Re: Passport delivery - date changed by TNT

What no one tells us is that these events in the file with that information are populated by some sort of computer scan and it stores longitude and latitude data for each scan being made. So I was able to extract the information on the address of the scans, like so: 14/12/2020 03:35:34 - Driver Col...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

My wife went for biometrics on the 2nd of January and is still waiting for a feedback on her application. Are all January applications stuck like hers or are we in bad luck? (Actually the application was on December, only the biometric was on January.)

Re: Passport delivery - date changed by TNT

Okay, update: I made a complaint on Friday, spent 1 hour listening to that awful music. TNT delivered the passport today, with all supporting documents, in the same envelope. The envelope was ripped, by the way. The delivery man knocked at the door and delivered to my wife, no signature required. Th...

Hi everyone, I already got my citizenship via EEU route and I am waiting for the British passport. Meanwhile, I'm helping my wife with her naturalisation process. She is not EEU citizen and lived here as a family member. She has a biometric card issued when she applied for the ILR. I've been searchi...

Thanks for everyone here. I have got my ceremony and applied for passport yesterday. Does anyone have any idea what happens to freedom of travel within EU with British passport after Jan 1st 2021?

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

I've been keeping tabs on this thread for some 3 months already. I got my approval letter via email in August, but I can't understand this process. Would someone be able to walk me through the logic? Why does the Home Office need 12 weeks or so to print and send a letter to me and to my council? I u...

"I have a funny feeling HO are playing a game" I agree. What is so hard about printing and sending a letter and a certificate?

With the risk of going a bit off-topic: is it normal receiving no acknowledgement whatsoever after returning from the UKVCAS appointment?
