Dear Team,
Hope you can help me. Had attended UK Citizenship Oath this week but will travel outside UK (country of birth) in less than 4 weeks time. Will there be any problems if I will be using my old passport since the window for British passport application processing is 4- 6 weeks?
Thank you

My daughter recently went abroad on holiday after obtaining BC in May 2013 but not having done her British passport.
On return, she carried her foreign passport, ILR BRP and a copy of her BC Certificate and had absolutely no problems re-entering the UK as their system showed that she is BC.
She did however have to stand in the foreign passport immigration queue and had to complete a landing card.
