Hi all,
Now that the NDRS is gone, has anyone had any experience with how long the HO keeps the supporting documents? Of most concern: How long do they keep the passport?

You can apply through the new service UKVCAS and keep hold of original documents.
It you post it yourself, HO keeps everything till a decision is made.

HI Cr001
AS i had experience of using UKVCAS during ILR, my question here is does home office charges extra for using sopra steria? i mean if they are not charging extra for british citizenship is it not better people use this new service and avoid giving away their passports and other docs for few months. PLease let me know if you have info on this as i am planning to apply after 2 weeks
