Hi,
My wife and I just showed the test results to lady in NCS who took a copy and send to HO. It worked. Just the results is enough.

It has been 2 days I have been waiting for them to call me (as I was advised by advice line) but nothing has happened. Thanks 0845601510...

Although I sent both application in the same bag, My wife's letter was with right address. This is the power of HMPO that cannot give the same address for members of one famil...

Re: Only got my child british passport

I think they would be sent by two different department. If you have not asked for return of document by special delivery, it might come a little bit later.

passport application

Soon we need to apply for 1st passport. We are a family of 3 and I have already got 3 application forms.

As my kid has been included in his mum's passport, how can we summit one passport in both application's envelop? Can we submit all 3 applications in one envelop?

Thanks for advice.

Hi, I am confused if your child's application has been rejected or just HO asked for more info.

Re: Knowledge of language & life in UK - setlmnt & Naturaliz

Hi,
Your IELTS score is well above the B1 level and you should be absolutely fine. I don't think HO minds why you took the test, as long as it is above the B1 level, it should be fine.
