Hi

I think it's a good idea to start the petition on change.org. The amount of fees they are charging turn around time is too long for these types of applications and they should improve service standards. Others please comment if you have other ideas.

Thanks

[ALI97]

Hi sq
Is your daughter got ILR or she has dependent visa? Please let us know when u got results. ..
I want to apply for my kids as well

[Allesheikh]

Hi Everyone,

I wrote a letter to my MP to contact home office regarding MN1 applications as such simple process taking six months and the amount of fees they are charging is unbelieveable. I also requested to expedite my sons application because I have to travel back home to celebrate eid with my family. I hope I get a response soon, others could request their MP's to get update or progress of your applications or complain about the process.

Good luck everyone

Ali

[tallurid]

Congratulations

I received my daughter approval letter last friday and now waiting for the certificate. I have an emergency and have to go to India this weekend for 3 weeks. My wife and myself are on ILR and my daughter is still on my HSMP which is valid till January 2016. Can I travel with my baby's indian passport and HSMP visa dependant status? And also is there any time scale for the certificate after the approval letter? Once I get the certificate with in how many days I need to apply for passport?

Sorry for many questions and Thanks in advance

Dilip
