Hi,

I applied for my son in July and still waiting for the approval. I was very positive when i applied that i will receive the certificate in begning of nov'15 but it doesn't seems to be the case.

I tried all possible known way to contact them but no response. I also booked my travel but now i am thinking to cancel it .

Good luck guys . please keep us posted if you receive yours.

Thanks,

HI All

I'm getting a bit worried too. I applied on 21 July and still waiting. I submitted the application with my AN1 and even august applicants getting them approval. One of our referee changed phone number and hope that wouldn't cause a problem.

Don't worry too much I have submitted the application for my two daughters on 17 June. Still waiting...
There are people who has applied before me and waiting and on other hand there are also others who applied in Aug and luckily got their approval letters... Just a game of luck.. I have already booked the non- refundable tickets for back home.. paid over 3K and now all on risk... but I am very hopeful and praying to get the approval before next week ( though nothing came in todays post as well).
Good luck

I am also on worried boat, I applied on 29 May 2015 and still waiting. I call home office yesterday, I lied to operator that, it's more then six months (otherwise they don't listen and hang up the phone), she took my details and said a case worker will call me back. I got call back from case worker, she didn't gave me any information because she instantly saw on system that, it's not six months yet but at least she spoke with me, I don't know about other's but my application is still pending, she told me that, there is no progress on it since we gave biometric and she is unable to tell me why is this?
So, what I concluded is - the cases are not delayed because they are doing checks, there is some thing else going on there (which I can't say), that's why some cases send in May are still pending but some June - July cases got their certificate already. The bottom line is "YOU CAN'T DO ANY THING ABOUT IT"

Good luck guys, I know it's frustrating but it's better to wait rather then contacting them because it's just waste of time.

[Seebi]

Yes there is nothing we can do, I have tried calling sent emails out but nothing what so ever. Thinking of taking risk of taking kids with me as the girls still got PBS dependent visa valid till Aug 2016... Though it is a risk as I am no longer on Tier 2 (now ILR) but read few blogs where people manage to come back into the country with little trouble ... I have no problem at Islamabad airport I can handle them but worried about boarder agency over here.. if they stop kids coming back in...

Hi Alex

Applied in July 2015. Biometrics done also in July. I noticed there aren't many entries in July so really wanted to keep everybody's hopes up. Just keep on waiting, really. By the way, friend of mine applied end of July, got hers 3 Nov 2015.

I have a question, as i have planned to go to Pakistan in Jan, if the certificate doesn't arrive before that then can i travel with just the pakistani passport of my daughter, (without any visa on it) , i think it should be OK but need confirmation? has anybody experienced this before?

i am not worried for her return, as my wife and daughter both going to be stay there for 3, 4 months by the time i'll get the certificate and can apply through UK High Commission.

Please assist.

Thanks.

Hi. I am in the same boat as well however i do not recommend that you should travel without having passport. You can travel on Pakistani passport and can apply in BHC in pakistan however as i confirmed from passport office it will take at least 6 months for 1st passport if it applied overseas. they said it will be somewhere between 6 months - 12 months to get a 1st child passport if you apply in Pakistan where as applying here in UK is extremely easy and fast...you can get urgent in 7 days..

hope this will help.

Best wishes for all those are still waiting.

Thanks
