Naturalisation Fast track

Post by MisterLogic » Thu May 10, 2012 2:05 am

Hey everyone

i really need help, i've been recently offered employment by an international company in the UK and i have to attend a 1week paid training in Paris, But my Congolese passport has expired, i've got IDR (indefinite leave to remain), I'm unable to obtain a new passport from my embassy in less then 3months. also i found out that France does not accept the CERTIFICATE OF TRAVEL that i am eligible for that the Home office issues.

my only option now is to try and find out if there is a FAST TRACK or PREMIUM SAME DAY service for the NATURALISATION application, as i only have 3weeks before the company cancels my recruitment :( .

i would genuinely appreciate any help, please let me know about any option that could work or anybody that i can contact in regard to this matter!

P.S pardon any typos or grammar!

thank you [/b]

No "fast track" - see this page for waiting times:-

In any case, on completion of the formalities, you still have to attend a citizenship ceremony, at which they give you a certificate, not a passport. Having become a British Citizen, you then have to apply for a passport, which for first-time applicants is not an instant process and involves an interview.

All in all, you're looking at many months down the line before you could travel as a British Citizen, assuming your application is accepted. Your time would be better spent trying to get someone in the Congolese Embassy to help you. You are one of their citizens, and their responsibility.
