ReallyFedup wrote:Hi all,
Just got interview letter today. IPS guy said I will not receive my documents back until the end of the process.
I see people here having their documents returned before they even have their interview, am I missing something?
Thanks for your help in advance

I called the customer service number and the helpful chap told me that they already sent me a reference number to book the interview appointment. As it may take longer to receive it (second class coupled with royal mail redirection), I asked the person if he could give me the reference number and phone number to book the appointment. He did and went for the appointment yesterday.
I suggest people to read the example questions on this forum before going to the interview. Some of the question might trip you. For e.g. what's your parents DOB. I am sure quite a few of us don't know it (even my parents don't know the true DOB )

Might be accepted, but they're not wrong. The official advice says mistakes must be corrected by crossing out the erroneous text and putting the correct text in the next available boxes.tinux wrote: Post office tried to confuse us with their checks at first so i decided to send it without their checking. they claimed that I with a dot is not acceptable and using tipp-Ex on a non used box that was crossed out will also be rejected; let wait and see

I had similar problem with them at the post office when i was about to post my son's passport application, i was asked to fill another application, i insisted that i don't have to and she was asking for more document, e.g my passport and my naturalization certificate and i explained to her that i don't need naturalization certificate because i have ILR b4 giving birth to my son, and my passport has been posted to naturalization section that i only have copy, she refused to accept it.tinux wrote:seputus wrote:tinux wrote: Post office tried to confuse us with their checks at first so i decided to send it without their checking. they claimed that I with a dot is not acceptable and using tipp-Ex on a non used box that was crossed out will also be rejected; let wait and see
