I think once your child gets the British passport, you need to apply for a residence permit and exit clearance certificate. Another option would be to apply for OCI.

It’s strange that they are taking appointments for OCI but not surrender of passport. I have emailed the embassy and VFS, but no reply.

If a Naturalised British citizen who has not applied for a British passport, can they apply for a RoA on the foreign passport (Indian) which does not allow dual nationality?
As of Indian immigration is concerned, isn’t the RoA considered just another British Residence Permit?

Applied on 10th march, processing started on 16th march, Liverpool HMPO

Contacted them on twitter and was told my application is put on hold for interview and they will contact me when the interviews start.

Contacted them and got this response: “although applications are taking longer, we are continuing to progress them as soon as we can. We can only progress the passport application where the original supporting d...
