I had interview on 10 th April and still no
passport received. I had a call from hmpo Peterboroug.they wanted to clarify my name .. They got confused between my surname and first name during the interview. After clarifying my name they said the passport will be ordered for print soon. I am expecting it on Tuesday/Wednesday. Very disappointed by the whole process

Interestingly I am still waiting, not in a hurry to be honest just wondering out loud... Interviewed on the 12th April by the way.

Just want to check about Biometric card?
Do we need to send our ILR Biometric card with our non UK passport while applying for British Passport?

Thanks

I know this sounds crazy but I explained her that there is no point of me sending the BRP card as I am sending my ORIGINAL Naturalization certificate. Since this discussion was getting into an argument, I sent my ILR BRP card.

Problem with the Check and Send service is that the people checking your application doesn't know much and just think as though they are working for HMPO. I know it's mental. Just absolutely MENTAL!!!
