I just received my passport! YAY! Quite strange, I called the IPS this morning to find out if it had been picked up by the courier and they said it won't be delivered until tomorrow. Could be for security reasons..who knows..?! My journey ends here. Thanks everyone :D

You can definitely book with the HO reference number. You probably just had the misfortune of speaking with a grumpy call operator.

I don't think there's a way around applying for naturalisation without initially acquiring indefinite leave to remain. Its a very expensive process, but unfortunately it is what it is.

That's odd! When you call to book your interview (and every time you call), they do ask you to confirm all your details including your date of birth.

My interviewer didn't categorically say she was happy but she said I should receive it in 4 working days if they were satisfied with my answers. Just have to wait and see I guess.

Just found out that my passport application (sent on 22nd August) has already been processed and a letter was sent out to me yesterday to book my interview. How do I get the booking reference to book my interview before the letter comes? Thanks in advance
