Just to let you know that I was informed yesterday that passports are going to be at least 6 weeks from start of processing to despatch. Ours were received 8th May & have been told not to book any flights till end of July to be sure of having it back !!

understand that they will fast track at no charge once it has been in the system for 3 weeks if you need to go away.

Don't think that is going to help peri, you have to be travelling within the next 7 days days as well as having your passport in the system for 3 weeks. peri has indicated his holiday is not booked.

Dalartokat is correct, I read yesterday free fast tracking has lots of pre-requisites. Also I have found a news link about the whole sorry incompetent affair for anyone interested.

Will only fast track if reside in U.K - not applicable for us I'm afraid.
