[imran01]

Hi.
my little one back home passport is expired from last 15 month and I didn't renew it. Do I need to renew it before I apply for family citizenship. Any effect on his application or other family member application if I don't renew . Plz comment

I know in both cases if I renew or not. I have to write explanation letter for time delay gap between. My question is is their any chance to get delay processing or rq
