British citizen by descent, applying for passport questions

Hi all,

I have been trying to reach out to the British passport office, by calling, emailing, webchatting, but they never reply. Since I have seen many people ask similar things here, I just want to confirm a few things because some of you have gone through the same process

First a few things about me:

-My father was born in Scotland in 1960, and he moved to Canada in 1963. Both his parents are Scottish, British citizen.

-My father doesn’t have a UK passport at the moment.

-I was born in Canada in 1997, and my parents were married at the time.

What I have read:

I read on the British Government website, according to the British Nationality Act 1981, I am a British citizen by descent through my father. I’m planning on applying for a British passport, from what I read, the documents needed are following:

-My current Canadian passport

-My father’s birth certificate

-My birth certificate

-My parents’ marriage license

I’m wondering if this is correct and sufficient? Once I have all documents ready, do I just directly apply for the passport in the overseas section? What would the process be like?

In addition, I’m currently living in the US (not a US citizen), do I have to apply from Canada or I can just apply from the US?

Any advice would be helpful, thank you!

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
