Hi! I'm sure I can speak for everyone when say that this forum has been the most helpful tool I've had for immigration queries and has possibly saved me tonnes of money on legal advice etc so thank you THANK YOU!
After almost a year of
battling the UKVI visa that my son was declined for and waiting for another few months for his British citizenship (under Section 3(2)), we have now finally received his certificate of registration!
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
I have noticed under the forum thread on application timelines that everyone seems to be getting a passport as well together with their application form for British registration - can you kindly inform me if we are able to get one quickly as well please? My son is in the Philippines at the moment and if the application is made from there, it can take up to 16 weeks according to the Home Office website (despite the fact that I am submitting the application from Hampshire since I have all the documents with me)!
A normal passport only takes a week to process and receive if applied from within the country - am I not able to achieve such service with my son's application? I haven't seen him for nearly a year now and would really love my family to be together really
Thank you in advance for any help you may have.
