Traveling on your existing passport should not cause issues with your application as long as you have the passport with you already. As its only 3 days I can't even see that being a problem should the home office want to contact you regarding your application via letter.

Home Office also sent me a letter on 16 September. This letter...

Still around, but nothing for me. I try and pay a visit wherever possible.

You can try and contact them via phone on 0300 123 2253 and see if they will expedite your request.

Am I the only one that is experiencing full blown ad pop ups that navigate away from the site? Using a mobile device so I can't blame malware.

From what I'm learning by researching and also even from the answers by Amber in this topic. Is that if the home office can prove you broke an immigration law, (such as overstaying) then it's pretty much done deal they will refuse your naturalisation regardless of what proof you send on how you were...

Hi Siraj, Thank you for replying. Basically the home office has said that I have used my Travel document to visit my country of birth when it said on the TD that I shouldn't. There fore I do not meet the good character required . I have just found out that there is precedent In my case. And most ha...

report should be lodged, don't know why police ignoring it

Take this example of what is required to happen. Suppose the officer at the front desk was avoiding paper work.

Can't you just take the letter from the PO as proof of loss? It's either that or you retry the police station again explaining your situation to another officer but I suppose their reluctance to issue a crime reference is because no crime has been committed for them to investigate and have a case fi...

Are those recent changes to that annex?

Relax guys & any girls.

It can take up to 2 weeks for payment and remember there's been a few bank holidays in between.

They're quick to reject, generally speaking, its within a month or two. Are there any stats to back this up on refusal's in that timeline as I would like to compare? Some have waited a whole year only to be told no after the whole debacle and I'm still astounded how changes that came into effect in...
