I went through an agent and they never mentioned anything about registering first. My father holds a full British Passport. He lives in the UK. According to many people online (especially company xxxxx) there appears to be a potential non standard route to getting a passport based on the colonial s...
the children wont just get it , 3 year continuous residence applied to children who's parent already hold British by descent status and in his case is his there on Ancestral visa , if he pursues his citizenship now his wife and kids would have to re-apply for new visas ( spousal+child settlement)and...
@KasMac.. quick question. I looked at your timeline again and you mention that your son had his citizenship granted on 14 August? How did you find this out before receiving the registration certificate? Did you email them for an update? yes , i haven't heard from them for a loong time so emailed th...
Be sure to actually, physically, check at your post office. My dad sent me an item in June. Hoping it would arrive by my birthday; in September. I only got a letter that it had arrived yesterday. Went to collect. They returned to sender because I "took so long to" collect. Thanks , have b...

So when your application gets approved by a case worker, does he/she post the letter of approval or an e-mail is sent? i contacted to get an update and they told me his citizenship was approved and they sent Registration Certificate to SA ( again my son is under 18 so doesn't need to have ceremony)...
just got an email from Our caseworker , the certificate was sent 1st Class Royal Mail and was told it can take up to 8 weeks to receive it ..... :shock: Nice. Probably 1 week for it to leave the UK, then another 7 weeks to get out of the Johannesburg mail sorting office :( So when your application ...
Here is a little update from us We have applied for our sons citizenship , he was born in the UK in June 2006 (4 weeks before the law was changes) but at the time he wasn't eligible for his British Citizenship due to us not being married, at the time he was registered and lived there with us on his...
Hi all! I've submitted my application with the NCS service and I wanted to update you. I've been at the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea on August 15, and, despite what's written on the website, they were indeed able to give advice on the application. In fact, we went through all the applica...
Thanks. Basically said something similar to above. Did your son's approval letter come in the post? I'm just worried about the shocking postal system in SA.. we are waiting for it .... he is getting his actual registration certificate as he is under 18 and doesn't need ceremony, they sent it out on...
Apparently they are snowed under with applications , biometrics letters is normally sent on the day as acknowledgement , You can email them and request electronic copy of biometrics letter , ours was sent to SA in march..we still haven't received hence the email with update request, they were very ...

Thanks. I have received an acknowledgement email with a case number. Got it the next day after submitting and paying online. Awaiting biometrics now. Keep us in the loop re. TLSContact... I honestly thought that would be a smooth process, considering the fact that I know many people have gotten the...
So I managed to find a call center number for tlscontact. the lady told me that they do not process UK biometrics. Which is crazy, considering I did my biometrics at their office less than 12 months ago for my visa. I have since paid to submit an inquiry with UKVI as the suggested contact address y...
Hello Please can someone advise me about sending documents to UK from South Africa. When my son sends his application and documents to the UK, how does he arrange a courier or Special Delivery of his passport, Birth Certificate etc when his application is complete? I dont trust the passage services...
In Port Elizabeth. I live about 4 hour's drive from there. If I were closer I would simply go and see them in person and ask about the appointment. But taking a day off work and driving 8 hours only to have to do the same another day simply does not make sense. they cannot help you , there is 1 per...
