Hi Experts

I have received case decision via email on 12th JAN that my citizenship has been successful and I shall wait for the letter to be received by post. Nothing been received yet and I'm out of country. Can you please advise what to do? Many Thanks

Also see this thread and discuss your case there.

You'll have to return to the UK to attend the citizenship ceremony and apply for your first British passport.

There have been two recent cases where after the applicants had attended the citizenship ceremony in the UK, they were investigated because they made their first British passport application from abroad.

If you are currently an Indian citizen, you may then have to surrender your Indian passport and apply for OCI before returning to India (if that is your short-term goal).
