I just phoned the passport helpline and they said I can send a photocopy of my foreign passport instead of the original one and they also asked me to send a cover letter explaining the reason. So surely it must be fine if they said so ?
Hi there I have to travel abroad urgently so when I apply for a British passport I cannot send in my original foreign passport. If so can I make an application by just scanning the pages of my foreign passport ? Can I photocopy my passport myself at home or do I have to get a certified copy ...
Hi all I’ve recently become British but I’m going to a backpacking trip abroad for 6 months next week so I won’t be able to wait for my British passport to come back so I have a couple of questions - can I apply for a British passport without sending my original foreign passport? So that I can still ...
It looks likely that I’ll have to use the UKVI app to submit my photo as I just submitted the application and they sent me I have to wait for the confirmation to use the app… I gave my biometrics back in Jan 2022 so I’m assuming I can do all the steps now online. do I have to be physically in the UK ...
Thank you and also once again one more question
I passed my Life in the UK test in December 2021 and I used the reference number to apply for ILR in Jan 2022
I've used the same Life in the UK test number now for naturalisation application. That's fine right? (I know I'm overthinking this )
I was abroad between 3rd of July to 14th of July 2019 (came back on 14th of July 2019) so applying today is fine right? I didn't have any other holiday until end of August 2019
Thank you
And for the trips outside the uk in the past 3 years should I list all my 2019 trips from Jan - July 2019 or should I just start from July 2019?

thanks a lot, should I still mention all of the visa applications I made since 2008? or is it ok if I mention since 2016?
Also I've had part time jobs and different full time jobs since 2008 - should I provide the employer details for all of them or since 2016?
Thank you for your responses I just have a couple of questions As I mentioned before I got my ILR from being employed (Skilled worker) however I stopped working at my employer in April 2022 and I'm currently unemployed. Would that be a problem for the application (even though I'm applying as a ...
Hi all I’m currently a holder of an ILR after being on Tier 2 General for 5 years. My partner has currently had his naturalisation ceremony and applied for the British passport.

ah thanks for mentioning about the CSI but that wasn't an issue when we got his EUSS? he just had 3 months out of job but in that time he just used his savings... why would it be an issue?
he was unemployed in the UK for a brief time between January 2017 an April 2017. We have a letter from HMRC from March 2017 but nothing from January 2017... would that be an issue? in that case should be provide the September 2016 payslip?
also he has had 2 different National Insurance Numbers because his name was incorrect. He has had a new NI number since April 2017. When he had to apply for EUSS his current NI number would show that he's only been in the UK since April 2017 so he had to prove his presence in the UK for between 2015 ...
thank you, just to clarify on the documents required to prove his presence in the uk He applied for EUSS October 2020 based on 5 years in the UK, now applying for citizenship January 2022 so do the documents have to show he’s been in the UK since January 2017 or October 2015? We have the following d ...
sorry one more question absences from the uk is only for whole days spent outside the uk right? not the full days? although in the application we put departure and arrival dates - they don't count towards the 90 day in the last 12 months allowance?
thanks very much Also have 2 questions asked "Did you meet the knowledge of English requirement as part of an indefinite leave application made on or after 28 October 2013?" they don't ask about english requirement for EUSS so the answer would be no to this right? "Have you made any previous UK ...

I'm gathering documents for my Tier 2 > ILR application and I have a couple of questions Is a bank statement showing the past 3 months ok?
