My wife and I are looking at moving to Canada. I am Canadian/British and she is Danish. I know she wont be able to work in Canada until she gets her perm residency which could take up to 2 years, but I would like to know if we are still entitled to some benefits. She is due in July. Is there any pro...
I called them as well as I was getting a bit anxious with some travel plans next week. they told me the same thing, but I really think they do not know! I would be surprised if you didnt get your old docs back this week. They did tell me that if I REALLY needed it they could help me get it couriered...
My timeline is identical to yours. I just got my docs back yesterday via secure delivery. . . the same day i had my interview and the same day my interview confirmation letter arrived. No need to provide an envelope. Application Timeline Passport for: Adult Application Type: New Method of applicatio...
I gave them my name and they were able to look up to see if they had me allocated to a ceremony. This exact thing happened to me! . They told me they had my certificate and were waiting for me to confirm my ceremony booked for 5th April. They were able to confirm it over the phone and I thought that...
This exact thing happened to me! I applied on Jan 25. In early March I was getting anxious as I didnt hear anything and I called Hackney to see if they had any news. They told me they had my certificate and were waiting for me to confirm my ceremony booked for 5th April. They were able to confirm it...
'you must send us all uncancelled passports with the application' You will need to send it. I am in the same boat, sent mine in on Monday and travelling on May 1 . . .hope I at least get my old one back by then. Hi guys, Under documents required for Passport application it is mentioned: "Born outsid...
can we just post total timelines- when the process is finished? It is hardly useful information to learn that you applied today and every other date is 'TBA'.

Any last minute advice for me? I am due to attend my ceremony tomorrow at Hackney, but I do not have the letter from the Home Office. They never sent one (or it got lost in the post). I called hackney to ask if they had anything there for me a few weeks back and they confirmed that they did indeed h...
Hey all, I need some assistance if possible. I applied in January and had not heard anything from them for quite some Call the main UKBA no, the 0870 they offer wide range of information, including Naturalization, tell the operator your problem, they should be able to do something about it Try that...
Thanks! I have called them and they have advised me to contact UKBA (which is impossible) so I am stuck! Called my MP but it is now 2 days away so I am not hopeful I will be able to attend! i think you need that letter but you better also contact council and explain all the situation. i think they c...
Hey all, I need some assistance if possible. I applied in January and had not heard anything from them for quite some time, even while others who applied after me were going to their ceremonies. I called Hackney Council to see if they had heard something and they said that they were waiting for my c...
I was going to apply for my first passport on 8th April after I have my citizenship ceremony this Friday. I see that it doesnt take long for IPS to return documents. I have travel plans on May 1st- do you think it is safe to assume that I will get my old passport back before then? I don't need the B...
I applied on Jan 25 and was getting a bit annoyed that I hadn't heard anything while others on here that applied in February were getting acceptance letters. I called my council to see if they had anything, and they had told me that they were waiting for my reply to the ceremony invitation that they...

Many thanks, I've requested barclays to send me statement for last whole year, the sent me. I've those now, however the new printouts are printed diffrently than the standard monthly statement they on official paper from barclays. does that still needs to be certified? have anyone else used stateme...
Yeah, I have no idea. I had all my forms filled out and everything was straightforward on my application (just me, no dependents)- still this is week 19 of waiting. My MP is making an inquiry, but wont get a reply for 21 days. . . so I might not get a reply until I get the passport. Hello again. Ca...
So, which "others" would be sent to senior caseworkers? Mine is Set O, so is that pretty much straight forward? It does seem though that they are processing lots of applications sent in August. So, maybe Septembers aer just around the corner. Yeah, I have no idea. I had all my forms filled out and ...
Appreciate your view. But can Home Office have a process that says you cannot travel anywhere for 6 months or pay more money. They should probably allow application 6 months earlier to 5 years period and as to provide passport only once the decisions is taken (Like old HSMP). Any ways, sorry, proba...
