Hi all,

I have sent my first British passport application. I had also sent my first expired passport I initially travelled to UK. Since my current passport and previous passport with ILR are with HOme office in support of a family dependant application. Hence I was unable to send my current and previous passport with ILR with my British passport application. I had attached a letter with my app explaining this.passport advise line said that they only require first passport you entered with. But the guidance says that all uncancelled passport must be sent. My question is will IPS still ask for my current and previous passport with ILR to process my British passport application. I am worried?? Any comments please.

You don't have to worry at all plus you have been cristal with the IPS you already answered their questions if they have some. as far as you said " I had attached a letter with my app explaining this" "current passport and previous passport with ILR are with HOme office in support of a family dependant application."

So no worries
