My timeline is
Date applied 11 January
Date document send 12 January
Date they received document 14 January
Received text 20 January to say they received documents
Haven't heard anything so I rang them on the 29 January for an update
Then on the 29 January I receive another text to say they received documents
February 1st application in progress
Received letter today dated 4th Feb to say I should send my current passport which I did from 12 January.
I'm just confused and worried
