Re: December 2013 - Naturalization timeline

Hi bhossan100,

Just call your council with the reference number, if they have received intimation about your approval, it should be on their system, and they should be able to book a ceremony for you.

Hope it works out for you pal.

Re: British Passport application processing timelines (only)

HI Peach,

The fees is mostly debited within a couple of days of their receiving the application, the SMS does not happen for many people so thats not so scary.

you might want to call them and confirm whatd going on with your application.

Re: Kids passport application - naturalised parents

Thanks for the inputs Jambo.

Yes I am aware of that, but I have seen on the timelines thread that even kids passports can take 2-3 weeks to come, and we do not have that kind of time, so just going for the fast track one.

Thanks again!
