IELTS exam result withheld

My son has written IELTS exam on 15th Sept'18. The results are normally declared in 15 days. While most of the students were got the result, my son's result was withheld. Even after several mails, I am not getting the reason to withheld and the expected time to release the result. Now it is almost two and half months over and college application process is already started. Any suggestions to deal with this issue are most welcome.

Thanks for the feedback.

I approached the local IELTS office. But they are depending on the head office in London and could not give any details. They could not able to tell the reason for with held or the expected date to get the result.

You could go to the test centre in person and see what they can tell you; also, the below links have some useful info; you could check them if you haven't already; they list the reasons results are withheld for some people; it has happened to a few other people too and apparently its normal for it to take anywhere from a week to even months as in your case, so I'd say you might just have to wait it out until further notice and hopefully it'll be released soon; also, it'd have been better to not schedule the test so close to the university admission deadlines; it'd have allowed some margin for unexpected scenarios like these; best of luck :-)
