Thank you @Casa & @noajthan for your views.

Probably I’m too impatient. They received it on 09/11/2016.
Last year same time, my son got within a week.
Not sure what happened this time :--(
Will be chasing them after it has passed 3 weeks.

I believe you can contact your local MP, who might be able to help.

Hi CR001,

London dates are further away... it seems you are not a recent applicant.. thus I would appreciate if you stop misguiding here..

Thank you Gomjaba & JohnnyZee... I'm looking for Chelmsford Office. It seems the backlog is building up slowly in the run-up to easter/summer. Peterborough is too far for us

It seems now-a-days there is a long delay in getting passport interview appointment. It used to be only days, now its weeks. Any ideas guys?

Hi allenboo, you are right. There are different offices they ask you to send form to. I remember when I applied for my son last year, it was Glasgow .
