Your MP is there to help, I'm sure they have had situations like this before therefore will know what to do in these situations.

We just have to hope for the best.

i contacted my mp and he seemed helpful enough, he rang "passport services" as he called them, and they said the waiting time was alot longer than before, at least 6 months is what they said!! so he talked them in2 putting us on the priority list, but we still have not heard anything.
i am not sure that at least 6 months is true as we have seen people getting their decisions within 3 months!

hello

but i see on the u k border the guidance for photo they said that the photo size should be 45 millimeter * 35 milliliter. with grey light color or cream color.

so i want to be sure is this right or you make just passport photo size?
thanks
