pls advise me how to apply for passport to get it quickly (for nat i choose NCS did't add any reply post had a stress life ) so to avoid that pls give your valuable advise to apply for passprt
You may find it won't be that quick process.
Firstly you need to get invitation letter from UKBA to attend cereomony - do you have it?
Then you actually need to book ceremony and attend it.
You need to pick up passport application form from Post Office (do it now as you may find out you don't know the answers to all questions and it will take time to find them), fill it in, got signed by countersignee and post to IPS with enclosed passport, naturalisation certificate, 2 photos and payment slip.
Then IPS will send you documents back and (separately) letter telling you to book passport interview (another week down the pan).
Then you will call them to book interwiev, and as you are from London you may find out their London office (Elephant and Castle) is busy and you will have to wait a little for interview (first available slot was 9 days later in my case and actually only 2 slots were available that day - my OH phoned a few hours later and got slot 11 days later).
Then after the interview it will be a few days to actually get passport via courier.
So you better chill out as it's more marathon rather than sprint.
