I called today even though I'm 9w tomorrow. I know its still early days, but just wanted to see has it progressed past the queue when I rang mid April. No, still in a holding queue. They weren't rude, just stated it as it was and said the usual speel of 25 weeks but can be quicker. We rang for forms mid Feb, and scan date was 1/04. Still a long way to go.
I'm watching and reading how everyone else is doing everyday.

No I don't think that's the case I read my.letter wrong and put my renewal in late ugh 😑 so they received it on the 13th of last month they norm do it on the week of I believe, they said they would mark it as urgent last week, but I'm so nervous guys altho they have all the details and information they don't always to it into account
