British Passport & Dependent

Post by UK007 » Fri Jul 07, 2017 6:39 pm

Hello everyone,

now that I have received my approval & booked my ceremony for 29th July. Couple of questions:

1. Can I apply for British passport online now without having the certificate on my hand ?

2. I am on ILR SET(LR), my wife is on FLR(M), after I get the citizenship certificate I have to send my biometric card to HO, what happens with my wife's visa, is it still valid until the expiry date on biometric card ?


Thanks a lot.

2. I am on ILR SET(LR), my wife is on FLR(M), after I get the citizenship certificate I have to send my biometric card to HO, what happens with my wife's visa, is it still valid until the expiry date on biometric card ? YES


Thanks a lot.

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.

Thank you Casa.

Do you know if countersignatory needs to fill in any section & certify photo for online application ?
