticipantHello all
Still In Processing – waiting examiner
Jespop30 – great news. Hopefully things will progress now for you!
I have looked into my holiday 4th April) I can reschedule 7 days before departure for no extra cost including flights and car hire – just pay extra as it’ll be may rather than April so more expensive anyway. Feeling a little less stressed and coming to terms with the fact passport won’t be here on time
leahmcaParticipantAnyone have the number for Peterborough office ?
leahmcaParticipantJespop30- fingers crossed for more hours! I can’t understand how long it takes to look at an application either. Especially if it’s a first child passport with two British passport parents living in Britain!
leahmcaParticipantI also sent mine so hopefully it’ll not cause a hold up as it should be there to hand if they need it. A positive is that they seem to approve at all hours of the night so maybe we will wake up to that message?! I assumed it was 9-5 Monday to Friday but someone was approved at 1am this morning
leahmcaParticipantNothing for me either jespop 😞
leahmcaParticipantI started application 16th feb and joined the processing queue / examiner queue on Monday 8th March. No further progress. I phoned today but it’s still waiting on examiner
leahmcaParticipantAnyone at Peterborough with first child passport?
App received 16th
Docs received 28th
Processing 8thPhoned today and it’s awaiting checks by examiner. Some people at other offices seems to be getting a 2 week turnaround on first child!
leahmcaParticipantFinally plucked up the courage and contacted the HMPO – awaiting standard checks by examiner. Not really much further on. When a passport enters processing does it automatically become ‘awaiting checks by examiner’ or is this another stage? I assume standard checks could then result in enhanced checks if needed
leahmcaParticipantI feel like we all need to group together. Power in numbers !
leahmcaParticipantJust spoke to my husband, he told me to stop stressing because we have three weeks left until we go bit o can’t even think about packing or what I need to buy!!
leahmcaParticipantOh my days. I don’t even think I want to phone now. I can’t take the bad news. We go in just over 3 weeks and ‘processing’ only started on Monday. Think I might throw up
leahmcaParticipantIf it is 3 weeks from processing then really the whole thing is 6weeks and this should be clearly stated on website. From reading this forum people (like myself) have booked a holiday working with the 3week time frame
leahmcaParticipantJespop – only started processing on Monday there so I’m not sure where it is in the queue. I’m trying to decide when is a reasonable time to phone or email. Tuesday marked the three weeks which was the wait time when I applied. Obviously now it’s up to 5weeks.
Did you phone or email ? -
