Called them up and they mention that they have raised the issue. This is the typical response I have received in the last 3 days. Is there any other way round. I could wait longer but have already booked in for the passport.

Hi Fab , Did you call or write them an email. Its really frustrating honestly. I did call them up and it seems they just dont care. I have booked in a passport appointment and seems nothing is going as per plan. :(

I thought it would be nice to post my application processing time for those who are still waiting.

Eligibility criteria: Child of now British Citizen 1(3)
Current nationality: Polish
Method of application: Post - Special 1 Day Delivery
Date of application: 06/08/2014
Payment method: Cheque
Date of receipt by UKBA: 07/08/2014
Date of acknowledgment: received 22/08/2014 (dated 17/08/2014)
Date of debit or clearance of fees: 21/08/2014
Date approval + documents received: 12/11/2014 (dated 07/11/2014)
Date of certificate received: 12/11/2014 (dated 07/11/2014)

Also this site made me a bit worried when I sent my application without a passport of a parent and then I read on here it was expected. The guide doesn't say anything about it and now I can confirm that a passport of a parent is not required.

Documents I sent: Application form, UK birth certificate, Marriage certificate + English sworn translation, child's passport
