*NB: on 22/12 after receipt of my documents by HMPO I got a call from the case worker about extra documents required (I had not sent in my current passport with an explanation on why I couldn’t send it - they accepted a full photocopy of every page of the passport which I hadn’t included). Such copies were sent on 22/12 and received on 23/12 by HMPO.
