Not exactly sure what should be done; but if I were you, I would call them and ask for the passport back, since its more than 3 months. See the point 1 of the email. Their response would then give you an idea of how they are thinking. At the same time, I would try to figure out how to reach out to t...

Congratulations.
Can you please update the April Club thread, please. It'll be a great help for the rest of us who are waiting.

This looks like a standard email response.

What was you appliction ( 5+1 years etc) and what do you want now?

Did you try to call them in the meantime?

Interim update 31 July 2012 - wrote a letter and email to the naturalisation team ad further naturalisation email address and the Liverpool address. Requesting them to expedite the process as I have a job offer abroad and having Brit citizenship by september will be an extra plus point. Thank almig...

I had provided all the address (including current one) in 1.17.

I left the date blank.

NCS was happy with it

Getting the approval does not make you a BC. You have to attend the ceremony and get the certificate to become a BC. So, in your case, you will still be a citizen of your home country when you travel back, even if you have received the approval. A child becomes a citizen when the letter comes throug...

you can also call UKBA. They happily advised us whether our referee was OK. What I understood talking to them is that if the person is working in a managerial capacity in a respected (i.e public listed or well known) company; or in a professional practise, theyy are happy. Best to give them a call i...

Do you seriously believe anyone can answer your question?

I think its best to act on facts as known today - tomorrow is another day.

I think its taking close to 4 months these days. Judging by the posts on the forum, late April applications are yet to arrive.

Incidentally I applied on 25th April; and nothing has come yet

That is my understanding too.

From what I know, one parent need to apply for citizenship along with the child ; and the other parent need to have ILR. There is no requirement for both parent to apply together. After you get citizenship and renounce the Indian passport; what can UK govt do if you leave UK? They certainly cant tak...

Thanks Jambo.

Now while UK govt will not be bothered by this, they surely will be aware that the passport is invalid. Do they not care about that. Or do they simply overlook it) I would not say they are surely aware that the Indian passport is invalid. They might not be familiar with all the rules of other gover...

Yes but my question is related to travel abroad (to India) after british citizenship so any advise would be great Not sure what your question really is. If you are asking whether someone, as a british citizen, can travel to India on Indian visa; the answer is : yes you can. Beyond that, not sure wh...

Thanks Jambo. She does have her ILR, as do I. (As an aside, and simply to satisfy my idle curiosity here is another question. So, when she gets her UK citizenship, her Indian passport technically lapses immediately. So technically she is travelling on invalid passport. Now while UK govt will not be ...

It suddenly occured to me that (possibly) I am in a slightly unusual situation Me and my daughter have applied for BC in April ( my daughter is 12 and applied as MN1) and now we are in India for our holidays. We are getting back on 7th Sep. We hope to get the approval while we are away. Its not a pr...

1. Even if your application runs into a problem, it will not effect your wife and child ( however I am not suggesting you will have a problem) 2. What sort of caution was that and who exactly gave it to you ( and what did you actually do?) Caution is recorded by the police, but it get spent either i...
