OK. So from the horses mouth... the VFS Global clerk/officer confirmed this week that on average British passports are being processed, from application date to delivery date, in between 5 to 9 weeks just as per the reports in this thread.
So, from reading this thread, nobody who applied at Trendy and whose payments were accepted has had to wait the full 11 weeks or longer.
Has anybody any recent (February/March) experiences in addition to those already posted?
