Re: Check the status of your application online - New service

@ baddy, I agree with you, system isn't fair at all especially when they send their quick response message of how applications are dealt with in order of date received which is so untrue judging by the different timelines seen here. We just need to encourage each other that though it will tarry but ...

I believe you should as it won't cost anything to, better be safe, there must be a reason it is required. I did declare mine.

Re: change the address for passport delivery

-I still have my foreign passport - my country allows dual nationality. If I can't have the British passport in time, I *think* I can go out of the country with a foreign passport plus the nationality certificate? Is it correct? Thanks everyone.

Re: change the address for passport delivery

Hi Yes Delays but not very much, my experience two weeks ago; called HMPO to give an England address as I also reside in Scotland but moving homes and didn't want any complications but it did get complicated, I wasn't informed on the call that a proof of address is required, I only came to learn abo...

Re: Documents Required for MN1

Thanks Shinebright. I would have thought that a child born to a British father won’t have to register himself under MN1 but apply straight for a passport but I am not an expert so must be missing something! Thanks My child was born Jan 2013 while I wasn't divorced from ex and I was on EEA residence...

Re: Application Approved and then refused!!

By the looks of it, passports were sent without ceremony, this is strange, could be HMPO is trying to cover their backs for their error.

Re: Documents Required for MN1

I had PR and just thought to add mine, with HO better provide more than less, my child was born in 2013 to British father in the UK but as I was not divorced from previous marriage he was refused British nationality, so had to register him in June 2017, after so much drama with HMPO.

Re: Application Approved and then refused!!

It appears to have gone wrong, you could have left it and take time off to come for your ceremony, it is going to be hard to convince the HO about future intentions, you probably have to return into the country and then follow it up with the proof of short term contracts and all, it is weird HMPO wo...

Re: HMPO questions Naturalisation Status withdraws passport application

From my point of view, future intentions is not limited to two years only, rather it's a long term thingy, you can be away for two years for 'xy' reasons and then return to your country which any country's citizen would do, so you have an argument there, although it's all complicated from the start,...

Can I ask if this is just your own assumption/theory?
