Right of Abode (within UK) - Processing Times

[Andyjayne]

I was born in Singapore in 1990. I was adviced by the home office that because my mum is English and had a UK passport and my grandmother is English I am able to apply for ROA.

Was your mum born IN the UK or abroad?

She was born in the UK.

You are likely British by descent and can apply for a British passport directly.

I am sadly unable to as Singapore does not allow dual nationality. Thus having to apply for right to abode.

Hello, does anyone know the current processing times for CoE-RoA application? I applied for my child nearly 10 days back in India but yet to receive one. Was wondering if anyone can share their recent experience/processing times?

Hello,
Having got the birth certificates (UK and India via HCI) and the Indian passport , I am planning to apply for ROA /COE (within UK) for my new borns.

In my opinion its seems a straightforward case , as we (parents, holding Indian passport ) have been on ILR since 4 years . We are looking to travel to India in early December this year.

However whilst filling the online form , I observe that they mention that it would take upto 6 months for most cases .

I was wondering what is the current processing times. And also if there are alternative modes to obtain the same in a shorter time-frame.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

I have been trying to get a similar timeframe from others on the forum, but no response so far.

I applied for my son around 25 days back and still waiting for it. I have read on the forum that many got it within 1-2 weeks in the past, so I am little worried, although my case is quite straightforward I believe.

I will post it here once I get it for my son so that you can get a indication of current processing times.

Finally I received the ROA!

It took exactly 60 calendar days.

I hope this helps to understand the processing times from outside the UK at the moment.

Many thanks to all the forum members who helped in this process

Hi

Did anyone attend biometric appointment? I sent two photos along with application and checklist. I got an reminder letter to book for biometric but no link to book any. Even UKVI account does not show any link to book appointment.
Any experience ?

Thanks

56 days and counting. Still have not received my application back. Can any one tell me how long did theirs take please. Just want to gauge how long more do I have to wait...

I read on the UKHO website that the processing time for a child's Right of Abode (ROA) application from outside the UK is currently 3 weeks. Can you confirm if this information is still accurate?

any latest timeline for applying Right of Abode from Outside UK (India)?

Right of Abode application applied 2 months ago and no news. Not even a email confirmation that they have received application and processing.
I tried to call Home Office and they told me it can take 6 months!!
Is this true? At the time of application they said it can take 8 weeks.
This is for my mother who is in theory is renewing her Certificate of Entitlement but now is has to be a fresh application.
It's ridiculous there is no tracking or acknowledgement from Home Office.
