Hi I am having my citizenship ceremony on 16/06/2012, but am flying back to my country for 3 weeks on 1st July, therefore wil not be able to send off for my British Passport before I go. Therefore I wanted to get my countersignatory to sign my application before I go so that I can submit it as soon ...

Thank you

Hiya

I will be travelling back to my country in a months time. I have ILR but its in my Iranian expired passport and I have renewed my Iranian passport so have a current one also. To travel back into the UK is it fine as long as I show both my expired and current passports when entering?

Many thanks

Thanks jambo

Hiya

Just wondered what is the maximum amount of time that a countersignatory can sign and date the application before it is sent off to the passport office.

Many thanks

Expired passport is fine, one of my referees passports was expired when I made the application and there was no problem.

Thanks Casa

Thanks casa, its a minefield as the form asks for the details, don't want to not put it on and they refuse it! Did he apply long ago?

Hiya

I am confused, as I called the passport office who said they want details of Grandparents, even if I didn't get my naturalisation through ancestry.

Anyone know of others who didn't include Grandparent details and were successful?

Many thanks

Thanks for letting us know Alexs. I'm stil waiting for mine

I agree that it is highly unlikely that such changes would affect ILR holders, but I feel safer knowing that I am a British Citizen.
