Hi, here's a link to the shared google spreadsheet, it's a great resource where everyone doing FBR adds their dates (see 'data' tab) for: application done online/post was confirmed received/any address checks/congratulations received/actual FBR received (with a column incase you want to make any notes about your process or circumstances).
Drats, not quite quick enough to edit my post to avoid loading the spreadsheet inside it.

Was going to suggest a shortened link or that you go to the link itself in the signature of user GoingBackToEire on e.g. page 297 called "The Almighty Spreadsheet - Resurrected!".
That's very strange, I remember it asking for payment along with the application before it gave an application number and allowed for the form to be printed off.
Hi, tdogg, thanks for your dates! I know exactly what you mean, the patience muscle gets a good workout with this
From the different discussion sites I follow it seems that both questions are answered YES.Although, they are not rejecting your witness but stating they could not be reached. If they can't contact the witness they make you redo it with a different witness. The passport office does do this often enough. The passport office at this time also seems to have an increased volume of applications so it has slowed down.adlarson wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 3:28 pmI made it through the FBR process in 8 months from docs arrival to certificate in my hand, all went very smooth. However, getting the passport is turning out to be tricky
* Got estimate 4 weeks out for when passport would be sent out, a week after that date I get an email saying they could not contact my witness so I needed to redo the witness form and mail it in
* I mail in new witness form using a new witness and included a business card this time
* Get a new estimate when passport would be ready in 4 weeks
* 2 weeks later I get all my submitted docs sent back with no accompany letter
* 2 weeks after that, my estimated completion date comes and goes, says “application processing”
* 1 weeks after that…no change
My 2 question are…..are folks also having issues with witnesses getting rejected and are they seeing it taking more than 20 days to get their passport sent out?
Yes. June /July are getting there. About 9-10 months processing time unless more documents requested.cainey1991 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2024 12:27 pmHave a look at the FB group. I've seen a few for mid July 23 come through over the past couple of weeks. I'm sat waiting for the 17th July 2023 received dates to be progressed !
Seems like this is the case. I haven't seen much movement since the early-mid July folks. I'm early August and have been checking religiously... so I can't tell if this speed is slower than usual, if I'm just being too anxious/eager, or a combination of both.
I tried briefly searching and browsing recent pages of this thread to find a similar occurrence but was not successful. It seems most people now report receiving a congrats email directly without any address check. I don't know if the email I received counts as an address check since I was not asked to confirm my address, merely to name the recipient of the common documents. It would certainly be easier to wait patiently if the email had also confirmed a positive decision on our applications. I feel like I'm in limbo.
