Date of Ceremony: 4/4/18
I requested my passport back via online form on the 4/3/18. This might have sped up the process as they say that they have 10 working days to return the requested document (they returned all of them).
I received the documents back with the approval letter 8/3/2018
I strongly recommend the online service! Good luck everyone!
