UK Citizenship Oath but will Travel Outside UK in a month

Post by mybruce0520 » Wed Oct 30, 2013 11:51 pm

Dear Team,

Hope you can help me. Had attended UK Citizenship Oath this week but will travel outside UK (country of birth) in less than 4 weeks time. Will there be any problems if I will be using my old passport since the window for British passport application processing is 4- 6 weeks?

Thank you

They say it takes 4 to 6 weeks however from d time lines posted here...its quite obvious its less than a week. .rather a few dayd after ur interview date..

Well...since u have 3to 4 weeks at hand..u shd be able to apply within that frame and get over with it...or else oncr u bk from holidays u certainly can apply .

My daughter recently went abroad on holiday after obtaining BC in May 2013 but not having done her British passport.

On return, she carried her foreign passport, ILR BRP and a copy of her BC Certificate and had absolutely no problems re-entering the UK as their system showed that she is BC.

She did however have to stand in the foreign passport immigration queue and had to complete a landing card.
