What is the mystery behind faster process of pilot scheme us

[seagul]

Hi all,
For the last 1-2 months we all are observing that all those applicants who applied jointly (naturalization + passport) application are getting unofficially priority treatment. The word unofficially is a correct word to be used here because any act/process without official guidelines is indeed an unofficial act. But why such unofficial treatment is given by HO, is that because passport office has some influence over HO or HO only because of the applicant has paid in advance the passport fee? Why they don't officially declare that that under pilot scheme they will process more faster and it must be shocking for those sticking in long queues already.

We don't know, we don't work for HO or for HMPO (two separate departments).

Be patient, there are at least 2 forum members I have seen who are still waiting from May 2014!!
