Advice on filling form AN for naturalisation

[quote="Haider"]Hi guys, just about to do the AN form. regarding payment, do we have to pay the ceremony fee(£80) + AN naturalisation fee(£906) all at the same time? regarding Tax ref. no. from my latest p60, i could only see an 'employer PAYE ref no', is that no. needs to put in the form? regarding language requirement, I have a LiUK test and NARIC cert which assessed my MSc as 'British Bachelor (ordinary) degree standard', will these two enough? Thanks.[/quote]


In the £906 the ceremony is included so no need to pay extra £80.

As I have left that area blank and no one called me or asked more info about it and got my approval last month

Ypu do need to send your LIUK paper. Your degree should be fine but I let the gurus to confirm it

Good luck

Hey there;

I'm applying tomorrow and I just realised that I had an exception for 3 years on my NI, so I didn't pay (from my pocket) employers did pay, 1 or 2 years.
My economical situation changed so I recently cancelled that but they will bill me in April

Can that play against my application?

Sorry, the closer the date the more paranoid I get.


Thanks a lot for your help, you have been amazing.

Hello. I was wondering if there is a way of applying for naturalisation directly to the HO but sending them copies of my passport and ILR? I know NCS and solicitors can do this for me. Is there any other way? I would really like to avoid paying their fees.

No way, photocopied documents must be stamped by NCS to prove the authenticity

Notarised copies are accepted but that will cost you more than NCS.
Your cheapest option is NCS.

Thank you tomgodcat and akhurshid for the prompt replies. Appreciated. I have another question re. Date and place of first arrival in the United Kingdom. I received the ILR based on 10-year residency. I recently married a British citizen and will be applying for naturalisation based on my marriage and 3 years. What do I put as date of the first arrival? Date when I entered 10 years ago? Or any date when I returned back to the UK 3 years ago?

It will be the date of your first arrival in the UK regardless of what visa it was on.

Hi, exactly the same status with you
According to the gurus
PR is equivalent to ILR
So use your PR status when it's says ILR
Good luck!!!

And Still, do not take print outs of your Tax return! I did that and now I'm shaking waiting to receive the document from the HMRC to forward to the Home Office ASAP.

Does anyones know how to send a document to support your application once you already applied?

Your full name
Date of birth
Nationality
Date of your application with your recorded delivery tracking number is all you need to send additional document to HO
Good luck!!

My God! Thanks a lot!! they haven't taken the money yet so I guess I still have a chance. Also I gave them my UTR number.
Fingers Crossed

Thank you Thank you!!

Thank you, akhurshid . Must I give them my mobile number and email address? I would really prefer to be contact by post only. Also, address of the tax tax office or tax office reference. Is it related to my current employer? or to me as an individual?

I am not sure if your question is meant towards HO or NCS but HO normally contacts you by post.
If you are employed, check your payslip and it'll have a employee reference number and that is what you need to put on the form.

Thank you, akhurshid . Can one get away with not putting the tax office reference? Also, re. Evidence of knowledge of language. Page 13 of the Guide AN "your original degree certificate and..... a print out from the points-based calculator, with the equivalent level of your degree and the level of English". I have a Bachelor degree from a UK uni. Do I need to provide this point-based calculator print out?

Hello akhushid, can you please help the gentleman here please?

Thank you, akhurshid . I entered the UK 10 years ago. I am now applying for naturalisation as a spouse of a UK citizen. Do I need to show the proof that I entered the UK 10 years ago (my old passport is unavailable). My current passport covers the last 3 years.

Just one last question, shall I let them know that I'm waiting for that HMRC letter so I can forward it to them? Or I just forward it when I have it (will be this sat I'm almost certain)
I just received the email from the HO letting me know that they have received my application.


Thanks very much!

Hi Everyone

I am going to apply for Naturalisation soon on the basis of 10 years long residence + 1 year on ILR
When I got my ILR I was on Family Member of EU.

So my question is that in the FORM AN there is a part of EEA nationals exercising EC Treaty Rights.

So do I need to tick the box for FAMILY MEMBER OF EU and give my details for last 6 years on which
basis I was or do I need to ignore this part in the FORM AN.

Anyone please who can help me with it.

THANKS.

If you applied on 10 years basis then you no need to show whether you were exercising treaty rights or not! all you have to do, just fill up your wife's details in partner's section and you done. Other seniors will shed light on this but in your case my understanding is, you no need to show your treaty rights for naturalisation as you got your ILR on long residency basis.
Hope it helps

Hi all

I have a few questions and would be grateful if anyone could respond. I am planning to go through NCS

1. How do I pay? It might sound dumb but I don't see a section to fill out my card details on the form?

2. (1.1) Home office reference number- Is this my ILR biometric number or something else? I am applying through the Tier-1 general route. Any scenario wherein I leave this blank?

3. (1.17) Residence History- Is this 5 years working backwards from the day of my intended application?

4. (2.1) Date of arrival: I arrived in 2006 as a student. Do I put that date or the date I received my Tier 1?

5. (2.2) Absences for the last 5 years: Is this working backwards from the date of intended application? (same as ILR application?)


Thank you.

1:Google AN Application payment slip ,print it out and fill out your card details or you can pay with a cheque
2:home office reference number should be on any home office letter sent to you
3:yes
4:date you first entered Uk and airport not date you were granted your entry visa
5:yes
