Passport Interview

If you do not or can not wait for the interview letter.......

What do you do?

Do you just call the help line and ask for your reference number so you can try and schedule an interview?

Do not have an answer but would appreciate answer too.

Can you give a timeline as to;

How did you apply?

When did you apply?

Do you know when they received?

When did you call?

What did you ask for?

Sounds like it was easy to get an appointment

Thanks.

British Passport

How do they mail out approved UK Passports?

First class mail and slide through the letter box?

Some type of courier?

What about return of original documents if you paid extra for secure delivery?

Do you need to sign for any of the above?

You will need to use a postal application because check and send will not have a clue as to what you are talking about. You could try but you might not get anywhere with them as they are used to basic app...

I doubt that you are the only person who has applied for citizenship with this problem. As John says, if you are married in the eyes of the UK by law, then you state Married. Equally, if you do not know where the spouse is now living then you type unknown. I have no doubt that there are also married...

Assuming she is coming to the UK. Let me comment on what is required for dual national USA citizens. You must enter or leave the US on your US Passport. There is logic to it, when you think about it.
