Emrah - if you used the NCS team then I think ask to speak to them. I think they'll be able to either answer your question or direct you to who in the Council can help answer your questions. (That's my opinion anyway).

Telephone number for HO to check BC application progress

Apologies for asking if this has already been covered but what is the current telephone number to call to check BC progress / speak to someone about progress?

Maybe this is a good thing to speed things up - for example, noticed Tar123zan's letter of approval and invitation was dated on...

thanks so much! Any Idea when to apply for Passport? What is the process? Can I make a passport appointment now itself or should I have to wait? Kindly advise.
