Hey guys! I had my interview this morning and I'm just wondering when I can expect my passport to arrive? I'm anticipating Tuesday, but just wondering if any of you who have had a Saturday interview got it on the Monday?
Thanks!

Aaah my interview invite seems to be a little early, but I'm not complaining!

Based on the timelines, it looks like it's taking two weeks (14-16 days) from the time you send the application to the time you receive the interview letter. Does this sound right?

You need to send all uncancelled passports. Looking at the timelines thread you should have it back in around 2-3 weeks time.

Thanks, InUkOnHsmp.

Hi guys, I was wondering if any of you can answer something for me. My fees were deducted Jan 13th but I didn't receive an acknowledgement letter. Is that normal? Will it perhaps arrive with my long awaited approval?

Thanks!
