How do you apply online for the first passport. We sent our application and got sms after 1 week that application has been received in their Belfast office...God knows why Belfast office!

Just received our approval today as well. Thanks to everyone for their contribution and good luck for those who are waiting.

It seems we are the only one waiting as everyone is getting their approval letters now.

We had our initial letter approval letter stating to wait for an invitation letter and since then nothing yet

Nope all quiet. Did they tell you if its only yours or everyone's else as well is on hold? Or any time frame when its gonna be sent out.

Very poor service without actually telling the reason or the time!

Thats all it said that these are on hold. And that she is unable to provide any further information.

Looks like it just a waiting game now.

Applied for the citizenship in May and got my documents back with a letter stating that application has been successful and I'll get a invitation letter within two weeks. Two weeks have passed so I sent them an email to which they replied that invitation letter has not been dispatched yet as they ha...

Interesting question...sorry don't know the answer myself but would be keen to know the answer.

I am sure this has been asked quite a few times but I just can't find the right results from search. I understand anyone who is going to apply after October 2013 will need this test on top of Life in the UK. My wife will be applying for British Citizenship next year and she needs to clear the test a...

That's what I thought. Thanks very much for the confirmation.

Now we have a child who was born British (As I am British) and I have been receiving Child Benefits for her. Would it be a problem for my wife application as Sect...

You are a star. Thank you.

CR001, thanks for your response. She is on a valid residence permit expiring 15 June 2013. It was granted on 15th April 2011.

Question I wanted to ask could I make an appointment on 17th of March 2013?

Thanks

Hiya Sorry I have tried searching but am still not sure about the English test requirements. I am planning to apply ILR for my wife and as I understand from the forms that she has to take an EOSL and LIUK test. Before coming to the UK, she took some english test Level A1 for partners which I think i...

Would appreciate some advise in my matter. I am planning to apply for ILR for my wife who came to the UK mid April 2011. I guess I can make an application mid March as 28 days before the eligibility? If so, would the same day service will give us the decision on the same day including Biometeric Per...

This is quite strange reason to refuse a visa. How long you guys have been married for?

Sorry I can't answer your question of if she can apply for a visitors visa if settlement has been refused.

Sorry but where is the article?
