Yeah, really pleased they turned up while I was in the Philippines.
They sent me an email but my phone was off and did not read it until after they had turned up on that day. They just turned up one morning by DHL.... like I said, I thought they were going to contact me for an interview. When I called the Passport Office in Liverpool, they said I might require an interview and the kids would have to be there with me. Maybe that's just a random thing, but we did that before with the birth certificates. Maybe having them helped with not having an interview.
Next thing is to do the TB test again, as the last one my wife had has run out, so my wife is doing that next week, and then we will file the visa application in March when I get back....hopefully!
I am guessing, going by how long my kids ones took (9 months) yours are only weeks away from turning up.
