Re: Delays in first passport for child born overseas

Nice one! I still haven't got mine or don't see any possibility of getting it soon.

All I get is I apologize and I empathize. If only I could walk to the Airport and tell them the same when they...

Re: Delays in first passport for child born overseas

Not sure to laugh or cry about the whole issue. I have decided to write to Ed Miliband and his party so that they can ask T May as to what she means by getting ETD.
Even we had 10000 people more...

Re: Delays in first passport for child born overseas

I've spoken to the Liverpool team. The guys who pick up the call are rude. Insist that you want to speak to their manager. The managers will give you the whole story of your passport.

Thanks. I am certain that they are working on my application. I will now have to wait till my local passport office sends the counter signatory's passport pages to UK.

Re: Delays in first passport for child born overseas

I've been waiting for around 10 weeks now. 10 days for them to send your passport ? This whole thing is a joke.
When did you apply for your passport and when was the payment taken ?

Re: Delays in first passport for child born overseas

Yes I believe it is for people who are not in UK. Like if you are settled else where and applying for your kids first passport you have to go to the embassy.

Re: Delays in first passport for child born overseas

They have started asking people to go to the local embassy with the baby. This is a new delaying tactic from them.
