6. You are allowed to travel after submitting application. Ensure biometrics done before travel.
Note naturalisation is not an immigration application. Fees £1735 pp (includes ceremony fee) plus tests if applicable etc.
Processing up to 6 months, often less sometimes longer. There are no express services for this.
5. At least one needs to be a professional.
4. No
3. If you have provided UK Life and English for ILR then you can rely on those. Level B1.
2. Only passports covering the residency period of 5 years.
1. You will pay when you are submitting your application online. Link: https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... onality-an
