I have applied for visa for my son (born this year - ICT dependent) but have not got the BRP even after 22 working days even when the decision letter has been received but we did not get the tracking details for BRP. After 10 working days of decision letter, I have raised the no-BRP card received request on gov.uk thrice now but no response at all after 5 working days. Called UKVI as well to escalate and have been told to wait for 10 working days for response. Contacted the local MP as well who has got in touch with UKVI but UKVI will respond in 20 working days. Not sure if anything else can be done to know the status of BRP card. Please suggest.
