I actually send them both, a normal certificate and than got one attested from MOFA and Pak embassy Dublin and arrgued on multiple occasions with them to consider the attested one but they said it dosnt matter they will even verify my attested one from the union council. They one thing u could do is...

Sorry but they r verifying cert from Pakistan which is causing delay. I spoke to a senior guy after making loads of complains, who told me they sent verification request to there honerary counsolate in Pakistan who than verifies it from local union councils n they r extreamly slow.

No idea all they said was they have picked around 35 #lucky people to verify there birth cert and keep them in limbo for more than a year

Any update for anyone guys since they open again last week? They r probably going to clear there renewals backlog in next 1-2 months and by than who know we r again in a lockdown.

No update, no refund, no idea when they will open again and start processing but Congrats atleast urs will be processed possibily within a week once they will open which could in Feb or March or even April untill the Level 5 is in place.

Another lockdown from tomorrow, could be for 2-6 months so will check with u guys after 6 months so, anyway lets see

I just looked on the website it states, Submit the request in writing or by email. Be clear enough so that we understand what records are being requested. In cases where we cannot understand what records are being requested, we will help you to identify the records you want. State in your letter/ema...

I totally agree with above sometimes u need to push them hard but i dont think hiring a solicitor by one person will resolve the issue for rest. If I will push them through a solicitor they will only get my file sorted and leave rest again in limbo plus they have a big excuse of covid these days but...

Cant really do anything other than just keep on bothering each department to get things done. N if they cancel again only option is to apply again until either they take back our naturalisation cert or issue our passport. Anyway the thing is they will eventually issue the passport but it might take ...

No update n i dont believe there will be any this year or probably even next year.

Online tracker will continue to progress and than become static at some point or even move backwards in my experience.

Welcome guys, the requests r sent to Honary Consulate in Karachi so they r the one dealing with it. If u ready previous post by Taki who got an email from Passport office stating above.

I have emailed the consulate but no ans. No update from passport office.

Do u know of any other person who in same situation have got passport recently other than the one person u mentioned last week?

Yeah i think we should contact the consulate in Karachi to request them atleast to send the verification now.

I think they means that they have received correspondence for other peoples queries and will contact u once ur query correspondence is received. So finally we know the request is gone to there consulate in Pakistan n ofcourse the delay is from people sitting in that consulate and they have been prov...

Well it seems like just another strategy to delay time n keep some in the loop otherwise if they r verifying every single certificate how is it possible that most r sorted in time n we few r still waiting.

I hope so. They did say there has been some progress, anyway thats good news so if things r moving now.

Its just 3 of us here n 1-2 more that I know of, no one that I know of have got there passport so far after re-applying. No refund yet as well.

If someone else have any update please do share n update here once u get ur passport.

I contacted them n they said there is some progress to this issue but havnt give me a definite yes or no answer how long further so lets see. Probably we should check with ur local union council if they have got any request for verification?

Looks like there has been a little work done regarding verification or atleast thats what the office is saying now so lets see. Anyone else got any update from them?

The information is based on official website information. Can my application be refused? If the Passport Service is not satisfied that you have proved your identity or citizenship status, your application may be refused. However, the Passport Service will normally contact you to request further docu...

Well they can absolutely refuse to issue a passport for any reason and leave u to either give up or waste years n years running a case in court. Regarding delay in birth registration I dont think it will have any effect as my registration was done within 3 weeks of birth. All in all it could be just...

I know of 2-3 more people atleast who r in same situation although I have a very limited friends circle. I know they were closed but the thing is according to them they have already requested verification from Pak authorities and waiting for there response so the process was still going on even thou...

I think we all should email the Minister of Foreign Affairs regarding this issue. His email can be found on his website. I will send an email to raise this issue and if he gets enough emails he might look into this. Even in a pandemic this delay can not be justified and we need to raise our voice ot...

The tracker is working, they probably havnt looked at ur papers and updated the file yet. It will probably be updated in few days, dont worry our applications r not a priority for them as u would have imagined by now. Also I contacted them regarding refund for previous application and she just said ...
