Very pleased, I believe now the hardest bit has been done, it has been some journey, good luck to the rest of you especially ICEBREAKER, mate I am sure it’s nerve racking to see others getting the approval when they sent the application weeks after you, be patient (there is another member on here if you read few pages ago ‘Joe London’ who was in the same situation and did get his approval after waiting longer than expected, so better late than never .)
Yes Surya, this is what I submitted (not) just the passport. Test certificate, I also give children'd birth certificate. I think it was required somewhere dont know where.saurya_s wrote:What are the documents- as mentioned here http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... tural1.pdfedwardlobo wrote:Date application sent: 15 November 2010

1. Evidence of your identity - Passport?
2. Evidence of knowledge of English and of life in the UK or of exemption from knowledge of English and life in the UK -test certificate?
3.Evidence of lawful residence during qualifying period - last 5 year visa?
4. Evidence that you are free from immigration time restrictions - ILR on passport?
So only passport assuming you passed life in the UK test during settlement?
Many thanks,
S

How could you receive your approval letter a day after the decision was made by UKBA ? Could you have a re-check on that.

So you mean to say that you enclosed self-addressed special delivery envelope along with the application for the UKBA to send back the approval letter, passports and other original documents.manutd666 wrote: I didn't use the NCS service and I have enclosed a special next day delivery envelope with the application form
I have enclosed such envelope and as per UKBA website:nax_72 wrote:So you mean to say that you enclosed self-addressed special delivery envelope along with the application for the UKBA to send back the approval letter, passports and other original documents.manutd666 wrote: I didn't use the NCS service and I have enclosed a special next day delivery envelope with the application form
I expect to get my original docs returned in it - they do not say about decision letter though. So my guess is, if it happens that the decision has already been made at the time of sending back originals, then they could pop the letter in, why not?If you require your documents to be signed for on delivery you should enclose a pre-paid self-addressed royal mail special delivery (or recorded signed for delivery) envelope

Just to let everyone know that i attended the passport interview on 27th of Nov 2010 - Same questions asked as in forumnoodles wrote:HI Guys,
Guess i should share my story here as i've received tons of PMs regarding my success story telling me to post my timelines but i'm just really bad with dates so here we go.
Dec 2003 - Became EEA family member
Jan 2004 - Received 5 yr RC
Sometime in 2008 seperated from partner (as she started thinking she was a supreme being by me being a dependant, so i told her where to stick it
Jan 2009 - applied EEA4 under my own rights
Jan 2010 - EEA4 VOIDED (not refused) due to invalid passport i.e my old passport had expired before i submitted it for EEA4 (silly thing, but actually bought me time to get to the BC zone)
April 2010 - Reapplied EEA4
July 2010 - COA
Last week in Sept 2010 - Applied for Naturalisation based on 5yrs EEA + 1 Yr PR route (note:PR was attained automatically in Dec 2008)
Oct 2010 - Account got debited by £735 and received COA 2nd week in Oct.
Oct 2010 - Called HO to check status of EEA application bcos of mortgage application and the official said not to worry as a decision has been made on my BC application and the outcome should be fine for the banks but my EEA application had been assigned to a case worker (typical)
http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... e+mortgage
Oct 21st 2010 - Got a call from solicitor that my BC was approved , called the council 2 mins later and booked private ceremony the next day (before they changed their minds )
Oct 22nd 2010 - Became a British Citizen and swore allegiance to Charlie's Mum
Congratulation!! did you get the new version of the passport or the old one?noodles wrote:Just to let everyone know that i attended the passport interview on 27th of Nov 2010 - Same questions asked as in forumnoodles wrote:HI Guys,

British passport arrived in post 30th of Nov dated 27th of Nov 2010.
I wish everyone waiting the best of luck and God's guidance and divine intervention in securing their passports. Been a long and tedious journey and makes you appreciate every moment of it.
