Passport with ILR lost, eligible for BC
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2012 8:48 pm
Situation: Unfortunately my Indian passport with ILR got stolen in the UK just days before I was to apply for british citizenship (AN1).
Question: Can I still apply for BC without the current passport? I have the police report & photocopies of the lost passport. If I would have used NCS(council) service then they anyhow dont send the passport to Home office.
OR
Do I have to queue up at HCI london for new passport, affidavits etc etc & then get NTL stamp & then apply for BC.
I dont have any urgent need for travel & can wait for BC process, will I be able to bypass getting new passport\ntl. Anyone faced such situation? Suggestions welcome.
thanks
