Hi guys,
First time asking question here. Apologies if there are same questions being answered already. Some background information: I received an approval letter for my British citizenship application today, however I'm unable to book the ceremony due to the circumstance. I booked flight to leave the UK for a few weeks to see my family this coming weekend knowing you are still allowed to travel when your citizenship application is pending. Totally didn't expect the decision would be made this soon (I only gave my biometric info last week) and thought I can travel while my application was pending. My understanding is that I'm not a British citizen until I attend the ceremony, thus I can still travel with my existing ILR and valid passport. Is it correct? Just to be sure I called the home office customer service but the lady told me that my current ILR BRP is automatically invalid as soon as I get my citizenship application approved (she said it means I'm a British citizen already) and I should call the border control at the airport to double check that I can still travel. I think this is not correct so want to check here. I have also emailed home office about this but not sure when I will hear back.
Thanks in advance!
