I have spoken to CGI Birmingham yesterday, they said they are processing the applications acknowledged on 20th August now. So, will pickup my application(acknowledged on 25th August) in next week or after that.
Hoping to get my originals back in next week or so fingers crossed.

Yes saw that update.
I did called them between 11am to 12pm. Will try again this afternoon.

Lets hope so. Tried calling them today for an hour, but it always show LINE BUSY or sometimes, the bell rings, but nobody pick it up. Frustrating.
