I faxed it over even though they insisted on having the original letter. Next day I called them and they gave me the interview Ref No over the phone so I was able to book it straight away.sianlouise94 wrote:Monika how long after sending your employer letter in did you then receive your interview letter? mine was delayed too due to me only supplying a short birth certificate?Monika_33 wrote:Well, I received my British passport last week, so it's all over now, but would not rate very high the Post office check & send service. On another note, I wanted my passport and docs to be sent to my office and the lady at the Post office just gave me a blank sheet of paper and made me write my address there.
HMPO delayed my application as they wanted a formal letter from the employer to prove that I work there etc.
All in all I would say - Carefully complete the from and send it yourself.
However, please note that I did not call the general hep line, but a tel No beginning with 0845, so was able to speak directly with the passport office. Sorry, but I don't have this number on me.
You should be OK for your hols - plenty of time. I had also chased them as had booked my hols in advance...
