Hi everyone, I am new here and it is great to connect with so many fil-brit families here!

I am wondering if anyone is familiar with Certificate of Entitlment Right of Abode?

We are thinking of applying this for our daughter since her British passport might take a few more months. We submitted documents on Nov 2014, but from what i read on other people’s experience in the forum it could take 9 months before we get the passport. We just cant wait any more, we have been away from my husband for almost 2 years now.

We contacted the British embassy consul for an emergency travel document but they can only issue it if there is a medical urgency for travel, they adviced instead to apply for Certificate of Entitlment Right of Abode on her Philippine passport.

I am wondering if anyone has gone through this? If yes, could you please give us ideas on processing times?
Thank you
