Hi,
I had applied for citizenship on 29th july and completed 6 months on 29th Jan. I am on Indian passport which is about to expire on 19th feb.
I never got any email from UKVI about any delay or whatsoever. I have emailed complaints for the delay in reply and received standard reply
Should i renew my indian passport and wait for approval? Note sure what can be done and what not.
would appreciate a reply on this
thanks

For naturalisation it's not an issue if your foreign passport expires during the process.
However, as a rule I would always renew my other passport as may may need it for travel.
Not aware whether or how the OCI process ties into this.

You can find steps to take here https://www.immigrationboards.com/month ... 43483.html

Renewing your assport won't cause a problem. Without a passport you won't be able to travel.
