Re: British Passport application processing timelines (only)

Did some research in this forum, for those who sent application to Durham office, they waited more than 3 weeks to get a interview letter in average. So sad I sent mine there. I think probably should avoid that office for future applicants. I am still waiting for anything from Durham. Sad.

Hi Guys, I got reply from HMPO and they said they are unable to trace my application based on the barcode number. It has been delivered by RM SD and signed off, payment has been deducted. Any one had the similar situation? I am worry that all documents are lost. Any advice? Many thanks.

Re: Timeline

TTOE, I send the application same day as you, but still not received SMS from HMPO. May I ask which office you send your application to? Thanks Peterborough. Many thanks. I sent mine to Durham, should choose Peterborough. The fee was deducted so I suppose the application should be received. Bless me.
