Panicking??? You shouldn't be.

Your time in the country from 2002 to 2005 as a student also counts towards your timeline for ILR. So your application should be straight forward and you can send it by post.

Congrats krimith-. Let's go to paris this Saturday. We can leave at about 6am and catch a very early ferry from Dover to Calais.

I just couldnt resist myself posting on this topic!!! First and foremost, congratulations to you matinuk2. Secondly, I've come across a few replies on different topics written by a certain 'Wanderer'. This person is a complete muppet. His replies on this thread proved how immature this person is. Th...

Who do the reception/front desk staffs at elephant and castle passport office think they are??? They are a bunch of rude/very unpleasant/loud people who think they're a class above you.. You basically need to JUST SHUT UP and LISTEN. Oh and not to mention the interviewers... They're there to try and...

fcuk19, was just wondering if your conviction is fairly recent? Or were you already convicted before you applied for ILR. Thanks unfortunately i drove my car 25mins before my insurance started!! i wasnt disqualified though! It was really unfortunate, Are you aware of that the car was uninsured? If n...

Hi Freddfrog

Thanks for your prompt reply. Really appreciate it. Many Thanks.

Hi All

Just wondering if all you kind members of this forum who've recently attended an interview at the passport office can let us know of the questions that you've been asked?

Thanks

Appointments at the French embassy are released every Friday afternoon for the following week. So I'd advise you to start checking/booking on their website today as from 3pm until probably 3:30pm.

Hope this info can help you get an appointment in the near future.

Is anyone aware of a way of getting the telephone agent to tell the outcome of the application? They cannot do it over the phone, is there another way for them to communicate the decision back to me other than by post? I'm afraid they'll never tell you the outcome over the phone. You'll have to wai...

Yes you can (i'm talking from experience). However, you'll need to contact a solicitor.

As I have posted before. You DO NOT have to declare it. It was just a fixed penalty. People who have been arrested and cautioned by the police and whose details are on the PNC DO NOT have to declare it when applying... NOW in your case it was just a fixed penalty + you didnt get arrested.. so RELAX ...

Hi everyone. I wonder if someone can help me. I am applying for citizenship application of my wife ( AN application) & registration as British citizen of my children ( MN application) My Wife & children First entered UK as my dependent on In april 2004but then left UK on 26/04/2004. As the ...

You do not have to declare it as it is not a criminal conviction. You just paid an on the spot fine. So dont worry about it as it will not affect your application nor do you have to mention it.

All passports should be sent.

Thanks for your reply freddfrog. I might probably give them a ring just in case they already have the reference number so that I can get an appointment earlier.

Hello All Just a few questions regarding British passport application. Once you've sent your application, and once the passport office returns your documents, do they send you a letter as well asking you to make an appointment to attend an interview? Whats the average waiting time between you making...

If they have a British passport, then both of your referees should write down their passport number. I'm sure your GP will put down his passport number as GP's often act as referees for British passport applicants where putting down the referee's passport number is a must. However, I think that GP's...

As JulesN19 mentioned, if you are a British citizen, then your wife will be eligible in March 2011. However, eligible in March 2011 not for a British passport but she will be able to apply for naturalisation. Once she has been naturalised as a British citizen, it is then that she can apply for a Bri...

Receiving acknowledgement letter does not mean that your application is with the case worker. It simply means that your application has been received by the home office.

Can I take oath ceremony and then apply for British passport from India? Looking forward to your reply.. That would be an issue, since on naturalisation ur ILR will be invalid and as u r then a BC ur Indian Citizenship is lost and passport void. ILR becomes invalid after naturalisation? What if som...

No they don't. To apply for citizenship, both of your referees have to sign in the referees section on the AN form.

It is only when applying for a british passport (to which you can apply after your citizenship application has been successful), that your referee has to sign on the photo.

Hi All

Just a quick question regarding passports.

When you apply for your first UK passport, do you have to ring your local passport office to book an interview? or can you do it online? Will they normally offer you the earliest available appointment?

Thanks

£80! RIP OFF!

So does that mean that people would have to pay £655 for the application and £65 for the ceremony then?
