All I'm worried about is that if they hold her passport during processing beyond the passport expiry date will she be still legal or not? Or should we just sit it out and wait?
simple solution. She should apply through the Nationality Checking Service (NCS). Her passport will be returned to her straight away after being photocopied. for more info click this link
