Nazmas / itsahmedawan did you receive your passports?

Not now called passport helpline they said they can't find any progress they send email to Durham office .i called DX as well they don't have any delivery for me

And what about you?

Interesting. Since you haven't received it, as mine was two days after, I guess I will have to wait.

Thanks Nazmas. You should be getting your soon.

I asked for a weekend one and got it. I think unless you don't ask for a specific one they give you the one next week or something. I was initially given one for the 26th.
