just received this 15mins ago for the British High Commission - Joseph Portelli UK in Malta - British High Commission Valletta David, The Department of Citizenship and Expatriate Affairs (DCEA) has given us the following information which includes confirmation that residency status is not affected by any delays on the part of the DCEA.

If you have already requested an appointment, please do not send another email or letter to chase. Your residency status is not affected by any delays on the part of the DCEA.
The Department is also prepared to accept requests for appointments either by ordinary mail or email. Write to: eResidence Section, Department of Citizenship and Expatriate Affairs, 3 Castile place, 2nd Floor, Valletta OR email:eresidence.mfa@gov.mt.
