Re: Delays in first passport for child born overseas

I actually wasn't as thrilled as I thought I would be. 14 months of waiting has sucked a bit of my optimism.

It ruined a lot of my plans and I had lost a lot of money because of it....

I contacted other MPs too, and they all said that they'll be following up with HMPO if ever I still don't get it.

Also prior to that email, I have also received this from HMPO Bangkok who did the...

If that is so, then finally, finally, I'll get a decision.

But you submitted from HK, a regional consulate/embassy, that's a given that it will be faster.

Or does the HMPO directly contact the individual offices like NSO/ONS (National Statistics Offices for birth...

Apparently, the UK has tightened up...

Re: British By Descent Experience
