I spoke to someone recently who had 4 (in 4 different continents)..... some nice travelling. well depends on which countries they are. VISA free travel depends on which country's passport one holds rather than how many passport. No, I meant free access to 4 continents :wink: ah, now that's something!

You will be fine as you can use your Indian passport for 3 months after acquiring foreign citizenship without incurring any penalty from the Indian authorities. Carry you natiralisation certificate with you as you might need it for entry back in the UK.

Postal applications much quicker than NCS

Looking at the timeline thread, it appears that "Going Postal" seems to produce quicker results.

Hi, i would appreciate if any recently successful applicant can confirm that they used a professional referee like doctor/nurse or colleague who noted that they know the applicant as work colleague/as patient i.e. in professional capacity rather than as a friend for example?
