Awesome service from the passport office... TNT service also ok.

Finally the end of an almost 6 year journey, from initial spouse visa application through FLR, ILR, naturalisation and finally receipt of the new Dark Blue British passport.

This forum has been a great help and beacon of hope. Keep up the good work and wish everybody success in their applications and endeavours..... signing off...
