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.

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

Hi,

On the printed application (from online) is there a place for countersignatory to put their details and sign? Do you still get standard passport application form from the post office and send that too?

Thanks in advance.

hi.
just u need to sign the page with barcode on ur self and give it to ur reference to complete and sign one of ur pictures ( remember exact words should be write behind the pic by him/her)...then post it as it is with ur supporting documents( passport and ur naturalisation certificate if gain ur citizenship on that base)..thats all,dont add anything else part from the single page and required docs...send the application to the address mentioned in countersignature form on the top of the page,do NOT SEND TO DURHAM OFFICE UNLESS SAID IN THE TOP OF THE PAGE TO DO SO..if u do it makes delay in ur processing...good luck
