Hi Blackhole, Passport services are efficient. Within a week (max 2 weeks)you will get invited for interview and get your documents back. It takes 3-4 days after interview to get the new passport. At Interview they will just want to confirm you are whom you say you are :wink: and are very friendly. ...
Congratulations Blackhole. You have waited for a long time but I am happy :D :D that finally you got your approval. We applied in the same month (Nov 2011). I have no words for the anguish you have undergone. You deserve a holiday into any sunshine state to relax after this. Best luck in your future...
Hi Blackhole, HO is really giving you a hard time. One year is a long time waiting for a decision. I just trust and hope that you get your approval soon.
hi jambo Thx for ur reply. There is no problem in my ILR. After ILR i travelled twice and no problem in immigration while coming back. The ILR application initially rejected by UKBA and got successful thru tribunal. Thats y i am worried. Just a reminder: - Send your passport to UKBA via special del...
Blackhole I am glad to hear you are trying to get your life back. Sometimes HO really does things very slowly. I remember sometimes back when someone posted that he had waited for 12 months before getting a positive feed-back. I know they need to do all the checks but still 8 months is a long time. ...
Blackhole, sweetness My heart and prayers goes to you two. I just hope HO should find it prudent in its procedures to deal old applications first as you two really deserve an explanation as to why your applications are taking that long but keep calling and use your MPs. That way HO can retrieve your...

If you country of origin allows dual nationality, you can travel with you passport anytime but if they don't, just wait 3-4 days when you get your British passport as suggested by Jambo.
I applied three weeks back and I found out that I made a mistake on my passport application. Basically, I put the application date and my counter signatory put the date prior to the ceremony date and most probably they will invalidate my application. Even though I checked it with Check & Send servi...
I doubt that differences in processing times come down to NCS v postal applications. The application method doesn't change the documents the caseworker sees. The advantage with NCS isn't quicker processing, it's about verifying your application is complete and letting you keep your original documen...
Finally after a long wait of 11 months my husband received his approval. Don't know why it took so long, but we got it in the end and that's all that matters. Congratulations. :D :D Why UKBA put you and your husband thru is beyond what most people have endured. You had patience and I am finally hap...
Today i received two brown envelopes in the post. In one envelope there was the biggest news of my life about the success of my Naturaliztion application (latter was dated 08/02/2012). The other envelope was from Luton Registrar about the citizenship appointment which is on 06/03/2012. I am surpris...
Hi, I am in the middle filling in my passport application and the ceremony is due next week. I am planning to submit my passport application as soon as I finish the ceremony. I received two letters from UKBA on the application approval one about the confirmation of the approval of my application an...
Blackhole and cricinfo, I know HO really tests people patience but don't worry, you will get positive response when you least expect them. If you made application by post, ask for your documents back (that’s how I did it) and they will be forced to retrieve you files from whenever they have kept them.
Hi all, Thank you for taking the time to read my question :).. so here goes: My father was born in kenya and registered as a british citizen (with the right of abode) in 1973. Please keep in mind, kenya got her independence around 1964. His parents at that time were both british subjects. My dad th...
