1. If you apply online and by post yes. Not if you are using ukcvas.

2. No, there is no same day or next day decision service for citizenship. You have to wait the time frame which varies between a few weeks upto 6 months for a decision, regardless of which ukcvas service you choose.

3. See #2 above.

Thanks.
I will be using the ukvcas so I am guaranteed to come back home with my passport.

Thanks again

After completing my application for naturalisation online and visited UKVCAS, can I travel out of uk with my Nigerian passport and ILR BRP card pending the determination of my BC.
Thanks
