Can I make the Identity Interview on my wife's behalf?
She gave them call and they ask something but she don't understand everything

She don't have the letter but they sent it out two days ago so she try to book without. we didn't use check and send service

No you can't. They will provide assistance if it is needed but she will have to do the interview herself. You will likely not be allowed to sit with her either.

Makes no difference if you used check and send or not. The interview is a separate process.

I mean just for book... just to book her interview only

You can try. They will tell you whether they can or will speak to you or not.

No they did not let me!

She will struggle in the interview if she is struggling just to book the appointment. They don't ask complicated questions when you phone to book the interview.

Have you tried putting the phone on speaker phone so you can hear what they are asking her and you can then direct her (silently) to the letter or what they are asking for? How did she pass her English language test (speaking and listening)?

well she manage it this time and they didn't even ask about the letter ! maybe it was the accent initially .. broad scot guys both times prior but she managed it this time with loudspeaker.


Well she's booked for next Thursday morning so hopefully everything is ok. I will keep you updated.

Glad it is all sorted for her now

I do indeed celebrate Christmas so thank you.

Have a wonderful festive season too and keep us updated on her progress.

Ok so my wife did her interview and she say it went well ....

At the end they said that they will complete their checks and passport will usually take a week but allow 10 days for new year and weekend.

does this mean everything is going well.

why they say they will complete checks ? I don't understand.
what happens now? do we just wait?

It usually arrives within 3 days or so after interview. She might get a text saying it is 'being printed'.

Unless she completely messed up her answers (yes, it does happen), all should be good.

Oh no I heard full interview as the room was near to the waiting area. we got there 20 minute early but they called her earlier than expected and was out by original appointment time

Does everybody receive text message when passport is printed or only just some people??

My Mrs received this email yesterday:

Dear Mrs Erdogan,

Thank you for your enquiry.

I can confirm that your passport was passed for printing on 31/12/2015 and delivery will be attempted within 4-5 working days.



Does this mean it's already been printed or not yet?

It means exactly what it says Being printed and will be delivered in the next few days.

Sounds like its being/been printed & will arrive within the coming week.

Thankyou CR001 and Noajthan

Hope it arrives by Thursday!

Friday morning we are off to Europe for the weekend so if it doesn't arrive I will have to go alone.


Will she get sms like other people have or not?

Depends if wife gave a current mobile number (often requested/confirmed during interview).

Anyway you just need to sit tight & wait for courier now.

Yeah she did
She got sms the day after it arrived at Durham to say it was received.
