Hi, I'm on the same boat and tried to send them a message on twitter. I'm quite new to the twitter thing and can't find a way to send them a message. It's just gray out when I select their handle hm_passport on the list. Could you please check if you can tweet them or they just recently disable that...

Hi vinny, Many thanks for your answer.

Dear, My wife and I are holding ILR. We have a 3-year-old son born in the UK but left the UK in June 2020 to stay in Vietnam. My question is that whether it's possible for us to register his citizenship while he's in Vietnam. I check the online application here and see that he needs to attend an app...
