There are no travel/work restrictions while your application is being considered. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that once your application is approved, you need to book ceremony within 2 weeks of receiving approval and attend ceremony within 90 days else you'll have to make new citizenship application.Mouna wrote:Oh thanksakhurshid wrote:You don't need to wait 12 months after getting ILR.

And can I work abroad one day after applying for BC while waiting for my application to be considered ?
Thanks
You should be free from immigration control for a at least one year before you are eligible to apply for citizen ship. So if your ILR biometric card shows a date back from November 2014 you can apply in November but it is from March 2015 you will be eligible from March. Take careMouna wrote:Hi

ur council should ve rcvd ur paper work by now or may b anytime soon. sometimes it takes time for council to rcv ur paperwork and put it on their system. Some councils r rcving deliveries from UKVI only once in 2 weeks. Ask ur council how often they rcv certificates from UKVI. wait for another couple of days then contact UKVI.storm55 wrote:I have got a question. I phoned my council several times about booking of a private citizenship ceremony. All the time they ask my details and after that they tell me you have to wait for a message. 15 days are gone since the date I have received my invitation letter. The council didn't send me anything so far. Is it ok? By law I have to book my citizenship ceremony within 21 days after receiving a citizenship invitation. I started to worry about it. What should I do if the council would not reply in a week's time?
You can do this for them but are you aware that passports applications from India take between 6 and 12 months. All passport applications worldwide are processed in the UK and not in the country of application any longer.I am travelling to India in December with the their Naturalisation Certificates and planning to apply for their passport from India.
No, if they are now British they are British. Please bear in mind the restrictions on traveling on an Indian passport now that they are British.Is this the right approach and Will there any risk of Registration Certificate getting cancelled.
Only a British Citizen can apply for a British passport and a passport application is a separate process. Once registered as British, the child is British.Or Passport is a separate process and once a person is registered he/she is the British Citizen
