26 days since application started being processed and no news! I rang them several times and every time I am told it has passed initial checks and that an examiner needs to do final touches and approve! I told them I got BC in 8 weeks! and the passport is taking longer than that!
I escalated and now waiting for processing team to call me this week to explain why there is delay!..
