Hi , i have searched hi and low and cant get a definite answer on this , can anyone please confirm, at which stage do you get your docs ( original passports) back after making a 1st Adult UK Passport application ? Do you get your doc back after your interview or before , aka after they have process ...

Just as a follow up i am now back in the UK , the only option for us was to get Returning Resident visas in our replaced passports & cough up the £330 per person they wanted . as a side note we did get some help from our regional MP with pushing the application through in the short time we had ...

Alo .. yup seems were just going to have to bite the bullet and apply for the "returning resident" visas ... we have a very reasonable travel insurance but it only covers £200 p/p for lost documents

Hi Kitty , thanks for the info but I was informed by Visa Centre that ILR cannot be re-issued whilst out of the UK , therefore they advised returning resident is the visa required.

Oooh , i just read this statement

"if born after one or both parents has their own ILR, then child automatically British from the moment of birth, but"

if this is the case both me and the mom both have ILR's , does that mean baby qualifies for British passport automatically ?

Hi Everyone we can submit out naturalisation application form no earlier than 27.03.2011 , our1st baby should be 1 month old then. My Questions : Will we have to pay the full child fee £470 to get the little one naturalised with us ? I see there is a special fee for a husband & wife applying to...

LOL 17th March , mate u better get in your time machine and go back and attend your appointment

viresh it took HO ,at least 2 months to turn around the letter for changing employment , but that was in 2009

No I did not , as i am still employed for the same company under same T/C, just my company name has changed. i.e in 2009 i just submitted a letter of change for official doc , and they confirmed the company trading name change in writing. then this year 2010 , we were acquired but are still trading ...

viresh , u will need a letter from HO , as my company name / job / TC or location did not change on the 2nd acquisition is was fine , however if your company name has changed you will need to inform HO , i did this back in 2008 and they send me back a acknowledgement of company name change. if you d...
