Thanks casa, its a minefield as the form asks for the details, don't want to not put it on and they refuse it! Did he apply long ago?

Hiya

I am confused, as I called the passport office who said they want details of Grandparents, even if I didn't get my naturalisation through ancestry.

Anyone know of others who didn't include Grandparent details and were successful?

Many thanks

Thanks for letting us know Alexs. I'm stil waiting for mine

I agree that it is highly unlikely that such changes would affect ILR holders, but I feel safer knowing that I am a British Citizen.

Hiya Just about to apply for British Passport, it asks on form for address and any other adresses for last 3 years. I moved to my current address on the 18/02/2009 and moved out for 3 months in June 2011 until september 2011, and am now back at my current address where I have lived from 18/02/2009. ...

I would advise you to contact your local authority yourself rather than waiting for the letter to come through.[/quote]

Thanks cricinfo, I rang them today no record of me on system yet, will call again in a couple of days

For me also it is about travel, I'm fed up getting a schengen visa to travel with my partner every time we go away, also want to make sure I apply before and if any rules change in the future. I think most people just want a decision so they can get out of the immigration sytem once and for all!

Hiya

Just wondering if anybody knows how long it takes for an invitation letter to come through after the approval letter is receieved.

Many thanks

Great thanks jambo, so play dumb unless questioned and then play my wild card, the BC Cerificate.

Many thanks

Thanks Jambo. Just wondering, If I fill in my landing card as before and If I am questioned at passport control, will it not be demmed to be deceptive If I enter on my previous ILR and do not disclosethat I have British Citizenship. In the event they saw I had citizenship do you think If I played du...

Hi I've just got my approval letter through and am hoping to have my ceremony in about 3 weeks time. I will be travelling back to my home country on the 1st July, so I don't think I will have time to apply for my UK passport and receive my country passport back in time before I travel home. Could yo...

thank you elliass, really hope yours is on its way soon

Hi

Has anyone called the Citizenship ceremony office after recieving their approval letter but not the letter of invitation. If so what questions do the Citizenship office ask when booking appointment,

Many thanks

Thank you all for your comments. Kasif I sent a letter with stamps on and a recorded delivery sticker so they could send it back to me. I received all my documents and the approval letter in the same envelope. I just thought it was my documents being sent back, truly didnt think it would be approval...

Hiya

Thanks so much. I am so happy, think its the best weekend I've had in such a long time! Yes I hope so much that the others who are still waiting will get them all soon

Take me off the february club, got the approval letter today. Thanks so much for all the help and advise, sorry to all those still waiting, hoping that you get it really soon.

Hiya

When I called HO a while ago I was asked if the country I came from had national service, when I said it did the call centre advisor said that that can add some time onto processing. No idea why???

I'm from Iran, any other Jan or feb club members from a similar nationality or part of the world?

Me too applied 28th Feb and still waiting

Hiya

I just wondered when applying for a Britis Passport, is it necessary that the counter signatory needs to provide a written refrence on headed paper?

I have heard a few people mention this and I'm confused.

Many thanks

Hiya Chipmunk, sounds like good news. When did you apply, cos I've got a feeling you applied around the time I did.

So hopefully a letter will be winging its way to me soon!

I just called them, got the usual we cant give you any details because it is under 6 months, but he said I can look to see if any letters have been sent to you. He looked but saw no letters had been sent (therefore I know that no decision has been made yet). Maybe this is a better way to ask the adv...

azaankhan Congratualtions. Im hoping mine is on its way, I submitted 4 days after you. I called today but no letters are on their way

Good luck!
