Hi - I am in a very difficult situation. Have applied for british passport with my naturalisation certificate and indian passport. I need to travel to india for an emergency, now I dont have either my indian passport or my new british passport.

What should I do? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Any help from mods or senior forum members? Plz help

Withdraw your application?

Have you contact HMPO to speak to them??

Wouldn't the Indian passport be invalid as soon as the holder lost Indian citizenship (in becoming naturalised British?).

Yes, but an Indian citizen has a grace period of 90 days to use the passport without incurring any penalties. The 90 days start from the date of the citizenship ceremony.

Thanks, no net yet because no-one was picking up over the weekend. I will try again tomorrow. Will they be ok to return the passport and naturalisation certificate asap?

By ASAP will they send by post which means another day atleast or can i collect it in person?

Thanks

You wont be able to collect in person. They will send it by post.

Your difficulty will be reentering the UK without a BRO or the airline permitting you to fly.
