Thanks keerthi

How do we pay for the passport fees? Is there any payment form to be filled in or we can pay by our debit/credit card at HMPO?

Also, can anyone tell how long the fast track appointment lasts for?
and also the question regarding the child previous passport.

thanks keerthi

do you know how for how long the fast track appointment lasts for?

Hi there

Just wondering whether anyone has any idea of Passport fast track appointments? I have booked one for my child's first passport in Liverpool.

Any idea how long the appointment lasts, and do they really send the passport in weeks time?

so only naturalisation certificate doesn't mean that the child is British Citizen? and can't enter the UK?

Hi folks Just want to ask whether my child (3 yr old) is able to travel with his Naturalisation Certificate on my home country passport? Or is it necessary to have British passport for his travel. By the time we plan to travel his dependent Tier 1 general would have expired, but we'll definitely hav...

Hi bennivess I had the same issue where the health visitor and GP and dentist, all refused to sign straightaway. Luckily my son's nursery head teacher signed as a professional referee. Check with your GP, as some GP's take charges and then do the sign. Also it is not important for a professional ref...

I have got it signed from my British friend aged 32.

Finally the nursery manager has agreed to sign it, so I'll get that done today hopefully too.

Thanks for the replies guys.

1. Referee is confirming that they know you, not your child. 2. If you have registered accountant in the company then they can sign it. Any professional neighbours you can ask? 3. Referee may be contacted to confirm and I think details can be checked so try to get someone who is registered. Thanks ...

anyone ??
seniors/gurus??

Your docs looks fine, but was just wondering like if your initial Tier 1 was granted on 06 Jan 2009, and you entered on 18th March 2009, i.e. within 90 days, so your 5 yr period is counted since 06th Jan 2009 and you could have applied for ILR 28 days before 06 Jan 2014? Why did you wait until March...
