Emergency

[Asha1234]

have an urgent case which need your expert advice.

We got ILR along with family (spouse and son). Given daughter was born in UK; we applied for citizenship / British naturalisation certificate directly - and received the same on 1st week of Feb.

On 23rd Jan; my dad passed away and the entire family had to make an unplanned/emergency travel to India.

Now daughter can’t travel back to UK because – her earlier dependent visa has expired and she doesn’t have UK passport yet. My husband applied for Fast track passport today morning – and went to submit all the documents to Passport Office. However, given daughter is not in London/UK currently (but stuck in India) – application was not accepted.

In this situation, what all options we have for her to travel back to UK asap.

Considering she has the British naturalisation certificate which got approved (on 24th Jan – and received the certificate in 1st week of Feb) in less than 3 months, can she travel to UK carrying her Indian passport and British naturalisation certificate? Please note, she doesn’t have a valid dependant BRP for UK.

She needs a valid visa/BRP or RoA to get on a plane. Her certificate is not a travel document or visa and airlines won't accept it.

Can she apply for visa?? She is already a citizen- can we do that.
