Ah you mean your naturalisation / citizenship application is taking that long? or you are already British and have applied for a passport?

Thanks Derivaz, I think the IPS service is excellent. The interview was informal, and the lady was very chatty ( wanting to know more than they should though) lol. However, am glad the journey came to an end. Getting a passport should be just a formality, it's a right you have as a citizen unless y...

4 months to get your passport??? that's very strange

It's likely due to the new B1 requirement being introduced and an expected 'rush'. If they've received the application (I assume you've tracked this) then just be patient, if there is a problem with payment details, they will contact you. They probably got loads of applications before the 28th of O...

Hmm, didn't know there was added "risks" depending on how you acquired citizenship. If you're not born British from a BC parents than you have less "protection". Not that I want to sound like a lawyer to a defendant or anything. I'm not sure it depends on that; it seems like some of the people whos...

Snowden or Assange are not British, and we are discussing British law. By the way none of them had their citizenship revoked. Snowden's passport has been revoked. Revoking a passport or travel document does not mean revocation of citizenship. UK has confiscated and cancelled passports of hundreds o...

Wonder if someone can settle this. I'm having a debate with a friend who says he knows of at least 3 cases where people have been deported back to Pakistan after being involved in drugs. He is adamant that these people had British passports, although they were originally from Pakistan and came to t...

Hi there, I applied for british citizenship on the 10nth of this month through post. Earlier today I noticed that they have deducted the naturalisation fee not including ceremony fee. I haven't received any mail from them stating if I am denied or not but Does that mean I was denied or do they just...

Ah, I found it, very useful, cheers

Did they take long to reply?

If you have the information then yes provide it. As far as "just in case" is concerned, what if the house of commons and house of lords meets overnight, passes a new law, and queen gives her consent and the whole law changes in the morning "just in case". What if the sky falls down before you apply...

Yes. Actually, people need to grow up. Naturalisation applications use to take much longer. But no matter how quick HO makes decisions, migrants are just like impatient kids who want that red lollypop instantly in their mouth. I am going to send a suggestion to HO to raise naturalisation fees to £ ...

Those sections are actually for people who are applying for passports by claiming to be British Citizens through parents and/or grandparents etc. Naturalised citizens get a passport because they have been naturalised as British citizens, and not because of their parents or grandparents. Date of bir...

Approximate DOB for parents and grandparents is fine. You can also write "not known". ah ok, because they also ask for their date of marriage or civil partnership; I don't think that civil partnerships existed back then!! I'll ask the oldest members of my family and try to get as close as possible;...
