Feb 2015 citizenship applicants

[Maple_tree15]

Guyz my application is returned today and the reason is "The Passport provided does not cover the 4 year period preceding the date of your application. Please send us a photocopy of the biographical page of any other passport you have had during the relevant 4 year period"

Now the funny thing is i have sent them my old passport biographical pages photocopy but what i think got them confused is my old passport which expired in 2005 and i just renewed my passport on Nov-2014, as i was the refugee applicant i couldn't travel so i never renewed my passport. Should i just explain them that from the period of 2005 till Nov-2014 i never renewed my passport as i couldn't travel?? logically my application shouldn't be returned.

any advice??

Absolutely. You should provide them with photocopies of biographical pages of your passports, both new and old. Furthermore, include any additional relevant information to helping explain why you haven't held other passports in that window period.

I hope that helps and sorry to hear your application has been returned. I had to resubmit mine as well, but for a different reason.

Good luck!

I guess the problem was the gap and no explanation to address the gap. They don't like any gaps be it employment/ addresses or as per ur experience the passport bio for the last 4 yrs probably to the day...hmmm looks like the first AOR seems pretty crucial...

Probably u need to add an explanation and resubmit may be after rechecking for any other gaps if any...
All the best

... and CONGRATS to all the ones with AOR...

i have never thought of it and i just realized after the application returned which does make sense that i sent the bio copy of my current passport which issue on 2014 which means not covered 4 years so i sent my old passport which expired in 2005 lol so the gap is between 2005 till 2014 9 years. i guess i will send them my PR approval / Granted letter which i received some times in 2012. i don't think of any thing else other then my tax returns or bank statements.
