Account Drop with my cheque no: 22/04/2014
I have not received my original documents, interview leter. I have also called several times to know the status but my application does not appear on their screen despite give them my barcode. I don't know what is going on and I am concerned, as today make it the 5th week of waiting after applying

Can anybody advice me please?

[t0mmy]

Am I the only one who has yet to receive Passport after Interview then, Seems most people get theirs few days after, I had my interview on the 12th April and yet to receive the passport. I sent my application to Durham office and didnt get interview letter until about 3 weeks later.

I had interview on 10 th April and still no
passport received. I had a call from hmpo Peterboroug.they wanted to clarify my name .. They got confused between my surname and first name during the interview. After clarifying my name they said the passport will be ordered for print soon. I am expecting it on Tuesday/Wednesday. Very disappointed by the whole process

Interestingly I am still waiting, not in a hurry to be honest just wondering out loud... Interviewed on the 12th April by the way.

I am sure your is on its way - if you haven't already received yours. I received mine last Tuesday.
I will advise calling peterborough or durham directly. I had a phone call from peterborough office enquiring about my surname and first name. I am not sure how they got confused.

Hi
Just want to check about Biometric card?
Do we need to send our ILR Biometric card with our non UK passport while applying for British Passport?

Thanks

[milan69]

No you don't. You are a British citizen now.

[Haidi5]

No you don't. You are a British citizen now.

Thanks for reply.
So I just need to send current non UK passport?

[milan69]

1. Your current passport
2. Certificate of naturalization
3. Filled form
4. Signed photograph by a referee

I suggest you use Post Office Check & Send.

No you don't. You are a British citizen now.

I did use the Check and Send service at Uxbridge Post Office and guess what ? Lady at the post office insisted that I have to send my ILR BRP card or she won't accept my application... I know this sounds crazy but I explained her that there is no point of me sending the BRP card as I am sending my ORIGINAL Naturalization certificate. Since this discussion was getting into an argument, I sent my ILR BRP card.

Problem with the Check and Send service is that the people checking your application doesn't know much and just think as though they are working for HMPO. I know it's mental. Just absolutely MENTAL!!!

I would have shown guide page with documents required without arguing. And if even this would not have worked out, I'd just leave for another post office.

[Zeeshan123]

I had to submit my ILR card too . I been to hammersmith post office and he said he wont accept my application without it and then i went to shephard bush one and he said the same thing too so then i gave it to him and to be honest i don't really need it now . Just wanted to share .
