I can't shake off the feeling by looking at this forum that renewals are given priority at the time being. Noone submitted after 20th of March received decission yet on their first passport application.

Painful dealing with HMPO. They kept saying supporting docs are dispatched on 31March and after some investigation they have dispatched docs on 14/04/2022 from Liverpool via 2nd class royal mail
