After panicking a bit regarding the return of my original documents, I finally received them in the post this morning. The strange thing is I suddenly received an email yesterday from my case worker with the tracking number for my documents. It was posted in the UK on the 2nd October and arrived at...

How and who do you contact to get a tracking number for your return documents? Try NationalitySupportTeamFMT@homeoffice.gov.uk . My case worker sent me the Royal Mail tracking number with the approval email. Maybe send an email to the above and ask them how they sent your documents back. I sent an ...

So my citizenship process has now reached its conclusion with the receipt of my British passport via DHL this morning. Citizenship ceremony on 28/11, sent off for passport on 29/11 and finally received on 12/12. Won’t have to do anything further for another 10 years when the current passport expires...

So there you have it folks: from passport application submission to it being dispatched to me has taken just over a week. I'll probably receive it from DHL either tomorrow (Saturday) or Monday. Just to confirm the documents I submitted were: colour copy of every page of my SA passport, 2 passport p...

Well I guess I have a caseworker assigned to me now but apparently my copy of my passport wasn't good enough. I really don't understand why the passport is even a requirement. I've done my biometrics, they have my original birth certificate. :x I don't see how a person has to have a passport to get...

Was the passport application not made online at https://www.gov.uk/overseas-passports ? Or does that site generate a final printable application to be sent along with your supporting documents like the certificate of registration ? Correct. The application is done on line followed by a printed PDF....

So happy for you. Getting the passport is so much easier. Thank you! Indeed the passport application is a breeze. I sent the application off on Thursday with DHL and I see it is in their distribution centre in Newcastle. Their estimated delivery date is Monday (given a weekend in between) so I woul...

Congratulations!! Must be such a relief to complete this process!

Thank you! Best of luck with your application. The process unfortunately is not the quickest but well worth the wait.

Thanks balles 😀 Its good to know what the proceedings are. The tea and scones refreshments is a nice British touch. 😉 Perhaps someone can take a picture for me. The High Commissioner’s residence in Pretoria has a 6 ft oil painting of Her Majesty, in her coronation robes, on one of the walls in the ...

So yesterday marked the completion of my British citizenship process by attending a ceremony at the residence The High Commissioner in Pretoria where I received my certificate of registration. Coincidentally I also received the original approval letter from UKVI which was dated 1 October 2018. My n...

What email address were you able to contact UKVI through. I have submitted several enquiries to the "Contact Centre" (paid for each of them) and I keep getting a generic response with little to no information. When I respond to that, They redirect me back to the website I initially submitted the in...

I did my biometrics on November 6th. I sent an email to UKVI the other day to confirm they have been received. This was the reply. "I can confirm that your biometrics were updated onto our system on 14th November 2018. Your application has now been forwarded to a “queue” awaiting a caseworker. If t...

Correct, I'm applying from SA. According to the pdf guide and if you are applying from outside the UK all you need is your British citizen registration certificate, copy of your SA passport and proof of address. This is if you have been naturalised or registered as a British citizen as in the UKM a...

Regarding the return of original documents... After my citizenship ceremony I will receive my citizenship certificate, however if I have not received my original documents from UKVI then I will be unable to apply for my British passport as all the documents I need for my British passport applicatio...

Pathetic that SA Postal Service, to say the least!!! I know they were rioting, striking and burning Post Offices through July and that they are working to try catch up the backlogs, and then further strikes as below!!! I have re-posted some crucial documents to Durban, I had to get re-signed, the f...

After months of patiently waiting I finally received an approval email and attached approval letter from my local British High Commission. In the attached letter from my local High Commission was the date for my citizenship ceremony. I'm attending my ceremony at the residence of my local British Hi...

Also just got the weird survey email now

Me too. Just popped into my inbox about an hour ago. The problem is that the questions aren’t relevant to citizenship applications but rather for visa applications
