Thanks akhurshid. I asked it to be delivered secured too. As I've seen it lately it takes a week time to get them back

It can take up to couple of weeks for documents to be sent back. Have seen few people receiving the documents a week after receiving the passport.

As far as I read in the guidance booklet, it says all uncancelled!! I sent of my current passport (not the expired) on the 26 and got it back today! I paid extra for secure return so it was quick!

Hi there ladies. I am just about to complete my 3 years of naturalization time. Just wondered if anyone knew whether you would have to complete the whole time of the naturalisation before you applied, or whether you can apply a few weeks before the 3 years are due. (I applied for ILR 4 weeks before...

How did you manage to get a NICOP which is valid for 18 years? The validity was reduced to 7 years from 10 about 4 years ago.

Alot of people on here pay the extra fee for NCS. But it doesn't necessarily make it faster. I sent my app via post next day special delivery (~£7) and received the approval as fast as anyone else that paid the extra for NCS. I don't see the point of it unless they give you back your original passp...
