Why you having this doubt? Thanks for confirming that you have sent laminated degree for your citizenship. I have read on this forum that laminated documents are not acceptable by UKBA, so I posted my query. See this link below. http://www.immigrationboards.com/british-citizenship/april-2013-natura...

I have used my laminated degree 4 times, 2 times tier 1, ILR and then citizenship. Why you having this doubt?

So, I got the reply from online status enquiry and the dreaded response: your application is with our Durham office. There should be an option in the passport application to pay extra as a special service to ensure your applicaiton does not reach Durham!! and this is what I replied (I know none will...

Guys,

How do you know which office is dealing with your application?

I think you are being too generous to thank God.

Since you have a UK degree, PBS is meanignless for you. What you assumed before is absolutely correct.

Hi every one I applied for british passport it's been one month and I didn't get interview letter is there any telephone number I can call to book interview without letter as I seen some of the posts some people have done that. Thanks There is no special number. Dial the same number for status enqu...

Hi Seniors, As previously quoted I have applied for my first British Passport on 29 May 2014, and was waiting for text message acknowledgement from IPS. How ever when I call the passport office today they had no record of my application.This makes me really concerned by my supporting valid passport...

NO

Did you sort out your issue with PBS?

If it is more than 3 months since his date of naturalisation (certificate date), he has to apply for naturalisation again.

Otherwise, just book a private or public ceremony within the 3 months deadline.

There are hundreds (if not thousands) of posts here on how to use it. If you get 20 points for degree, 10 points for language, take the print out a...

First thing first, do you have a letter from university saying your degree was taught in English? If you have that, you do not need ELA. does your degree give you points in PBS? Then send it and again you do not need ELA. Assuming the answer to both the above questions are NO,send a print out of NAR...

Email them. They will reply.

I can not comment on MN process as we were settled when the child was born and he qualified for british citizenship by birth. The only differences between PIO and OCI are: 1) PIO is valid for 20 years where OCI is valid for life time. However, I think for a child you need to get a new one issued any...

Please can you help? I had my passport interview on May 16 in Manchester. I answered most questions without any issues but there were 2 questions I was unsure of: previous store cards (I could only name 1 as it was sometime ago) and knew my mom's DOB but had to calculate how old she actually is whe...
