Has anyone here renewed their US passport while awaiting a UK citizenship application? If so, what are the implications? Do I simply need to update UKVI with the new details once received, or will this cause greater complication for the decision-making on my citizenship and my UK passport application if I'm approved?
For context, I've got 11 months left on my US passport. I'm also 18+ weeks into the wait for a decision on my UK citizenship application (when most decisions seem to be coming in 6ish weeks for people).
I am increasingly nervous about the difficulty in renewing my U.S. passport when the time comes given the environment there. And I am increasingly concerned I will be one of those people whose UK citizenship application takes a year or more (it's not for nothing, I have a DUI on my record, which I fully disclosed on the app and on every visa app before it!!).
I don't want to wait so long for the UK that my U.S. passport lapses or I don't have enough validity on it to travel. Perhaps I wait a few months in hopes a decision comes then take action whether it does or doesn't. I don't know.
Any experience or knowledge of this situation, let me know.
