Hi, thanks for sharing this informational video jzk Can I write the returns address when i send my documents to H/O ?

[@Westernlights]

Hello, you can if you want.

[@sheenreez]

Hi there, what questions they ask from the person who confirm your identity? Moreover, if that person is professional but currently not working can be your identity checker?

[@Westernlights]

They ask the person to verify your name,date of birth,photo,address,your relation with that person and for how long you know the person. The person needs to provide his/her British passport no. and other professional details. If Passport Officer refuse the person,they will tell you to provide another person’s details who can verify your identity.They will give you chance to choose someone else.

[@sheenreez]

@@Westernlights Thank you

[@williamboahene1826]

Please, if you have passed the life in the UK test and also B1, English proficiency, then contact am Immigration Solicitor/ Adviser

[@williamboahene1826]

I sent the documents via Next Day Guaranteed recorded delivery with tracking number. I tracked the next day morning and it was confirmed received. However, they posted three days after that documents have been received

[@Westernlights]

Yes, it’s always wise to use a postal service with a tracking option for your peace of mind.

[@ayamorena934]

Hello thank you for your video. I submitted my online application and posted the document by special delivery last Wednesday 16/05 and I did not received any email from HM that my documents received. 9 days ago.

[@Westernlights]

Hi, check the tracking number on your postal receipt. If it shows delivered then you don’t need to worry. They might take time to send you email.

[@ayamorena934]

Hi .yes I checked my track number. It shows delivered. Can I call them to make sure.?thank you very much for your reply.

[@ayamorena934]

Finally I received email that my documents received. Thank you so much.

[@Westernlights]

Why do you need to supply extra information if you have links to the Philippines/ born in the Philippines?

[@Westernlights]

Hi, I have no idea about it 😞

[@calebweston2656]

do you have to send your parents stuff aswrll ?

[@Westernlights]

When you complete applying online, they’ll tell you what documents to send them. I recently renewed my child’s passport and they didn’t ask to send parents’ passports. They might ask for a birth certificate.

[@sagar_maher_12]

So what about life in the uk test?

[@Westernlights]

Hi, you need to pass the life in the UK test before you can apply for your Indefinite Leave to Remain in UK. When you apply for British Citizenship you will need the pass report again. And it is not required during UK passport application.

[@saifurrahmanyasin3767]

Hi I have pass life in the uk and b1 test and now what i need to do or how can i get naturalisation certificate please let me know 😊

[@Westernlights]

Hi, you should apply for ‘Indefinite Leave to Remain’ if you have already completed 10 years/ 5 years in the UK. After receiving your Indefinite Leave to Remain you should wait for 1 year and then apply for Naturalisation Certificate.

[@user-oy1wh9rc5i]

What happens if I haven’t a digital photo code? Is it possible to upload direct photo without code?

[@Westernlights]

Yes,you can.

Hi I am a spouse of EEA and my spouse also has the British nationality. What do I need to apply for British passport. Please

[@Westernlights]

Hello, once you start filling up the online form it asks about your current nationality and passport. Depending on your answer it guides you what documents you need. Alternatively ,it’s better you ask any solicitor about it. Application procedure and fees might be different for spouse of EEA national and spouse of British Citizen.

[@cirillocardoso5162]

After how many days did you received it?

[@Westernlights]

Hello, thanks for watching the video. It took 7 days, HM passport office received my documents on 1st December and they approved my passport application on 7th December. I received my passport by post within 2 days from their approval.

[@bl4261]

Hello, I received an email from passport office they didn’t accept my referral person I don’t know why? And is the same person that I used in British citizenship application. My question now is What I have to do now? Shall I I call them to ask or to ask another person is my British neighbour but she is not working

[@Westernlights]

I think it would be wise to ask another person who does a professional job

[@bl4261]

@@Westernlightsthis person that I asked is the same one who I did in Britishcitizen application and in my children passport. I don’t know why didn’t accept it now 🤔. and she has professional job. Another person who is my neighbour is not working.

What do I put in the form if my parents are passed away

[@Westernlights]

Hi, you might just mention they don’t have British passport

[@lukelambert05]

how do i do it if my passport expired over 10 years ago

[@Westernlights]

Hello, as far as I know you might need to make a new application rather than renewing as your passport is expired over 10 years and provide a proof that you are a British Citizen. When you start filling up your application form online it guides you what to do next depending on your answer.

[@lukelambert05]

@@Westernlights so does that mean when i come to the question of have you had a uk passport before should i click no because it doesnt give an option of saying it expired?

[@Westernlights]

I think clicking yes will give you further option @@lukelambert05

Hii jm 16 years old, i applied for a british passport and will have an interview this Saturday. Do you know what kind of questions they ask?

[@Westernlights]

Hello dear,they basically check if you are the genuine person who made the application.Your answers should match the information you already provided such as your name, birth date,current address,old addresses,profession or details of your parents.You should also know the details of your referral person.If you were not born here,they might ask about your entry date,citizenship ceremony details.Good luck for the interview.

[@mrdripz1095]

@@Westernlights I saw they ask about your countersginature, is that the person who verified the details during my passport application?

[@Westernlights]

Yes👍

[@mrdripz1095]

@Westernlights does it have to be an actual signature because my parents applied online and the person that confirmed my details etc also done it online

[@Westernlights]

@mrdripz1095 For online application,the referral person confirms your identity online without signing and it’s completely fine.

Horrific times on this so called app.
