thank you :)) i'll also ask here: i am going to be changing my name via deed poll after receipt of passport. So this second passport - would it go via the fast procedure as a uk passport exchange, or through the long procedure as first adult passport? I am hoping as UK, but good to know so i can pla...
I somewhat wanted to apologise for starting this topic, but I feel it would actually be useful - especially if made "sticky". Having been snooping around the forum for a couple of years, I still found it tricky to obtain all relevant information when it came to steps of receiving one's first UK adul...
i was wondering the same thing - but then looked into procedure around obtaining first british passport and it seems there is no way but post my current national passport with the application (hello, Big Brother!). So i would not have been able to travel on my Permanent Residence sticker anyway.. Wh...
A bit of a different question, but to avoid openinng multiple topics... I got my letter of invitation for the ceremony - at my local council. Same problem - looong wait for public, and they do not offer private at the moment :shock: So when i looked around and fancied myself a couple of other counci...

Is it possible to apply for passport after one's applied for citizenship? i didn't even know it were possible to do so - i've just submitted my citizenship application to NCS on 16th Dec
You have to use the new form!!!
I had my referees in the old form, and had to go ask them to sign the new one - i applied via NCS and they said Home Office would now accept ONLY references in the new form.
Wondering if a person who is a British Citizen but has not gotten to getting the passport yet can be my referee? - struggling ot find suitable british citizens who have known me for over 3 years AND belong to a professional body.. Uhhh to clarify - she has NEVER had a british passport (naturalized c...
Hi all I have a quandary over a couple of things. First of all, I already have a PR (issued in May 2014) but we have then divorced. I do not have the paperwork to prove it yet. Divorce took place in an EU member state, but not UK. So: 1) I need to apply for a Schengen visa (and a few more). While I ...
One tiny update. I am not doing this for the loan anymore, just want justice :lol: Solvit could only help if I were an EU citizen. So I called the Home Office. Yes. You know what, the guy was very helpful and friendly (Europen enquiries line) , spoke with a couple of his colleagues given that the na...
It was the bank manager who said: "well, normally an employee would refer such a case to the bank's manager, but I am the manager and have no idea what to do, so let's file a complaint - if you wish to do so - for them to investigate" Where "them" is the processing team in Manchester. Who were suppo...
Hi all Decided to post here as possibly other people may in future, or have already, encounter such difficulties. In my case (interesting as always! :mrgreen: ) - Career and Professional Development loan. This is provided only by Co-Operative and Barclays, should the applicant meet certain criteria....
I have a bit of a tricky question, could not find a similar situation via forum search so here goes: I hold Permanent Residence obtained from having been a member of EU national family, but this is no longer the case (divorce.. still on-going, but I am hoping to have finalised it soon, before the ti...
There was a number earlier in this thread (like a couple of pages ago, not the very beginning) - call monday it's not going to be a refusal, just deeming the application invalid. and in any case, i doubt they keep a "log", i mean every application is a new application ..although who's to know for su...
