Does anybody here has applied from pakistan ?any Idea about how long it gonna take and is there any way I can get my documents back as all my original document are at bhc inculuding my passports and I'd card . I need to get then back v soon . I have been trying put bhc number but the staff is quite rude n they dont even listen ... Any kind of help/ info would be highly appreciated ...

You have made a big mistake applying for child's first passport from pakistan. I personally know people who have been waiting for 1 year plus.

You should have applied for child's dependent visa, and then once child was in Uk then applied for passport.

It could possibly take a very long time. Could take an eternity. Its a stupidly long wait. There is nothing you can do to speed up the process, apart from wait to hear from BHC, and providing them whatever documents of information they ask for.
