Dear Expert Members

• I would like to request your expert opinion and guidance in completing British Naturalisation form as I am bit unclear on MN1 form and I need your sincere advise to complete and submit it successfully.

Brief Introduction.

• Myself my wife and two kids come to UK in Dec 2009 under tier 1 and approved ILR in July 2014 however I have not applied ILR for my youngest daughter since she is born in UK hence I have saved Fee for applying ILR for her as she becomes eligible for naturalisation if the parents have the ILR .

• My younger daughter who is now 11years of age was born in UK in October 2001 , at that point we have no ILR hence my daughter cannot be a British citizen by Birth.


Need advice on following points as what to write when filling MN1 form, also it will be much appreciated if the experts can let me know that I have completed the form correctly . all mentioned below only the difficult parts.
Section 1 - Personal Information
1.1 Please indicate the section of the British Nationality Act 1981 under which you would like the

section 1 (3) --------------------Kindly let me know if this is correct ?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.2 Immigration and Nationality Directorate or Border and Immigration Agency or UK Border Agency reference number.

Can I insert here my daughters Biometric card no which was issued when tier 1 was renewed , card has now expired ?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.3 Please say if and when the child was given indefinite leave to enter/remain in the UK. If the child’s parent is an EEA national, a Swiss national or a family member of an EEA or Swiss national you should ensure that they qualify for permanent residence. Child has indefinite leave to enter/remain in the UK. Date granted

As mentioned earlier that we have not applied ILR for my youngest daughter as she is born in UK so what to write here ? Please advise

If you have a current grant of leave on a biometric residence permit (BRP), you must provide your BRP for the application to be valid and complete.

As mentioned earlier on my brief details that is I got the ILR after Tier 1 extension . My daughter received Tier 1 extension hence we have her biometric card under tier 1 which has now expired , can we insert bio metric no here?

I understand that I have requested a bit too much but your expert reply would be much much appreciated as my daughter will be travelling overseas in October where we know that there is no guarantee that naturalisation will be done by then however I will try my best that she can make it.

Thanks for your support in advance.

1.1 Yes, it is section 1(3)

1.2 You can leave blank or put the BRP number.

1.3 Leave blank as she was born in the UK and is not required to have ILR for citizenship application.

1.17 Not applicable if you are doing it by yourself. This question is if you use a solicitor or immigration advisor.

3. Not relevant to you as you are not British born etc. Leave it blank. See page 19 of the MN1 Guide (Click)

6. Yes, you can include the BRP details you have. Yes, she will have to enroll her biometrics again at the Post Office once you receive the letter from HO to do this.

6.12 Yes, put the details of her last visa application.

You should apply through NCS at your local council, that way you get to keep all your original paperwork and passports/BRPs etc. They also check the form for you.

Hi Char,

I sincerely appreciate your valued time and suggestion, I will now make an appointment with the concern as advised by your goodeslf.

Once again many thanks

Kind Regards

You are welcome and good luck.
