Yes, that happened with me too.. and I insisted that cancelled passports are not required as it's clearly mentioned in guide (I showed them guide that comes with form), then they said that biometric card is required, I again insisted No, as that card is for ILR holders & citizen are not ILR holders, also, no where in the form it is mentioned about sending Biometric card.neda wrote:
I sent my application today. but the guy in Check & Send service make me confuse.
I have two passport (1 expired two years a got (cut off) and the other one current and valid one), so I used the valid one as supporting documents and wrote details in the form but he was saying I have to send the old one (expired one) as well, because the first time I came in the UK with it, I explained to him that got my ILR visa on new passport,. He asked for my biometric card as well and was saying need to sand biometric as well!!!!.. I didn't have my old passport and biometric with me so I sent my application form+ 2 photograph + valid passport, nationalisation certificate.

Don't worry..that's fine..I rang hmpo helpline nd was advised...send any uncancell passport...Nat certificate for duly filled and 2 photos....
Even d guys at post office many a times don't know the requirements
So don't worry....
Absolutely right!! No need to send... to support this argument, you are a citizen.. and citizen don't have ILR.. Nowhere in the guide it's mentioned... you can call Adviceline & ask them same...neda wrote: thank you. so in this case there is no need to send biometric, am I right?

Later in the evening I called HMPO & they confirmed my understanding was correct.
I guess PO C&S people are worse than NCS staff about knowledge of process/documentation... Although I used C&S service, felt that I shouldn't have used it... it was waste of money..

You are absolutely right... I didn't send my old passport & biometric card..neda wrote: so u didn't send ur biometric card and cancelled passport, am I right? the guy in the post office was saying they will contacted u and ask for cancelled and biometric card!! so annoyed.
I just called them, the lady on the phone was saying no need for cancelled passport and biometric. she just said in some special circumstances they need ILR, but in -our case that we have citizenship they no need it.p2kin wrote:You are absolutely right...

The guy said to me that HMPO might ask for it by sending you letter.. & I said to guy that, if that happens, I'm fine with it... I'm ready to take that risk... but in the evening when I called Adviceline, they confirmed that they don't need biometric card.. neither do old (cancelled) passport.
I suggest, you too call Adviceline & ask them same question.. & please post what reply you get.. we'll have another confirmation..
