Hello,

I am filling the online form for my British Citizenship application. I would request guidance on the below questions.

1) Have you made any previous UK immigration application in the UK or abroad. I have an ILR for the past 2 years. Prior to that I was on student visa and dependent visa.
I am seeking guidance on whether any of the above would count as an immigration application?
They are all immigration applications - list them all.
2) Can I travel outside the UK while application is in process?
Yes after the biometrics - it's not an immigration application and doesn't have a travel restriction.
3) Normally how much time does it take for a decision these days.
UKVI only give a target of six months, however, many applications take less than this, some longer. Priority options are not available for this. Passport application is separate once you have attended the ceremony.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you Alterhase58.

Once I select Yes, it asks for the following information

1) Name under which the application was made
2) The reference number
3) Date of the application.

There is only one box each to enter the name, reference number and the date of application.

That means that I can only add details of one immigration application (there is no add more option).

I am planning to add details of my ILR application for the above 3 questions.

1) Would that be correct?
2) The reference number, I assume is the UAN number. Is that understanding correct?
3) if the date is approximate, is that acceptable?

Thanks in advance.
