An update guys. My babies passport was finally deliverd this morning. We were so over the moon. It was issued on the 1st and sms was sent to us yesterday that it had been printed. I checked the online status and it has now changed to dispatched.

Good luck to everyone else.

HMPO advice line is an absolute joke. Same generic replies and inexperienced staff reading off screens. Our new-born babies application has been with the Peterborough since the 9th of April and we have got the same status over the last few weeks "awaiting information from the applicant". When questi...

There is no clear indication as to who is dealing with the online application. The return address mentioned on the guidance form mentions the Peterborough address yet I am being told by some that it is being dealth with by our local district office which is Liverpool. Does any have information about...

Timeline for my baby son:
Online passport application submitted:31-03-2014
Declaration & Documents sent: 08-04-2014
Received by Peterborough office on: 10-04-2014
Current status 29-4-2014: Awaiting information from the applicant

Does anyone know if it is the Peterborough office that issues the passport or do they pass on the applications on from there to the local regional offices. Like we are in Manchester so the form has been passed onto the Liverpool office to deal with.

Apparently it takes 1 week to log received forms onto their systems for the status to be updated. I submitted our babies form last Tuesday 8th April form received Wednesday 9th April sent via recorded delivery. Now awaiting status change

Anyone have any updates to their online applications ?

Oh good, I printed off the complete form and only sent page 3. I was doubting myself that I should have to send the complete form.

Regarding the declaration form is it page 3 i.e. the declaration and countersignature page that only needs to be sent and not the other pages of the application form ??

Hello My wife received her Citizenship approval letter last Friday and the letter was dated Tuesday 24th April. She has been contacting our local council office where they register births to book a ceremony but they are saying they have not received her certificate from the home office. The lady sai...

Hello

My wife is applying for her nationality soon and wanted to know whether the same ESOL Certificate and letter from the college which she used to gain ILR can be used in her nationality application also. She did the course in November 2009 and certificate states clear pass.

Good news guys, my wife got her passport back this afternoon through recorded post with ILR granted. We are soo happy :D . ILR was issued on 3rd Febuary 2011 at Liverpool. All in all it took few days short of 4 weeks. We can now get on with our plans and plan a much deserved holiday. I only have one...

Hi My wife submitted her Set M application throught the Settlement Checking Service on the 5th January 2011. It has been 4 weeks so far. I know 'izzie' who applied on the same category and dates as my wife and they received their passport last week with ILR granted. We are hoping to get something th...

Can't belive it guys... we received a package from UKBA this morning containing all the original supporting documents we sent as well as my passport and hubby's passport with ILR stamp issued on 1st Feb!!! :D :D :D I am totally amazed and very relieved at how quickly they dealt with his application...

Hi all My hubby applied for his ILR (set m) on 5th January by post (special delivery). UKBA received his application on 6th January, and payment was also taken on the same day. We received the acknowledgement letter on 7th January. Hopefully it shouldn't take too long to get his ILR as the applicat...

hi, i am new to this board but i believe i can help with your question cos i had my Indefinite leave to Remain on tuesday the 11th Jan 2011. i had a spouse visa cos my wife is british. i booked my appointed for the 11th which was just 10 days before my spouse visa was meant to expire. I went to the...

Pre entry to Level 1 is sufficient for the ILR application. I've heard it also valid for the naturalisation application. I guess it would be a good idea to enrol onto Level 2 afterwards.

We got the acknowledge letter this morning. Payment was taken from my account on Monday.

What I actually meant was when do I have to apply for my ILR from a spouse visa as mine is a 27 month spouse visa? Is it by the 24th or the 27th month. Thank you very much They give you 3 months extra just to give enough time to arrive into the UK. Count 28 days backwards from the date of Entry sta...

Please read my posts about postal application stay away from them they are designed to cause you hassle yes cheaper but the home office are losing people documents like they did mine and they delay your application on purpose to make more money so u need to apply for extensions etc. Not if you appl...

If you are working full time I know it can be a problem to take time off work to arrange to go down to the PEO as its a full day thing.

Utility bills I have been told is good evidence to prove cohabitation.

I've checked with bank and they can see a payment which is pending processed on the 7th Jan 2011 for £900. We've not received an acknowledgement letter as of yet, hopefully we're expecting something this week.

Thats correct you need to send photocopies of all documents that you submit aswell the original documents.

Hi My wife submitted her application for ILR Set M through the settlement checking service. Everything went smoothly apart from the documents. My wife entered on the 30th Jan so we had nothing under her name for Feb, March, April, May. Obviously a 4 month gap. He said the Home Office understood that...
