ATPL upgrade - in person?

[Fursty Ferret]

Need to get an ATPL upgrade sorted in a hurry. Company is saying that it requires a visit in person to the CAA at Gatwick to drop off documents.

Is this the case? Is it now a same-day service, or do they sit on it for a few weeks and then post the stuff back?

Thanks in advance.
