Re: Applied 6 months ago, HO asking for more proofs

Thanks for your answer. No I don't. I didn't had ILR. I had a blue one (Blue Card) as a card for residency that's been given to me 5 years ago?

Re: Applied 6 months ago, HO asking for more proofs

Thank you again.The BRP is the biometric that we've done it at the begging isn't it? I don't have any other permit. So , I have to return all the letters with the biometrics after the ceremony? Where do I send them?

Re: Applied 6 months ago, HO asking for more proofs

I found thihttps://passportapplication.service.gov.uk/ips-olc/s site for online passport applications. Is it ok to apply here? Also do I need to send my original British certificate to them? Do I need to wait for the ceremony first isn't it and after that to apply for my passports? Thanks
