Applied via post and with a covering letter to explain the situation. (Thanks RGraphite)

Received passport in 10 working days with first name field as xxx as pointed out by CR001.

Was not even called for an interview.

Thanks guys for all your help, suggestions and criticism!

Right, HMPO helpline asked me to send a postal application and send a cover note along with that to explain the situation. I have applied last week via the post office check and send service. Will update once I have more information.

I called the HMPO helpline number and they asked me to call again tomorrow so that they can transfer me to the passport office directly. I will see how it goes tomorrow.

Wow that's great turn around time, 9 days!

I thought postal application just goes and is without any SLA unlike an online application which has rules in the system to trigger such things and workflows.

I will call and check. Luckily they have a telephone helpline which is open on weekends as well.

Thanks for your replies. I will call HMPO and check what they say. I think postal application can take a bit more time than an online application so hoping there is some solution to go via the online form. I will see what they advice. Additionally I am also applying for my child's first British pass...

Well apologies, but sometimes it can be a different case. I did do a search before posting this question. The cases answered did give me the information i wanted. However sometimes there can be a better solution as well as time passes and people get more information. I found that the solution given ...

Hi Respected Members and Gurus, My wife has received her Naturalisation certificate and it does not have her surname. She had an indian passport before and she did not have a surname there. She only had a Given name. Was planning to apply for her first British passport online. The online application...

after sending HO the email, they have sent across the paper work to the local council. I called in and booked a ceremony. There was no intimation by the HO for this. I just called the council after a week of sending the email and they had received the document from HO.

I am also in the same situation.
I have been asked to send an email to citizenship.support@homeoffice.gov.uk
I have received no reply yet from HO

Members, Gurus, Moderators,

Any help on the above query?

Thanks for your reply.

I thought the same, that the birth certificate would suffice. However that is mentioned separately in another point under the documents required. Hence this question. What does it mean? Parental responsibility?

Any idea ?

Hi Respected Members\Gurus, I have applied for the Naturalisation process for my wife and daughter. I got my British passport and the naturalisation done last year when the JCAP was still available via the councils. Using this new process has been a little daunting. However I have applied online via...

Nope, if you have received Parking tickets for which you have paid £35 or £70 within the 14 day period without any court proceedings, I dont think there is any need to declare them.

I also think its not something which will effect the application.

Hi neels111, out of curiosity, why was your wife not able to get her ILR in the 2016? Did she not complete the 5 years during the time of application?

(2) any absence from the UK during periods of leave granted under the Rules in place before 11 January 2018 shall not count towards the 180 days. I see. So what that means is since she was granted period of leave under the rules before 11th January, 2018, the rule of 180 days does not apply to her....

UNBELIEVABLE the way UKVI and HO work, how can they just change rules like that. I dont understand. What am I supposed to do at this last minute?

Respected Members and forum gurus, I have already booked my wifes ILR appointment for next week. I just saw a few threads now and realized that the continuous period rule has been reintroduced. What a strange thing by HO. Following is my wifes scenario: First time arrived in the UK on 8th February 2...

any help guys?

Dear members and gurus, I have to apply for my wife and child's ILR. Can someone tell me if I need to show my bank statements and salary slips which I did for my ILR application? Most posts I have searched on this forum are cases in which the main applicant is applying with the dependents and hence ...

Hi Members and Moderators, Like many of you, I have noticed today that the SET(O) Application form is now available online and can be used for an application. Following is my situation: 1) I have to apply for my wife and dependent child for their ILR. I was granted ILR last year under Tier 1 General...

I think you will be safe @tier2ilr.

What is the difference between applying online and in person? I mean does applying online means just filling out the form online and printing it out instead of downloading and printing the application and then filling it up?

Respected Moderators and Friends, please if you could just verify the list of documents for my peace of mind ! Additionally I also wanted to know what documents I need to submit for my 4 year old child ILR application? Is the Fully filled in form, birth certificate and passport enough for the child?...

I checked with my GP surgery today. They do not have a policy to give out letters in terms of the address proof etc. However they did say a letter can be provided in stating that the couple has been registered with the surgery from so and so date. However they have informed me that they will not men...

Additionally, I need to use just one SET(O) application form. I can include my wife and daughter in the same application form. Is that correct? I was initially thinking that my wife and daughter each need to have their own application form. I hope my understanding is correct. Can someone please clar...
