Hi all. I hold a British nationality and my mum, is Brazilian and wants to come and visit me for a few months.

Hi Guys, Quick question: I'm applying for my British passport and as it it is my first British passport, the form asks for a British person to sign the form and to state that she/he knows me for at least two years.

I'm thinking it might be only the first letter and we'll get the proper COA later. what do you reckon? Thanks Geo ...

My wife is waiting since last year Sep-2008 We sent all paperwork 16th Sep, 23rd received COA and been waiting since then! Welcome to a 3rd world country! or even worse...
