what the other person is saying is: SHE IS NOT the only person applying, thousands of applications are processed daily. :)
For anybody effected, I hope that my Surinder Singh Route Information Pages help.

if you need to save time and do not want to give passport to DVLA you can go to DVLA office in Wimbledon and process your application same day that way they will verify the passport and give it back to you and licence will follow by post within two weeks...
