Hi ,
Today I applied for my Naturalisation and Passport at Wandsworth NCS.
My appointment was at 3:00 and I reached there by 2:45 . Since No one was waiting in the room , the counsellor asked if I can come in .
Below are the interesting things :
My AN application was fine but I made some mistakes in the passport application and photographs .
1.As per guidance I wrote My name and DOB on 2 photographs and other photograph was signed by referee . He wanted a photo which was empty /not written anything on the rear side of the photo graph . When asked , He told HO will add some reference info on them while processing .
The counsellor was kind enough to spare me some time and asked if I can get a new set of photographs .I went to the post office next door and got the photos.( I knew that there is no requirement for the referees to sign the passport form , and photos I enquired it with Kent Council) .
2.I wrote my mobile number in section 2 , and wrote my fathers name in blue ink instead of black ( all other fields were written in black) .
By the time I was back with new photos , he had the new passport application filled and was waiting for my return .
Had problem with my long name which doesn't fit in the space provided in the application form , He called HO/HMPO to find out the solution and was asked to write my full name on a separate sheet and attach it to the form . He explained me that my name will not be printed in full on the passport and there will be an observation written about this in the passport .
Once I signed the application , He asked some questions about my eligibility criteria , Like > 18YO, sound health etc .when He asked me about breach of Immigration laws, I told that my tier-1 ext was refused in 2012 and had to appeal in Tribunal and won. He immediately call HO to confirm if I was in breach of law and found out that I was not in any breach .
Due to the issue with the photos , I missed todays post ( My application will be sent to HO tomorrow ) .
NB : Any one attending Wandsworth note that Combined applications will only processed between 9:00AM and 3:00 PM . No more joint applications after that .If you are attending appointment at 3:00 make sure that you are right on target , No issues with application . Else application will be posted next day .
Let me know if any one needs any other info .
Regards ,
