Evience of lawful residence and other BC documents
Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2014 1:02 am
I am applying for naturalisation as a BC in the next 2 days. I just have a quick query as I am collecting all the documents to send by post.
Query:
In section 2.1 I have the date as 14/10/2005 since it is when I came to UK with the intention of settling (came on a work permit initially). I got my ILR on 21/10/2010 (based on 5 years continuous employment/stay). Since I am applying now, my 5 year qualifying period is counted approximately from 10/03/2009.
Now my current passport which has the ILR stamp and all other VISA renewal stamps is valid from 2006 - 2016, but my original VISA stamp of work permit is in my old cancelled passport (the date I mentioned in section 2.1)
Do I also need to send my cancelled passport along with the application or not ?
So far my list of documents attached are:
* Current Passport with ILR stamp and valid from aug-2006 -- aug-2016
* LIUK test original certificate
* UK Masters Degree (evidence of knowledge of English language)
* Payment page with fee of £874
* I was present in the UK all throughout March-2009
* I have 21 days in last 90 days and 196 days in last 5 years as absences
I hope other documents like payslips, P60, bills etc are not needed for the BC application and above should suffice. Just a bit doubtful about sending cancelled passport though (in case needed).
Any help and assurance will be deeply appreciated. Just want to be sure before posting
Kind Regards
Siddharth
