Everytime i call i get still checks with overseas unit
Involved local mp and emailed durector general off passport office and lodged a complaint with the passport resolution team also spoke to the examiner to escalate with her manager which she promised but still get the same reply

We are dealing with the same case , my vingette sticker would expire on 22nd july and i have no idea wat to do, i have collected my son's passport and my daughter's passport is lost ... i am in really big trouble

Zainy11

Have you contacted the passport office? What are they saying?

Uroos.atif

Yeah ... they are doing enquiry and we dont knw hw long wud enquiry take , we r just helpless

Faisal1986

I need help av exhausted all the contacts i could think of the reply i got lately is
DUE TO EXTREME WEATHER IN DHAKA ITS CAUSING DELAY AND THEY HIGHLY DEPEND ON THERE OVERSEAS ALLIES TO CONDUCT THER CHECKS.
Everything is now so advance that each department could verify via electronically dont no why they wasteing time

You have two options:

1) Travel to the UK to collect the BRP and then return to await your child's passport.

2) Let the vignette expire and apply for a new vignette when you receive your child's passport.

Faisal1986

I understand tge option but surely they should consider best intrest of a child because the last thing you want to do is leave the child behind .
I will be filing a petition very soon and take the matter further and also get media involve because 100s of british are suffering in our situation
Some one has to raise tge alarm for our cries to be heard.

Tell me when and I'll be the first to sign it!

Just in the process of emailing and writing letter to Rt hon brandon lewis for immigration and visa department his the last person then am going legal if no progress also requested hmpo to fi d out how they are applying pressure internally to the overseas department yo get results

Zainy11

Hey, did they find out what happened to ur dau passport? Did u receive it?

Faisal1986

Just got a letter from mp that my child application has been escalated to the parlimentary correspondence unit and that they are liaising with home office now and that as a matter of urgency they will let my mp no by 10 working day that my child passport is issued or not if not then they will look into option duch as delaying my wife travel date.

Do any one now that once a passport is issued do my child need no entry required stamp to exit the country with her passport or do they stamp that when they issue passport

ANSWER

Result in delay due to extreme weather condition (floods) that officers could not commute to office properly to carry out ther job however
Her application will be dealt by 10 working days and hope to issue passport by next week if not then delay wife travel and home office will deal the case with ther overseas colleague everday till the 10 day is up

Faisal1986

It make me angry because the reason they gave for delay
Surely its a lame excuse.
Now is the season wer ther will be floods but what about march april may june.
Plus they are looking into her application now it looks like it was left to a corner all that time

Zainy11
