What sort of enquiries were you able to make, including with Twitter?Gingerillo wrote: ↑Wed Sep 29, 2021 3:28 pmAfter an eternity, I have just received my confirmation of address email. So they are definitely back on the case (or fed up with my Twitter enquiries).

I'm not sure how much others can edit this, but I'd like to suggest you add a column for the FBR Team number. In earlier posts, it seemed some teams were processing many more applications than other teams.SLwlss wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 4:39 pmThanks so much for this and getting us back on track after the interludes of the past while. I took your list and had some fun (for me) and put it all in a spreadsheet, please let me know if anyone wants anything added but feel free to check add your own dates as they come through.alittlelate wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 1:37 pmI have found this forum useful as many other appear to over the past year or so in working out what the current status is with regards to FBR timelines. Previously a forum member collated all the available timelines periodically and posted them in a succinct manner. Below is my attempt at this, although I think they were more proficient in it than myself. Apologies for a lengthy post.

I'm curious - because I honestly don't know - but does knowing the team help at all? As far as I'm aware you don't find out until you are at the end of the process and I'm not sure we know how applications are allocated to team (is it random, geographic, related to circumstances?)Angelo_2019 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 9:43 pmI'm not sure how much others can edit this, but I'd like to suggest you add a column for the FBR Team number.

I added a title to the blank column between input and calculations (Data sheet), but don't have permission to adjust the width or change the color to blue.
Nice to see something getting process from Q4 of 2019, guess things are moving along a little bit behind the scenes. I'm Feb 2020, so still a bit of a wait for me I imagine.Gingerillo wrote: ↑Wed Sep 29, 2021 3:28 pmAfter an eternity, I have just received my confirmation of address email.

RE printing & sending certificates, the email says the following:
“Please be advised there are still delays with all our services with FBR certificates taking between 6-8 weeks to be printed. Once printed you will receive email notification and documents will then be returned.”
Technically, you're right, none of the timeline or team information on this site will affect when or if the DFA decides to process an application, or affect their decision not to respond to requests other than imminent parenthood.JuniorBatman wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 1:05 pmI'm curious - because I honestly don't know - but does knowing the team help at all?

I'd been collecting the dates before lockdown trying to project my applications (I hadn't restarted, and someone else kindly saved me the effort! I've added my 60 or so sets of details to the spreadsheet because we should be very close to the end so I'll be disappearing). However, I don't recall people mentioning team that often, so if it's useful we should probably change the timeline template people use.
I got the documents sent off just before they closed down (it might even have been a day or so after as I wasn't checking the website every day).wilfio wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 2:15 pmHi everyone,
I made my online FBR application in Oct 2020, however by the time I was able to get the documents witnessed the website updated to say that we shouldn't send our supporting documentation.
It's now coming up to a year since I paid the fee and did the application, however I still have all my documentation at home.
Should I just send it to them anyway? Will it actually be received and get stored somewhere?
Any advice would be much appreciated
That's encouraging! My docs were received on the 21st November 2019 and I haven't heard anything since. Hopefully not long...
Congrats! hopefully the rest of the October 2019 ones will be soon too
Should be with you in a week or so. Mine was.Doddyod wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 9:10 pmPassport finally printed and dispatched today!! Passport card being printed at the moment.
My Dates:
FBR Documents Accepted: 6th June 2019
FBR Confirmation of Address Email: 16th Oct 2020
Added to FBR register: 16th Oct 2020
FBR Congratulations Email: 21st Dec 2020
FBR Certificate Received: 29th Dec 2020
Passport Applied for: 12th Jan 2021
Passport dispatched: 7th October 2021
Passport in my Hands . . . . . . .
Total days, start to end(ish, not received the passport yet ) = 854 days - 2 years 4 months
Anyone got any idea how quickly the delivery, once dispatched usually takes to the UK? Then again, after over 2 years a few more days should not be a worry
