Hello everyone,
now that I have received my approval & booked my ceremony for 29th July. Couple of questions:
1. Can I apply for British passport online now without having the certificate on my hand ?
2. I am on ILR SET(LR), my wife is on FLR(M), after I get the citizenship certificate I have to send my biometric card to HO, what happens with my wife's visa, is it still valid until the expiry date on biometric card ?
Thanks a lot.

2. I am on ILR SET(LR), my wife is on FLR(M), after I get the citizenship certificate I have to send my biometric card to HO, what happens with my wife's visa, is it still valid until the expiry date on biometric card ? YES
Thanks a lot.

Thank you Casa.
Do you know if countersignatory needs to fill in any section & certify photo for online application ?
