Naturalisation After ILR (1 Year)

[dcot78]

Dear all,

I hope you'll be fine.

I've completed my 1 year after receiving ILR and now I would like to apply for british nationality.

I want to keep my original documents with me as I want to fly out of country for a month.

Should I apply through NCS ?
Do I've to provide BRP soon after submitting my application ?
Also I am going out of country to get married, so once I am married then should I inform my marital status to home office after I come back ?

Your help will be highly appreciated, Many thanks

Should I apply through NCS ?

Yes, if you wish to keep your original documents.

Do I've to provide BRP soon after submitting my application ?

Do you mean biometric enrollment or BRP Card??

Also I am going out of country to get married, so once I am married then should I inform my marital status to home office after I come back ?

Is your name going to change??

Do you mean biometric enrollment or BRP Card??

Yes biometric enrollment for finger prints etc - Do I've to provide straight way after submitting the application or can I provide when I come back from holidays (After 4 weeks).


Also I am going out of country to get married, so once I am married then should I inform my marital status to home office after I come back ?
Is your name going to change??

No my name is not going to change. Basically I am flying out of 26th of Jan and coming back after 4 weeks. During this time I am going to get marry - my name is not going to be changed but my wife name is going to be changed on her passport and ID card.

HO will write to you to submit/enroll your biometrics at the Post Office.

I would suggest you wait till you return before applying for citizenship so that you do not miss the letter.

I want to apply for citizenship because I want to apply for my wife visa as soon I am granted the citizenship so trying to minimise the time.

I hope HO will issue the bio metric letter after 14 days and then I will have some time to cover, I am quiet confused.

Biometric letters can take 3 to 4 weeks.

Citizenship is currently taking 5-8 months, sometimes longer.

You can apply for a spouse visa for your wife with your ILR. You do not have to wait till you are British.

Do you mean I can apply for citizenship and on the other hand I can also apply for my wife visa with my ILR ?

Is it okay to apply for citizenship now and then after few months even I don't receive my citizenship and I can apply for my wife visa with ILR ?
