Travel before receiving Citizenship certificate

[ritikabisht]

Hi
I currently have an ILR and applied for Citizenship for myself and my daughter which has been successful (received email confirmation). However I haven't received invite to attend citizenship ceremony and also have not received citizenship certificate for my daughter. I need to travel to India on an urgency and had a few questions.

1. How will I receive my daughter's citizenship certificate, given she is not required to attend ceremony?

2. My daughter's current UK visa expired last week. Can she travel to India on her Indian passport and return using her British citizenship certificate?

3. Is there any process for considering/expediting such cases on urgency and compassionate grounds

Thanks for the help with these...

Cheers

1. If you have applied for her as part of your application then you will get it after your ceremony.
2. Stupid will not allow herto board a plan with British citizenship certificate, she would need a passport to board a flight.
3. You could try emailing ukvi asking them to send your certificates to your council and then hopefully your council will be able to arrange a ceremony on a short notice, and THEN the passport office will need to process your passports if possible.

Hi,

Thank you for your response.

Can I apply for a passport for my daughter without receiving her citizenship certificate?

Unlikely.
