This happened with my daughter's application a few months ago. I called HMPO and they said its best to ask someone else to do it, so I asked the same guy's wife as she also meets the criteria. I'm not sure if the first guy made a mistake or whether HMPO randomly pick some applicants for a second ver...

I recently renewed by daughter's OCI card. When they gave me the new card HCI Singapore retained the old one and told me they don't give it back. Is this correct? Did anyone else have this experience. Some years ago when I renewed by elder daughter's OCI card they did give the old one back. That was...

Good morning everyone, I was going through the British passport processing times thread and I noticed that there are hardly any people who sent their documents to HMPO Liverpool. According to the thread there, other HMPOs process applications within maximum 3 weeks, whereas for HMPO Liverpool it ta...
This topic is mostly for those who have applied for first British passport within the UK. It is a published fact that passports from abroad take longer than applications within the UK. Wasn’t aware that this was an established “fact” especially since I did my previous renewals from the UK. If possi...

It’s case by case basis. I applied for a First British Passport on the 5th of October, I received it today on the 21st of October, quite fast. Depending on the individual they might take time, even if it’s a renewal. They do make checks. Certainly I appreciate that it’s on a case by case basis. Tha...

Hi Bayraktar I dont think they are asking silly questions. The whole idea for me seems that they are checking your English skills and thats why they indulge you in an conversation. May be I am wrong but this is what I can decipher from the posts on the forum Fay It’s NOT about your English skills. ...
