CCan I apply for Britiish passport while I am waiting for the outcome of my naturalisation application, or do I must wait for the approval letter first and then apply? Please advise. :?:

No, because you are not British. And you may face refusal.

Neither will you be able to apply for a British passport when you receive your approval letter. You'll have to wait until after you have attended your citizenship ceremony and you have attended an interview. (unless you have applied through the NCS joint BC/passport service, with no interview required).

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
