My wife received her Citizenship approval letter but unfortunately there is a small typo in the Place of Birth, an extra 'h'.
I checked her post-ILR BRP and the previous one and both BRPs have the same typo. I never noticed it before.
I checked my previous copies of the application and they were all correct, so not my fault.
That said, what's the best way to correct the typo? The Place of Birth is shown correctly on my wife's Pakistani passport.
As I understand, I have two options:
1) correct the typo on the Citizenship invitation
How do I do this and how long does the process take?
2) attend the Citizenship ceremony (as advised in the Home Office letter) and correct Citizenship Certificate.
Again, how long is the process likely to take?
Going down this route will mean returning the BRP within 5 days and we'll looking to travel first week of Feb.
3) Proceed with British passport application after attending ceremony and then correct.
Not sure how best to do this and the likely timelines? Is this possible or does the HO strictly adhere to the Citizenship Certificate?
thanks
