Hello Ppl,

I may have forgotten to complete section 5 of the passport application form, however I did of course enclose the certificate with the application.

Do you think not fully completing that section will affect my application?

Thanks

I phoned them up to check

thanks for your response happyguy82. Does it usually get there the next day?

if you send the passport application by check and send, how do you check whether its been received by passport office?

silly question, but do Post Office send the naturalisation certificate in DO NOT BEND envelope? They CANNOT do that :) Post Office use a special transparent plastic envelop to send off all passport applications. They're not allowed to use any other. This envelope is only half the height of an A4 pa...

silly question, but do Post Office send the naturalisation certificate in DO NOT BEND envelope? Nope, they folded in half for my application :lol: I didn't mind it.

hester - if your ILR was on or after 28 October 2013, then you have to "tick" the box on the application form. Do you recall doing that?

I think they require 2 pieces of evidence, perhaps you may have to send another proof of English Language, unless you received ILR on or after 28 October 2013, I think..

what did you provide as evidence?

@GGreg - many congratulations!

yes - they seem to operate very inconsistently, I am hoping something will arrive soon! If not I shall prepare myself for a long wait lol

you should put "your name" trading as "XYZ" alternatively put "your name (sole trader). In the business address just put your home address.

There doesn't seem to be any trends. I applied only a couple of days before you guys and my fees were deducted on 24/03, but no decision yet...oh well!

Not in the general election though, only in the local election being held at the same time, got a polling card for that.

Ah I see!

I thought so too..I share the same surname as you lol

janto - I am in a similar situation to you, but I agree with Rakeysh...its no point getting stressed about the approval, if it comes good if it takes longer, doesn't really matter...

Rakeysh - is that how your name is actually spelt? It's usually "Rakesh", please don't be offended btw.

any approvals today?

agree with MrBrilliant!
