Re: Supporting docs first Passport Application

Thanks https://www.gov.uk/government/news/avoid-passport-delays-by-sending-original-documents "Photocopies, or copies certified by a Justice of the Peace, are not accepted in support of a UK passpo...

Travel to Ireland (ROI) while ILR application pending

Hi Trying to confirm that I’m allowed to travel to the Republic of Ireland (as it’s part of the CTA) while my ILR application is pending? Everything I’ve read so far seems to say this is ok. I won’t be leaving ROI and will fly back to the UK 3 after weeks. If I were to get stopped by immigration off...

I applied for SET(M) on June 7'th thinking that the super priority service would also be available but it wasn't. Had to submit (standard) that day as my FLM was expiring. I oft...
