I did it a few months back took literally, 3 weeks, and I had a new passport back. You will just then uploaded a change of address/passport details to the immigration. Great! thank you for the response. What happens if i receive a citizenship test appointment in that 3 week turnaround time? I will have no passport to take to the meeting/test. Its a small chance of happening but worth planning for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read in other forums that you can attend your test appointment with an expired passport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do not understand why some people get approval within 24 hours and some take months! I suspect a processing issue somewhere.

Epistat99 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 @Mavi I am not available on the original test date so I went online and have it changed. The dates available before 8 June were 30 April and 7 June (i am not available on this date as well), so i chose 30 April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TO be fair, you will have sufficient proof, ie Birth certificate, Driving licence, bank card, rent agreement/Mortgage agreement, medicare card etc. ... I wouldn't worry too much, Citizenship is not dependant on you having a valid UK passport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is quick. Our test date is in end May. I did not bother to change it as we still have not reviewed the booklet yet. Looks like they are now doing Oct/Nov applicants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epistat99 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 @Zet01 I only reviewed the testable part of the booklet (3 chapters). Its not that long. I think you will be able to finish it in 2 hours max. Then you can take the sample test online. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure your test invite will come out soon as I am seeing a lot of October and even November applicants getting the invite.
