@Harry It just shows that the UKVI has a consistent process in dealing with UKF applications from the Phl. Please post your own first adult UK passport timeline and use the "FIRST ADULT UK PASSPORT OUTSIDE THE UK (overseas application)" as the subject in order for others to have basis. Anyways we ...
@bhebijean, I had sent my original Phl passport with my UKF form. It was received by their office on 29 June 2015. Then they had sent me back my passport together with the Acknowledgment Letter which I had received on 21 August 2015. Then I had received the Citizenship approval letter on 23 Dec 2015 ...
@ Bhebijean_04 You don't have to attach/send your actual Philippine passport with your application. You can send a COLOURED PHOTOCOPY of it. But take note, the rest of the requirements that you need to attach/send with the application must all be original e.g Phl Driver's License, School records ...

Different countries have different processing times. Passport processing in Singapore is only 8 weeks, I have planned to lodge my application from there (just like when I enrolled my Biometrics I chose Singapore in their system) but I could no longer use my Phl passport bec I have lost my Filipino ...
Thanks for replying brotha! Sooner or later we'll be in touch with the embassy for sure. Reading sone posts here I saw an applicant who just got the passport after a week of process. Does it really take 16weeks? Will appreciate it much if you'll update us here how long will it took you. I'll give ...
I have a feeling something similar to that is what's going to happen for me (g_barrie_g). I'm at 4 weeks now since the 'acceptance' letter. So, another 2 before I can email and then... who knows? Maybe they get back in a day, maybe a week, maybe not within the allotted time to do the ceremony. This ...
As for the passport, the waiting/processing time is 16 weeks. Wait - four months for a passport?! Different countries have different processing times. Passport processing in Singapore is only 8 weeks, I have planned to lodge my application from there (just like when I enrolled my Biometrics I chose ...
Hi barrie. I would like to ask if to whom did you receive the oath taking ceremony? Is it from UKHO or from the embassy in Manila? Congratulations again! please update how long would it take you to get a passport. Thanks buddy! Goodluck and congrats again! The invitation to a ceremony (oath) will ...
Hello again UKF hopefuls, I already made an Oath on 24 Feb 2015 at the UK Embassy Manila. I am proud to say that I am now a British citizen. I already applied for a UK passport online and will be sending the declaration form to the UK sometime next week as I am awaiting for it to be countersighed by ...
Hi G_Barrie Have you received your Invitation of Oath yet? If so does your local embassy send this to you with a time and date? And again, huge congrats on your successful application. Hello JJL, As of today no. In the letter, the UKVI instructed me to e-mail the address that was given in case I ...
Hello everyone, It's been months now since I logged into this. I have noticed that there are a lot of new ukf applicants. For the sake of sharing this to my co-ukf hopefulls I will be giving you all an update. I have already received a letter from UKVI on december 23 2015. It was dated 4 Dec 2015 ...
@lagos1980 Yes, my passport was sent to me with my Biometrics letter together with my fathers birth certificate. And also one more thing I forgot to tell you... The 4th page/paper of 4 of my Biometrics letter served as an acknowledgment from them stating that they have deducted the 80 pounds ...
@lagos1980 The 1st page/paper of 4 has 2 barcodes. The first barcode which is on the top right corner of the paper is Code128. And the barcode on the bottom left corner is of PDF417. Try to google barcodes Code128 and PDF417 to see what they look like. The remaining 3 pages just also contains my ...
Well, I guess we'll all have to cross that bridge when we come to it (wait and see if the VFS websites in our various countries of residence are buggy or not). Hmm. Bizarre. Who knows how many people will have to travel to another country just because of this. When I was inside the biometrics booth ...
So, did the website bug finally get fixed? How was the biometrics thing - what sort of documents did they ask for? No. You see, when making an appointment through VFS using their UKVI Appointment System, you have to choose first your "Country of Operations" from the dropdown list then the VFS ...
BIOMETRICS I have finally enrolled my facial and fingerprint details at VFS Singapore on 21 August 2015. I have on my hand my Registration and Biometrics receipts. VFS Singapore saved me from going beyond the 30 working days deadline in enrolling my Biometric details. As their appointment system for ...
VFS APPOINTMENT SYSTEM NOT WORKING I have reached VFS contact center and told them about their appointment system, and they gave me another number to call because they do not handle concerns about Overseas Citizenship applicants. So I called the number and again told them the problem. And again ...
