The application does not begin to get processed until biometrics have been enrolled, so you've only been waiting 2.5 months so far. Have some patience, it'll probably come through in the next few weeks.

Hi,

our timelines are almost the same.
I am really worried that it either got lost or misplaced or whatever.
Even contacted them to check if they do have it, but they won't tell you anything if the application is within 6 months.
I would have understood it but seeing as people applying almost a month after me already got theirs certificate and passport does not help to calm down.

Application Timeline:
Eligibility criteria: section 1(3) - child born in 09.2014, both parents EEA, mother - PR in 06.2016

Really, really frustrating.

Internal staffing and processes and policies at HO are a black box.
Helpline cannot help.
There is no backdoor or escalation route.

It is quite normal to receive no feedback or updates from HO at all.

There is no rhyme or reason to it and nothing to be done (certainly not before the required 6 months have passed).

No, as you yourself have recognised, not before 6 months.
