applying for british passport

hello members,

i have bc ceremony on 29th of february, 2012,
and due to some domestic reasons i have to fly back home on 22nd of march 2012.
now if I apply for the passport on the same day(29 february) i have to send my current and previous passports along, though they send the documents back before issuing letter for an interview, but is there any thing we can do to speed up the process of having passport early

any suggestion is welcome
thanks
regards
ali

Not really. The documents are normally returned after 10-14 days so you should be fine but why don't you apply for a passport when you are back?

thanks juambo for quick reply
actually going to my country via dubai thats y thought to hv british pp so that exit from airport would be easy, because the stay over there is quite long...

OK. I thought that by saying "getting passport early" you meant the current one, not the British.

Getting the British passport in 3 weeks is tricky. See my post here for some tips.
