I have just spoke to someone at HM Passport, I have asked about tracking number for delivery my passport and support documents..He gave me the number to track my passport but he told me the support documents will be behind couple days. So I wonder, is it normally to receive passport first and than couple days later the support documents?

Hi we have similar timeline, I submitted one day earlier than you, had interview on the same day as you. The interview was son long and he asked every single detail about me and my family, dont think Ive done anything wrong during the interview though. But today I received a delivery of my supporting documents only after the interview, no new passport yet.... oh should I be worried?

IN PROGRESS......

Hi guys...
I've been waiting for my Passport for over 14 weeks now, been told to call back several times but no concrete info has been given to me on the progress made. Is anyone in the same situation without a set interview date or Printed Passport? Would be happy to hear your experiences, thanks

I've also been told there's nothing wrong with my application and its still being processed. What kind of questions should I be asking to get them to spill the beans on what's really going on

Very strange, My application is about 6 weeks now but this is due to my name change, and i have my other passport in different name! But you should get an answer within 6 weeks ! i would call them back again and request the call back like every 2 days until i receive a call back! also ask them to write you a letter explaining why is that your application is taking so long ?
all the best

[badratio]

also, when would I expect to have my passport as I am planning to book a holiday soon?

4 to 10 days.

[funnyboi]

I went to the interview today, she was soo lovely lady, asked me few questions based on me. At the end of interview, I have asked how long will it takes and she said 4 to 10 working days.

So I wonder from people experiences, did they receive a text from HMPO saying the passport is printing or etc (if so when did they receive it)
also, when would I expect to have my passport as I am planning to book a holiday soon?

Thanks everyone
