Re: British Passport application processing timelines (only)

Itiswell:
You don't need to send your ILR card with your application.
Check the guidance they provide with application forms - there's a table indicating which documents to enclose with the various application types.
Good luck!

Re: May 2014 - Naturalisation Application Timeline

Alok,
Maybe it's not at risk... I'm not too sure of it myself - I'm simply retelling what we were told at our NCS.
I'm pretty sure you would have grounds for an argument (if it came to that) since this rule was not provided to applicants.

Good luck.

Re: May 2014 - Naturalisation Application Timeline

Hi Alok,

I am aware that this rule is not mentioned in any document available to applicants - as I said, we were unaware of it beforehand.
However, it is a rule in the guidance provided to the NCS, which is not available to the general public.
