why are you so worried? Normally, these are questions about you and things/events related to you.

Yes a lot of questions....but its like a rapid fire round...so was over in 15-20 mins or even less.I didnt stumble or get stuck anywhere so it went very quickly...

For a person like me who is confident otherwise can make me nervous in such situations. But I should fine if I went through all the dates esp regarding my parents' details.
Be your normal self, if you forget something, say so, it woudnt be a problem.
Just wondering when/If you apply for Passport through C&S. what paperwork is required? just the Naturalisation certificate and current passport?

Thanks,
Rohan...

Normally yes. But, have a read through the requirements and the link at the bottom of the page.

On behalf of a friend: when are the documents returned in relation to the interview letter? My friend received the interview letter, but is still waiting for the return of the documents (passport/citizenship certificate). I think I received everything at the same time, but not entirely sure anymore.

From what I gather looking at the members time line, it's normally on the same day.

Thanks, that is how I remembered it, too, but I thought I check in here to be sure. Anyone else here had to wait over a week, and if so, any indication as for the reason? Could find one in the main thread, that was snow - not applicable at the moment.

If a person uses DX to return documents then they might need someone to sign off. Worth checking with them?

Re: Passport Interview for my non-english speaking elderly m

Post by moscow » Thu Jul 03, 2014 7:53 am

My 73 yo mother who barely speaks any English is due to have a passport interview at London/Victoria this Saturday. When I was booking an appointment they refused to provide an interpreter for the first attempt (saying is she fails then they will book one for the second interview which is rather weird) and stated that I won't be able to interpret for her. She was exempted from english test due to her age.

do you know if there is way for me to insist on being present or whether she could bring and refer to typed notes where essentially I will list answers to questions that are summarised on this site?

Any other useful tips for he situation?

Thanks!

I went to my interview on Friday, went pretty good...I just have a terrible feeling that I signed with a different signature than the one I used on my passport application form..any advice if this is true?

You'll be fine - had the same but the passport arrived couple of days later!
