Re: General discussion after BC and Passport application

I just received a letter from HM passport office saying my naturalisation certificate has no date and that I need to send a replacement! I used post office check and send. I would appreciate any advice or tips to get this fixed as quickly as possible.

If I apply before, will I receive my SA passport back in time? It is mentioned above that it should currently take 1 - 1.5 weeks. I...

Ok yes I agree that would be a disaster. I'm trying to contact my MP now with regards to the letter. I still have some time until 28 October deadline. Thanks

I have written a letter and not received any response. What would be the next step? This has delayed my citizenship application by a month now.

Non acquisition of british citizenship letter

I have applied for this so I don't lose my SA citizenship and it's been 1 month since they took the 94 pound fee. I have still not received anything.

It says it takes 10 days so I was wondering if this is normal and how long others have waited and is there anyway to contact them?

Thanks

Hey I thought I would give a report about my experience. I first entered UK on a working holiday visa from South Africa. I then spent 2 years on a student visa, then 2 years as a unmarried partner before getting ILR last week. I looked in June for a appointment and was shocked when the only open slo...
