I missed that 555. It's unlike London to delay when the correct documents have been provided so it's right to dig around to see if something was missed.

That sounds like you've covered it, it's the first time I've seen this much detail of the process.

That depends on which country you are applying from as some Embassies have a fast turnaround (e.g. London) while others are very poor (e.g. Paris)

you don't need an agent as a Non-O Visa will allow you to get your bank account needed for the extension

As you were not married at the time of birth and your daughter is under 8 you need to go to the family court to get full parental rights which is required by Immigration to get a 12 month extension. Is that what you mean by "went through the courts to legitimise my daughter" because I thought that was expensive and took some time?

Where did you apply, what travel date did you put and what is the current status (pending approval maybe?)
