British Citizenship - unreturned documents by HO

Post by eman4730 » Mon Nov 13, 2017 8:02 pm

Hello!

When I applied for British Citizenship I sent to the Home Office approximately 1,5 kg of my supporting paperwork evidence. My British Ceremony took place two months ago and I still have not received my documents back even though I have sent them a letter to ask them to return the paperwork.

What can I do in order to get my documents back please?

Your advice would be highly appreciated!

Best Wishes,

Eva

If they were indeed 1.5 kg and you did not send return envelope, there is a chance your documents are sitting in the local delivery depot waiting for correct postage to be paid. Worth giving it a shot.

Hello and thank you for your prompt reply.

I have not received any post reminder to say that there is anything outstanding for me in the local delivery depot. I have no problem with paying for postage. Since nobody replied to my letter where I requested for my documents to be returned, is there any phone number that I could use and contact somebody about this matter so I could resolve this issue as soon as possible please?

Thank you for understanding.

It might be better to send a letter by special delivery stating your case reference numbers so there is a record of your inquiry. Phone numbers tend to be for a call centre with the agents not having direct access to details or case workers.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

Hi Eva,

Did you manage to resolve this and how, I am having exactly the same issue currently. I have recieved my approval since Feb 2018 and my naturalisation certificate but I am yet to receive any of my supporting docs. I sent a self return tracked postage to them, i am yet to receive any feedback.

Thanks,
Modupe
