Hey

I am waiting since early December (applied on 4th December) and haven’t heard anything yet. Neither home office told me that my case is complicated after multiple chasing emails.

So something around 4-5 months!

Can I ask anyone in hear if they have received theirs in the past 2 weeks!

Hi all

Does anyone know, where and how I can get the Declaration by Professional Person done?
I don't have a teacher anymore and not sure if my GP would do it.

Is there any easy way I can get this done?

Thanks
Feri

Thanks a lot, believe it or not I contacted three different solicitors and none of them accepted to do that for me. I have contacted my bank manager too but they don't do it either, I'm so stressed out now as I need to apply for a Travel Document as soon as possible.
Could you or someone please provide me with a solicitor's details in London who can actually do this for me?

Thanks
Feri

I'm in the same boat too, I did my online application on Feb 26 and sent my documents on Feb 27th. HO received on Feb 28. Still I haven't received a confirmation and I really need my BRP back. I sent HO an email asking them to confirm receipt of my application though. Hoping I get my BRP back at least this month. Also it's my first time applying for a CTD.

I'm just tired of waiting, and to think that they no longer ask for the BRP. I almost regret applying immediately after getting my refugee status

Hi everyone,

Today I’m really maxed up with this game, everybody here waiting more than even 70 working days,
the 70 working days is already ridiculous, the home office need to look again to that process it is a paid service for people already have the right to live in the UK.
issuing travel document only need 10 minute
my question is anyone how we can complain about this service? what the process? and how we can do it?
Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,
Applied online 6/1/18 for renewal
Document sent 9/1/18
Acknowledgement letter received 22/1/18
Still waiting for new TD
Thought applying online was quicker & also thought renewal would get processed quicker too but it certainly isn't!
Has anyone applied in Januaey got their TD yet?
