Hi all,

Really interesting and promising thread! I am desperately waiting for my sons child renewal, I have googled and actioned everything to try and nudge this along (emails, calls to various numbers, Twitter etc) and have had our travel date added but as of today still hasn’t gone to an examiner. Dates as follows:

Application submitted 5th September
Documents received 11th September

No ID check required as he is 12. We fly on 20th October but Emirates have said we can move with no fees latest of Monday. So we REALLY need to at least know if it approved this week. Judging by the other dates on this thread it could be possible, more positive here than Twitter which is depressing!! Hoping Durham are one of the more organised offices. It does seem people who received the ‘application processing’ update end up with a longer wait? Doesn’t seem as much of that on this thread so fingers crossed. Would love to hear recent posters updates!

Thanks Sam

PS with 6.5 weeks to go I wish I had have just done a fast track application but I remembered the last renewal only took one week and they usually say 3. RIP the glorious Pre Covid days!!
