IPS holding my application for close to 2 months now
Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2012 10:04 pm
I have a real dilemma. I submitted application for british first passport on 09/02/12. In the application i included my foreign passport. I have travel plans for April 13.
Its almost 7 weeks now. They sent a 2 letters to my counter signatory and the letters never arrived. They then sent a letter to me saying they have rejected my counter signatory and that i should fill a new form with a new counter signatory. I did that and today they informed me that they have sent a letter to the new counter signatory. Just praying that it will arrive as this is taking way longer than i ever expected.
IPS is refusing to send back my foreign passport. With the Easter holidays just 2 weeks away im starting to be restless.
My question is: Can i withdraw this application and re-submit when i come back? And How can i force IPS to give me back my foreign passport? Also is it possible to postpone the passport interview until i get back first week of May?
Its a family gathering which i cant afford to miss
