So, I'm in the middle of filling my citizenship application
Have you made any previous UK immigration applications in the UK or abroad?
I have included applications that I have made.
My first visit visa was applied for me by my mum at age 14.
Three further leave to remain applications were made on my behalf by mum then between 2001 and 2004 but all of them were refused.
Do i need to included these applications on this application?
I was added as a dependant on my mum's application.
I also do not know the exact dates that these applications were made on my behalf.
What do i do please.
Thanks All.

You have to add all applications irrespective of refusal or approval. Dates can be estimates also to the best of your knowledge, IF KNOWN.

God bless.
I will mostly do a cover letter to address the previous application dates that I can’t remember. Thank you.

Hi All,
I'm done with filling my naturalisation certificate.
1. Do referees still need to sign at the back of the passport photo as we are now submitting all documents online?
2. Do I have to scan the back of the photo and upload onto the portal?
Thanks

1) Yes (only if HO asks for originals which is rare)
2) No

Citizenship Referee

One of referees consults for the Home Office.
He was recruited by a consultancy firm (capita) and seconded to work for the Home Office.
Technically, he’s not employed by the Home office.
Can he still be my referee?
Thanks All.

Hi All,
What letter from the HO is postal these days?
I know approval letter will be sent via email - is this same as ceremony invitation letter?
If not, will the ceremony invitation letter be sent via email or post please?
I'm about to apply for naturalisation but i might be moving houses in about a month not sure yet.
Unfortunately, I cannot use a correspondence address as that address would have been my work address but I cant use it now due to COVID.
What should i do when/if i move?

When did you first arrive in the UK

For my ILR, I used in 2015
Here’s my background
2001 summer, I came here on a visit visa for holiday and stayed for 5 years. And I left in 2006.
Between 2001 and 2003, my dad made 3 applications on my behalf to regularise my stay but all was unsuccessful.
Then I returned in 2015 on spousal visa then proceeded to my ILR
I’ve listed all visa applications in my naturalisation application.
One question keeps bugging me.
When did you first arrive in the UK
Should I say 2015 or 2002?
I already stated 2015 in my application and submitted.
