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.

my new born daughter (nothing apply yet waiting for my decision and then apply for british passport for her).
Did you apply for citizenship through NCS?

I would suggest you apply for your child's passport as soon as possible as once you attend your ceremony you are required to return your BRP card to HO and this will create a problem if you do not have your BRP to prove child was born after you got ILR.

hi CR001,

I applied through NCS, I have all my original documents,
i was planning to apply once i receive my approval as i have to send all my original documents to get my daughter's passport, which might be a problem if i have to attend a ceremony without documents.
and they are taking longer these days to get first chid passport aswell

please suggest me.....

You can apply for a 1 week fast track passport for the child.
