Should I change the address after application (JCAP)?
Posted: Mon Jun 20, 2016 12:42 pm
Dear members,
I applied for naturalization (JCAP) on 29 March. I still haven't received the decision. I will be moving house 01 Jul, so can someone please advise,
1) whether i should advise UKVI of my change in address or should i wait until I move?
I am hesitant to advise them as incase i get the approval & the mail goes to the new address (before the move) it may get lost. On the other hand, If i don't advise them and the mail is already on its way & i may have already moved, it might get lost again.
Reason I am asking is, i have seen in the timelines that some people had to wait 10-12 days before they received their naturalization letter (from the date of issue).
2) Similarly for passports, at what stage should i advise the passport office/council of my move, now or after the move?
Or do i need to advise them at all (incase they pick up those changes via UKVI systems)
I am more worried since 3 months appears to be the average time of decisions for T1 (G) based applications, which I will complete end of this month.
I am confused hoping someone could help
Thanks!
