Hi all. I was abit nervous when I was told about the 10 week turnaround time as we had already booked our holiday and I applied 5 weeks before we fly out. After reading posts on this forum I did see hope and thought it will come in time. There was a delay with the passport being shown as officially received (two weeks from when it was actually signed for). After that everything went fine.
Passport printed 2:00pm on 13 May 2022
Application approved 8:14am on 12 May 2022
