Congratulations . You may want to ask for extension time for the ceremony if you prefer not too travel so soon after the delivery. Thanks Jambo ! You have answered so many of mine and my husband's questions. Thank you very much for your help. Indeed, I am going to write to UKBA and ask for an ...

Eligibility criteria: Spouse of BC (5.5 years exercising EEA treaty rights - no PR card), 110 absences in the last 12 months Method of application: Postal Date of application: 9 October 2013 Date of receipt by UKBA: 10 October 2013 (tracked) Date of acknowledgement : 01 November 2013 Date of debit ...

Hello! I received my approval letter on 6th December (dated 03/12/13) :-)))) As I stated earlier, I applied with 110 absences in the last year also I had been abroad on maternity leave for about a month on the day my application was received by UKBA. My total number of absences for 3 years was ...

I have sent them my MAT B1 form and a letter from my employer confirming that i was on maternity leave.

My wife will get her settlement on January 2014 so she will apply for naturalization on January 2015. My question is , she is pregnant at the moment and her due date will be on July 2015. I know for fact that she can't stay outside UK for more than 90 days in last year but she wants to go to her ...

Hi, i used thelegaldeedpollservice.org.uk to change my surname. If you google deed poll you will find a lot of companies that deal with that. I believe that parents can use deed poll to change their under 16 children's surname. You just fill out a form and pay online. They sent me certificates which ...

I would go for (2). I suspect your husband approval is not far and in my view the absences in the last year discretion is the easiest to get between the ones you listed. Hi Jambo. You were right! My husband got his approval and now has to wait for the invitation letter. If they send it within 2 ...

Hello Jambo. Thanks for your advise! I would go for (2). I suspect your husband approval is not far I really hope so. A lot of people who applied after him got their approvals. We were unlucky with this whole IT problem. Perhaps the fact that he didn't have PR/ILR confirmation makes the process more ...

Hello, I posted on this forum a few weeks ago and I got some really good advice. Thank you again. Both I and my husband want to naturalize. I am an A8 citizen and have had a permanent job in the UK since 17th September 2007. However, my WRS registration is dated 29th November 2007. I confirmed here ...

Hi northernireland I don't doubt your memory but I am surprised that your WRS took so long to be issued. My husband started working around the same time as you and he got his within a couple of weeks. If you are absolutely sure that you applied within 30 days then no problem but if you are even a ...

The requirement to be present in the UK when the application is recieved has been removed a year ago. He can apply on your behalf even if not present in the UK This is great news for me! I was convinced this was not allowed. How would I indicate this on my form in absences section? Eg. I go abroad ...

Thanks again Jambo I am now thinking that if my husbands application and ceremony take more than a few weeks then I may not be able to apply myself before I go to Poland to give birth (I have to fly before 34th week of my pregnancy but the sooner the better really). If that was the case is it ...

Thank you Jambo for your invaluable comments. I think we will go separate because i also need to ask for discretion on absences in last year. If i apply in september i will have 97 days outside the uk in last 12 months. i know they automatically accept upto a 100 so shouldnt be a problem. We are ...

Thanks for your response. I don't remember for sure but the certificate issue date suggests that i was slightly late. I reckon i must have applied after 2 months of starting work. Which means if we wanted to apply together now i would have to hope for their discretion to treat me as if i was a ...

Hello again, someone suggested to me that i could ask UKBA to process my husbands application first as his is quite a straight forward case and then they could treat me as a spouse of BC and only look at my last 3 years. I searched the forum for such kind of joint applications and it looks like ...

Hello, First of all thank you to everyone who is devoting their time on this forum and helping people like me. I am quite active on tripadvisor myself :wink: I and my husband would like to apply for British citizenship. We are originally from Poland. We did not apply for ILR, PR etc. Here is our ...
