So what does it mean when they can't find you in the system?. The guy I spoke to told me to call back on Thursday. ?????? Don't know what I'm gonna do if they haven't even started the process on my passport. I'm stressing now!!:unsure:
What do they think is going to happen on Thursday -- no tea break or something? Oooooh that was snarky but I am so annoyed. Right now I would pay $500 extra to have my passport within 7 days. Maybe they should offer that as an option. |

Someone else on here had trouble because they were spelling the name wrong. I would call them back and have them search for you another way (i.e. date and place of birth).

Re: Passport Delays
It is really frustrating I know. At least they had my info correct but they received that thing beg June. On this site I have seen people who have sent them later and got them sooner.
I have a sick relative and it is getting a little hairy waiting this. I don't want to arrive at the funeral apologizing for the passport office. |

Re: Passport Delays
Honestly I did not want to make a huge fuss but maybe I should. I suppose now if I call back they'll think I am making it up.
Mine was a name change too but back to my maiden name. I have had 2 passports in my maiden name already. |
Re: Passport Delays
Give it a few days than call again, it's seems as if those who have been making the effort to call every few days have gotten their passports sooner.... It's worth a shot, couldn't get any worse.:fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed:.

Re: Passport Delays
Ok so I just called care line again, and now I'm in the system. Yesterday I wasn't but i am now. The uninterested Scottish guy said that I'm in the system and they are putting my info on my passport and it's now processing. I asked him how long does it take from that point for it to be finished and sent to me, he told me he doesn't know and that someone will be contacting me in 2 days to further discuss any issues. I'm pretty sure they are not going to contact me and that I'm going to have to call again. :fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed::f ingerscrossed: it's not another month before I see my passport. Seeing as I have travel plans in 15days. This doesn't seem promising, but they could also surprise me and I might get it in the nick of time. :eek:

Re: Passport Delays
My passport arrived a few days ago because of the helpful comments on this forum. Here's my timeline:
June 11: Mailed passport June 13: Passport received July 7: CC Charged July 14: Called Careline (spoke to very unhelpful guy with Scottish accent) July 27: Wrote email to MP (replied that he contacted agency to speed up processing) August 1: Started to feel very stressed (UK flights with family booked on 19th Aug) August 2: Called Careline again. Spoke to a friendly Scottish guy (Scot?) who first told me to expect passport in mid Sept. When I said I had a vital job interview in UK, he gave me a reference number and told me to expect passport in a few days. August 5: passport arrived :) Huge sigh of relief! Hope this is helpful to someone. |

Had planned a trip to Bermuda ( but not bought tickets thankfully) end of August but I suspect that will not be happening.

Re: Passport Delays
That's great. When you called monday what did they say to you?..... Was you on their system?
|
Re: Passport Delays
Yes, I was in their system, said they would escalate it and gave me a ref number - also said phone back Thursday or Friday for update ( didnt need to though as it arrived!)
