Hi Senthil,
Cograts on your British Citizenship. I remember me trying to reassure you regarding you jumping a red light many months ago in a deferent post. I hope you did get a penalised for that?
Correct me if I am wrong. You applied for a refund of your ceremony fee but home office instead approved your application?
Thanks for your reply
TC

bawa1234,

In case I call my council for ceremony, while I have not received my letter, what should I tell them, as I have no reference? The decision was made on 3 February.

Thanks,

Decision on my case was made on the same date as yours 3rd of feb......i called council and actually make a story that i spoke to UKBA and and they sent me a letter about 7 days ago and they said if i havent received my letter i can directly contact the local council and ask them if they got any of my record otheer wise UKBA has to send me another letter and this is total wasteage of time....council said they will look into their records and then she called me and said they havent got my record or approval letter now i have to wait till next tuesday coz next deilivery of approval letters will be received on tuesday.........

Hi guys,

How is it possible to obtain status update about your application i.e. if a decision has been made or not by calling UKBA? I thought that they will not comment on any application received within the last 6 months?!

Thanks, I requested to reconsider my application and my application was reconsidered. Hence, the HO requested me to return the ceremony fee which was refunded to me earlier.

Hi,
During the period between getting the British Naturalisation certificate and receiving the British passport, can I still travel in and out of the UK using the foreign passport that has the ILR stamp on it?
I am a frequent overseas business traveller, wondering this is a problem, ie whether I have to stay domestic while waiting for my British passport

Any advice greatly appreciated, many thanks !!

I believe you can. I travelled between my ceremony and my british passport application. I actually flew out the day I had my ceremony and came back 5 days later. I had no problems clearing immigration on my ILR
