Daughters application denied on 25th September, what do I do for a mr? And how long are we looking at in terms of waiting times 😞

I submitted a COC SD Mid September, I didn’t realise they were backlogged so bad, it’s shocking to see how long everyone is waiting. Looking at the calendar 25 weeks takes me to after my sons renewal date, I know renewal forms have been sent out and I will pretty much be completing these and sending them straight back but it will contain the same evidence I sent in for COC. Is anyone in a similar circumstance?

There seems to be 2 Dla pages set up, this is the link to the thread everyone is using.

Ah thank you! I did think I was posting in the one being used but my browser obviously refreshed and bought me back to this one x

No worries, I didn’t want you to wonder why there wasn’t many people posting, coc are taking forever, I’m currently 25 weeks in to a coc, some people are waiting 21 weeks some are waiting 29-30 weeks 🙄

Think its because whoever set the new thread up callled it the same as this one so causing some confusion.
