HMPO interview

Post by Bilibay » Mon Jul 31, 2017 10:21 am

Dear all,

I would really appreciate some advice on a possible issue during my passport interview tomorrow.

When filling out the passport application form I established that my father's place of birth was different to the one I originally thought it was and had already included in the naturalisation application. I included the correct place of birth on the passport application submitted last week(country and date of birth are all the same it's just the town which is different to what I put on the citizenship application).

I now worry what the interviewer might make of it and how to explain if asked. Is it ok to admit it was an honest error on my naturalisation application since I always genuinely believed that at the time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The first passport interview is to establish your identity - so they will ask all manner of questions, even which bus route you take to work. If it comes to this point then explain sticking to the facts.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.
