That is good going!

Perhaps a MODERATOR can turn this into a 2013 PP timeline thread?

Default Re: Uk passport renewal times in the USA

I sent in my application for my first British passport to receive dual citizenship, by descent from my father. I was born and raised in the US and have a US passport which i sent in along with my application, here is the time line so far

Application type: First time, adult, citizenship by descent
Sent: Jan 22, 2013
Received: Jan 25, 2013(by British Embassy in Washington D.C.
Payment charged: Feb 2, 2013
Original document returned: Still Waiting
New Passport received: Still Waiting


I hope this is the correct thread to be posting it in, I have been following the timeline thread on this website as well as another one on immigration boards(dot)com

Cant seem to find many current posts about others sending in first time passport applications for receiving british citizenship for dual citizenship.

Will update when i receive my documents and new passport, hopeful soon!!

Thanks
Nick

Will be doing this soon for my daughter's passport. She is almost 5 and her "baby passport" is about to expire.

Just to double check... My understanding is that it's ok to use US size photos but you don't try to crop them to UK size, they do that.

Also, what if we don't renew her UK passport, can she travel to Europe (Sweden, UK, Germany) on her US one? Has anyone with dual citizenships done this? I know we couldn't do the opposite as if you are a US citizen you must use a US passport to enter the USA.

To the first bit, yup.

To the second bit, yup. As long as the passport you use is fit for purpose you're all set, so for a holiday where you wouldn't need a visa using a US passport, you're set. You only really need a UK passport if you were to settle in the UK or were to work or stay long than 6 months etc.

I had a nerve wracking experience with this two years ago. It took 8 weeks and was delivered on the day of my flight after my begging the wonderful British Consul official Dean to intervene. Bless him he did...wonder why doesn't post anymore?

Thank you Bob, very helpful! So, we probably won't renew her UK passport. That doesn't mean she's not a UK citizen anymore. Obviously. And she can still get one later on if needed.

Good luck to the rest of you...

I saw somewhere that Dean is still around but he is busy so doesn't have much time for this anymore. That might have been old though, not sure.

Apologies for being 'that guy' but you mean February, don't you?
This is a helpful thread though as I'm sending my renewal application next week!

Out of curiosity did they debit both the renewal fee and the delivery fee at the same time or just the $211?
