Daughter applies in her own right. Being an ILR dependent is irrelevant. She needs to satisfy all adult requirements, including the five year residency. Unless she is the spouse of the British citizen. Also note there is no dependent concept in citizenship. There’s nothing special about your case. ...
OK, missed this, but can't see a specific link for that, and the link to guidance only shows visa type applications. So maybe the option has not been fully rolled out (or configured) yet. Also, I would expect that option would only be offered subject to availability (staff). Others here may have ...
Hi, I need some advice on the Naturalisation form. There's a question that asks when did you first arrive in the UK. So I essentially arrived in the UK in September 2017 but was on the Tier-4 Student visa from 2017 to 2020. I switched to Skilled worker visa in August 2020. For the purpose of this ...
Congratulations, wishing you a smooth journey through the ceremony and passport application. One has to wonder, applicants through the visa routes have to go through all sorts of hoops (and huge expense), and government working on making it even more complex (and hostile) and if applicants still go ...
Your passport will have been scanned by UK Border Force (Home Office). Just list your absences as best as you can. UKVI have access to the database and validate what you submit. So no stamps in passport is not an issue and you don't have to explain, or provide alternative documents. UK ILR holders ...
You must attend the ceremony within 3 months of the date of your approval advice.
See > https://www.gov.uk/citizenship-ceremonies
You can try and book a private ceremony if that service is offered - an additional fee will be charged by the council.
Hi everyone, I would appreciate some advice regarding my husband's immigration status suitable for naturalisation application. My husband has completed 5 years in the UK as a Skilled Worker dependant and is now eligible to apply for ILR. I currently hold ILR and have already applied for ...
One of the referees for a child should be "a professional involved with the child". Many applicants experience reluctance from such professional to share their details. UKVI are aware of this issue and will accept a referee acting for an adult applicant. If you have any details of refusals to act as ...
Passports are scanned by Border Force and data tranmitted to UKVI, so they can validate the absences.
No issue - passport stamps are defunct now anyway. No need for further explanation/documents.
I am planning to submit my British naturalisation application next week. However, I expect to move to a new house in approximately two months. Could you please advise whether changing my address after submitting the application would have any impact on the processing of my citizenship application ...
You can't provide something which you don't have - many authorities don't return old, expired passports, destroyed presumably. Just provide the current passport together with a note explaining. If you should have a copy of the old passport provide that as well. This happens regularly and HMPO are ...
These applications have a set of rules which need to be followed.
It's not about what looks better.
Quote from the referee form:
"For an adult application, one referee should be a person of any nationality who has professional standing..."
I don't believe that it would be an option as this is the only professional who worked with my daughter. Gp refused and ahe has not been to a nursery yet as she is only 2yo. In this case you can select a person who is suitable to act as referee for adults, as long as they know the child. This is a ...
The term "simple caution" is not mentioned in the Good Character guidance. Link > https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/69f9d239097169e6a7a76fd0/Nationality_policy_-_good_character.pdf If you are worried about it disclose, it probably won't have any impact, if minor and no further action ...
Best you explain the situation in a covering note, giving the details above, load with your other documents.
It's not an issue as (self)employment is not a pre-requisite for naturalisation.
There's nothing specified in term of referees' signing dates.
Forms can be signed before or after application date.
Recommend you have them signed as near as possible to the application date, either side.
28 days as such relates to visa immigration applications - naturalisation is not immigration.
Sorry to hear about your cousin's marital issues. Your questions go beyond what is covered by these immigration boards although immigration aspects of divorce can be raised. I would suggest as start point this government website: https://www.gov.uk/divorce - There are plenty of websites around which ...
There's no official indication that the survey email is sent after the application has approved.
It's not actually mentioned in any of the guidance as far as I know.
We also don't have insight into UKVI's processes.
