Citizenship application questions - please help

[CR001]

A referee can be a friend, a neighbour, colleague, etc.

Your English test will be ok as you used it for ILR.

Thanks for replying.

One last question - the date the two referees date the reference form.
Is that meant to be a date before you paid for application and submitted or is it after the application is paid and submitted?

I can't find any guidance on it

It doesn't matter!!!

There's no official answer ....

Can be dated either before or after submission.

I note UKVCAS no longer exists, it is TLS now for uploading documents?

These are the following documents I have been asked to upload on the checklist on gov uk website:
- Applicant passport copies
- B1 english certificate
- proof of living in UK for 3 years (can passport be used??)
- marriage certificate
- 2 referee declarations
- British passport for my husband who is UK citizen

Also is the expired BRP not needed as evidence? should I submit life in uk test email confirmation too as extra evidence?
What categories do I badge these under as the below are the new categories on TLS which I have never used before?!

Also is the expired BRP not needed as evidence? BRP has been abolished, not needed, they have your evisa.should I submit life in uk test email confirmation too as extra evidence? You have provided the reference number? Then not needed.

Those categories are for visa applications, meaningless for naturalisation. Just put everything under "Other" - that's sufficient. Caseworkers will look at all documents.

Can you use passport for 3 years living in UK proof?

Although you say it is for visa only are some of the categories not applicable to citizenship?

For example english test goes into educational categry and marriage certificate into life event category?

Although you say it is for visa only are some of the categories not applicable to citizenship? You are overthinking! Those categories are arbitrary for immigration purposes, TLS uses one system for all application, theses categories have no meaning for naturalisation.

For example english test goes into educational categry and marriage certificate into life event category? You are overthinking! I have been giving my same opinions for years ...
