Hi,
I have applied for my son through NCS Sutton on 29th October 2015 ,still no acknowledgement receipt ,no deduction of fees :(I have no clue of what's going on at HO.
Did anyone apply in October and got any acknowledgement?
Should I mail HO or wait for a few days?
Thanks

Hi, I applied for my son on 29.10.15 and received acknowledgement on 20.11.15. Could there have been a delay in the NCS forwarding your application to the HO?
I submitted my son's application together with my own, don't know if that makes a difference. Hopefully you will receive your acknowledgement soon.

My son's timeline:

Eligibility: Section 3(5)
Method of application: Post
Date of application: 29.10.15
Application received by HO: 30.10.15 (Royal Mail tracking)
Date of debit of fees: 18.11.15
Date of acknowledgement: 18.11.15 (received 20.11)
Date biometrics given: 21.11.15

Still No Update.. I even contacted my MP but got a reply from him that since it has not been 6 months, he would not intervene and has asked me to wait... Anyone any suggestions ? I don't have any hurry but still was expecting it by November.. It's December already. Don't know when will my number come

[Alex62]

I applied around 10th of July, biometrics done 29th of July.
been waiting up until now. This is just so daunting. I need to travel with my child ASAP. And we have been waiting for so long. its nearing the end of the year now. The home office should have a tracking system , where people are able to track the progess of thier child's application online or something. To at least know whats going on .

[Seebi]

I am still waiting for two of my girls certificates since 17 June. I called home office almost on regular basis and emails from work and personal address but no help what so ever. .. On phone as soon as they find out its not full 6 months waiting yet they don't proceed and keep repeating call back after 6 months.

[rukmesh]

This situation is a bit ridicules.. I am not in a hurry but still 4-5 months for a form like MN1 ? After paying £750 ? hahahaha.. Someone is not working efficiently for sure .. Why cant they have a same day service for this also ? I would have definitely taken the service

Wish me luck and Wish everyone who are still waiting

******Biometric problem at post office
Strange thing happened when I took my 2 year old child for biometric enrolment at post office, guy at post office took 15-20 minutes and didn't seems like competent enough and said to me that biometrics are rejected because of 3 failed attempts ( reason was that child was moving and not standing still ) and we have to still send home office of this failed report and I still have to pay £19.20 fee which I did, he also said that his supervisor had override the system and put that it was a child, and home office can still consider the application without being any picture taken ,, also finger prints were also not taken because child is only 2 years old
I was advised to email biometric team if want more information about this problem, I emailed them on Monday 21/09/15 still waiting their reply ..
Anyone has experienced similar problem ? And what could be options now , will they still consider the application or it will only delay and biometrics needs to be taken again ?
Please advise ......
Thank you

hi there

anyone knows if they have mentioned processing times any where?
i have applied on 4th nov 2015 still no acknowledgment from them
should i email them now or should i wait another week?

thanks

Hi Ali ,
I have also applied on 4th Nov through NCS Hounslow for my 3 yr old Kid .
The Fee hasn't been deducted yet but I am hopeful that it would be deducted coming week based on the time line posts in this forum as most Fee deduction is between 15-20 days after application submission.
If you get your fee deducted pls let me know and I will also share if my application progresses to next stage.
Cheers
Anand

Update : Fee has been deducted from my credit card on 4th Dec.Now waiting for bio-metric letter
Hope to get it this week.
