Hi Sammy

Why don't you call them and ask. How did you pay you can also check your statement if money is deducted from your account if you paid by card or cheque. Good luck

Hi Ali,

Ive applied same time as yourself. Can you let me know where to make fast track passport appointment please. I would like to schedule and appointment too hoping to receive my son's certificate soon.

Thanks

Allesheikh wrote:Hi BSR80 & ZeeAli

Fast track forms are same you can get it from post office. Just tick option for fast track. Fees is £87 something and you don't have to take your child for appointments. When you book your appointment they will ask who will be attending. Fast track applications take one week. I've just booked my son appointment for 1 September on the basis that I will receive my son certificate before that finger crossed. They did ask me when I'm traveling. You have to take completed application form, 2 photos and supporting documents. Passport will be returned by corrier service but I will suggest to tick option for Royal Mail special delivery option is on the form.

You can book appointments for next couple days it's not very busy. I hope this helps and good luck.

Thanks
Ali

Hi guys, I've been a silent viewer on this thread. I applied for my daughter's mn1 registration on the 1st April and got the certificate today. I sent the old format form, paid the old fee and no biometrics was required as HO got the application before 06 April 2015. Here is my timeline.

Eligibility criteria :section1(3)
Date and Method of application: 01/04/2015 NCS Haringey
Date of receipt by UKBA: 02/04/2015
Date of debit of fees: 24/04/2015
Date of receipt of acknowledgement: 24/04/2015
Date of biometric letter: not applicable
Date biometrics enrolled: not applicable
Date of approval on certificate : 29/07/2015
Date of approval letter: 11/08/2015
Date of receipt of registration certificate: 13/08/2015

Hopefully this will get moving quickly now but 4 months wait meant no going on holiday and an appointment at passport office for a fast track passport application for a family wedding this Sep.

Hi, Anyone who request documents back please help as i am likely to request the original documents back.
When we request all the documents back form home office do they send all passports including applicant and BRP cards?
If they send all the documents, do they request them back again to process the application...as my child will be away for 3 months?

nj26 · Post by **nj26** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 9:48 pm

Hi

The postman just dropped it in the normal post so they sent it by normal delivery.

when I attended the Ncs appointment, they told me no need to include Special delivery envelope....wish I had now.

Furthermore guys DO NOT BOOK APPOINTMENT FOR PASSPORT OFFICE VIA www.passports-office.co.uk website. Only call the Passport Adviceline on 0300 222 0000 for an appointment. The personnel at the passport office said you can only book appointments via tel and that website has nothing to do with them and it's a scam (check other posts on Google about this fraudulent website).

Once again good luck to everyone and have a lot of patience...

I've requested just my passport to be returned (via online application), however, they have returned all the documents including my kids' birth certificates, marriage certificate, etc.

In the letter from Home Office, it is stated that they might request your original documents back. In such a case, they will write to you. So it really depends on your case.

In terms of timeline, took exactly 10 days from the date of request - they have used my pre-paid Special Delivery envelope to return my documents back. Not happy with that, but what can we do.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info Mikeg, I rang UKBA today and asked if they will request documents back again. The person i spoke said as it is over 4 months they might not request them again. I have completed online request today..will see how many days it will take.

Application for my daughters' MN1 have been with the HO since April 9th. They were lost until July 2nd, fees taken and biometrics were given in early July too. Got a letter on Wednesday saying the previous biometrics were no usable and I had to go and redo them today. I'm glad to say that the Post Office did not charge me again for resubmission of photos and prints for my two girls.

Hope these work out and we get our certificates soon.

Hi Everyone

Please update if anyone has received approval this week. Seems like no approvals this week.

I also got a response from my FOI request. I will post the link shortly but for info from Jan 14 to 31 Mar 15 HO decided 44000 applications and no staff is relocated to HMPO. There are 196 case workers dealing with nationality applications.

Thanks

Hi all
Just a quick question pls.
I am due to go for my ILR application at a PEO office soon but I am not including my UK born child's name on it as I understand I can apply for his citizenship via form MN1 sec 3(1)
My question is his existing leave to remain expired in mid September .do I have to submit his naturalisation application before that it do I have to apply for his passport before that?
As reading people's experiences here suggests that there is long wait .
I am concerned if it is taking that long his leave will expire before he gets his passport.

Thanks

Hi,

If your son is UK born, he should be entitled to British citizienship under 'Section 1(3)' via the MN1 form once you have ILR. His existing leave to remain wouldn't matter as soon as you gain ILR for him to live in the UK (he wouldn't become illegal or stateless as he is born in the UK and you have ILR), but the problem would arise if you want to take him abroad and come back to the UK.

So my suggestion would be to apply for his British Citizenship Registration as soon as you have ILR. Currently the HO is heavily backlogged and have just started clearing March/early April applications, but things are likely to speed up in September after the school holiday period comes to an end. Hope this helps...
