You keep on repeating the same information. If you want us to help you then answer my specific questions..

It has got nothing to do with your wife visa.

Hi

I am a British citizen otherwise then by descent and my daughter was born in Lahore. She acquired british citizenship under section 2(1)(a) of BNA 1981 and as such I had two option for her

1. Either apply for her British Passport or
2. Apply for Certificate of Entitlement to Right of Abode

I opted for option 2 as option 1 was taking minimum of 6 month time from Pakistan. The application form and supporting documents were pretty straightforward but I just want to know I want to apply for my son ROA visa on his Pakistani passport before my wife spouse visa but a bit confuse that should be ok if I apply for my son ROA visa before my wife spouse visa or I apply both together please give me advice

Can any one give me advice

Just to be clear, who rejected the application and told you? Was it a formal written refusal?

I suspect it was someone from Gerry's, rejecting the application verbally?

If I'm correct, then consider making a complaint.

Vinny

OP application was not rejected but was verbally refused to be accepted at BHC Islamabad. He was advised to apply for British passport directly. He is travelling this week to submit ROA application via Gerry's.

Then the BHC Islamabad staff member was insufficiently trained. As far as I'm aware, there's no requirement that a British citizen must apply for a British passport. Although they may have been trying to save the applicant some money. A British passport application is much cheaper.

what documents do we have to submit for this form?

hi lynxukauq plz contact me on this email adress when ever you come online i have to apply for my son adeelzaidi306@hotmail.com caz i am unable to pm you caz of newly joined member
