Ah yeah, forgot about NCS, only problem is there isn't one near us, but if it means she will get her passport back for it be renewed in time for December, thats a better idea. Thanks!

Joebloggs (or anyone else recently granted citizenship) Whats the processing times like for Citizenship these days? And is NCS quicker than sending it by post?
