No I know, nothing to say about lost reference number until I asked for about the 4th time why it was still on processing. The service is totally unacceptable & heads should roll for what they’re doing to do many people
max1978ParticipantI gave them mine on 21st April, didn’t realise I had to give to them but did email just incase but email was never actioned. I’ve spoken to someone today & the 10 week wait start from the date that reference number was added which unfortunately goes past my holiday date. So annoying as I sent off application 14 weeks before holiday, if I’d had known about Reference number I’d have called them sooner
max1978ParticipantGet your reference number in ASAP as it will not progress without it
max1978ParticipantGood luck Susie
Yea I totally agree twobob or we should be at least notified of what the issue is so we know what we need to rectifymax1978ParticipantIt took me an hour after getting moved to different departments & waiting, ask to speak to the progress team
max1978ParticipantYes they need this reference number. Try the Newport office 01633 285419
max1978ParticipantI only found this out yesterday as had a spare hour to sit on hold 🤦🏼♀️ Hopefully you’ll be ok. I was also under the impression it’s 14 days before travel time unless like you said they have changed that. Fortunately I still have 7 weeks until I fly but I didn’t want to take anything to chance.
max1978ParticipantDid you take a note of reference number? Call & ask to speak to progress team & make them put the reference number on application as that’s probably what’s holding it up
max1978ParticipantOf course
max1978ParticipantI applied 12 weeks in advance, others on here have applied even earlier & still having issues with it. Think they need to make the timelines a bit clearer. Good luck
max1978ParticipantAh if it’s renewals then probably not, my daughters has been stuck on docs received for weeks due to awaiting my birth certificate to be linked so thought may have been something similar
max1978ParticipantYes you’ve missed the dreaded processing stage which is good news
max1978ParticipantDoes the application need a document to be linked? E.G mother’s birth certificate for 2 or more kids applications?
max1978ParticipantAt least you managed to get through to them, did they give you an expected time for passport?
max1978ParticipantGreat news
