I'm in the same situation, me and my wife got ILR and waiting for both daughters Registeration Certificate, they can't travel as they wont be allowed to enter in UK as there previous visa status is not valid anymore, therefore you have to wait for the Registration Certificate

But I have read that if we have acknowledgment letter and birth certificate , they can????

Could you please quote me the authentic reference from the Home Office document about your argument. Thanks

[Fuzail]

I have read on different forums not on home office document. that's why I am confused. but a lot of people entered in Uk as they satisfied the immigration officer by showing these documents. I still have doubt.

The day parents get thier ILR on 10 years basis or any other category, dependents previous status become invalid therefore they need a valid status to travel back to UK, therefore it is not advisable to travel out of UK unless you get their British Passports. Precaution is better than cure so to avoid hassle/hurdle it is better not to take step which will create problem for you especially when traveling with the kids.

Getting through to immigration will be second stage but without valid passport or visa Airline will not allow you to board the plane.
I am in similar situation and have seen all possible ways, you must have a valid British Passport or visa to board a plan and enter in UK. Don't risk! If you got trap by UKBA it will be issue forever.

Totally agree with mtahiriqbal13, now ukba check ur status while u take exit from UK and if somehow you manage to board on plane the authorities in Pakistan won't let u travel to UK without a valid UK visa or British passport.

I am also in a same boat. I have to travel by the end of Nov...and hope full that we'll get response back by the mid of Nov as currently it looks speed up as there are a lot of approvals coming for Naturalisations applications.

@munna007....i completely agree with you. Authorities in Pakistan will never let anyone board on plane without a valid VISA or travel document. Registration certificate or application acknowledgement is not a valid travel document.

Is it possible to apply for 1st Child Passport in UK Embassy in Pakistan? If i travel with my Kids then will take their certificates later ?

Biometric update

Application Timeline
Eligibility criteria: section 1(3); - baby born in UK (when parents are in Tier-1)
Method of application: NCS (York) - £40 fee (7th Oct 2015)
Date of receipt by UKBA: N/A (NCS)
Date of debit of fees: 23-oct-2015
Date of enrolment of biometric: 29-Oct-2015
Date of receipt of acknowledgement: N/A (NCS)
Date of receipt of approval: Waiting

Date of receipt of registration certificate: Waiting

Documents:

2. parents ILR card
3. Child Passport + child Tier1 visa stamp on passport
4. MN1 filled form

I was asked as why I didn't get a referee who is engaged with child professionally. I told the situation as the baby is too young (18 months) and didn't get any such chance. The council staff called up Home office and confirmed it's ok as the child was young and said would send letter to me if anything is in need.

Its gone quiet again. Please has anyone received approvals or registeration certificates, especially from July applications.
I know they say 6 months. I thought that was a mere estimation. To have other peoples lives and plans put on hold for half of a year (6 months). Is there any way or anything than can be done. Any sugesstions will be appreciated. Thanks .

I think only waiting people come back to forum and update (apart from few)....
I applied in May still waiting and you can't do anything, I tried all possible way even send email to their complaints department but they said they can't do anything if the case is within 6 months time. I know it's very frustrating, especially when you have to travel - I have to travel but couldn't because of all this process. Hope we all get our applications soon..

[Fuzail]

any update from people who applied in July. If they received certificates or not.
We have reserved flights , so bit worried.
