New citizenship form UKF

Maybe. Just try. If they asked you about it tell them the reason.

@bhebijean_04

Thank you kapatid , uhmmm follow up question, how do you receive the notification that the papers are being processed? do they like send you an email explaining the status of the application? TIA

No hehe i just received a phone call from British Embassy for my citizenship ceremony. I sent my application july2016 then got a phone call 3rd week of November. 4months of waiting

@bhebijean_04

How about the part that they debited the ceremony fee, the invitation for biometrics?

Haha sorry I forgot about the biometrics. Yes they sent me a letter then I go straight to vfs global UK in makati. You dont need an appointment just bring the letter they sent you. About the ceremony fee i didnt receive any receipt from them. I saw on my credit card billing statement that they taken it after a week or two.

No worries kapatid haha

right after you sent your application to HO, how long did it took for you to receive the invitation letter?

No no sorry again. I checked my email i booked an appointment for my biometrics. They sent me a letter after a month that i sent my application to them.

its alright.
uhmmm so the letter informed you what exactly and if you dont mind, have applied already for a passport. Can you, if its not to much to ask, provide an updade with that sis TIA

A rem8ndwr to members that the language on the forum is English only.

Sorry , will never do it again.

We apologize admin.

Hi all, I am currently applying for UK citizenship using the UKF form, and I am a bit unsure about the fees. Could I get the total needed to pay and also a breakdown if possible.

Cheers thanks.

@Inzhagi03

You should be able to download the ukf guide, there enlist the breakdown and additional information you need regarding how atart the form etc.

The ceremony fee is 80 pounds.

Regards

@bhebijean_04

No update.

@bhebijean_04

can you please email me at email address removed by moderator
I am online now sis

@pinoy_possum.

Thanks for the advice. Just to confirm, the 1163 registration fee does not apply to this form?

Can anyone confirm if the only fee to pay for UKF is the £80 for the ceremony?

Yes my partner only paid the £80 for the ceremony fee!

@elemaac

Do you have an idea of your partner's timeline? we would appreciate if you can share it with us and also where is she/he at the process right now .

@pinoy_possum
Hey!
Yes, the dates in this time line are give or take but I took pictures along the journey which are timestamped, so it isn't too inaccurate:
Sent away form: 18th October 2016
Confirmation email from HO: 1st November 2016
Ceremony fee taken: 4th November 2016
Letter of acceptance: 15th January 2017
Citizenship ceremony: 5th February 2017

Please remember that the citizenship acceptance doesn't immediately come with a national insurance number or a passport. You have to do them separately which takes some more time.
My partner came to the UK and then completed his form but from the sounds of it, this doesn't make it go any quicker or slower than if you apply from your home country. PLEASE don't do what my partner did and just assume it will take no time at all as we were waiting so anxiously for ages! Also the home office do not have a phone number and don't take well to trying to email them all the time. If you are keen for an update you can go through your local MP but they do not have power over the home office - they just manage to get into contact with them in ways which i never could...
good luck you guys, it'll all fall into place for you!

Hi everyone.
I'm applying for British citizenship for my nephew whose mum is Fillipino and dad is British (but were never married).
I have a couple of questions about the UKF form:
He hasn't lived in UK so doesn't have a National Insurance Number - is that ok?
For section 2 (Good Character) he is a student and has never worked or paid tax in the - UK.
What do I write in 2.2-2.5?
I understand I need to send by nephews passport and birth certificate (which has he's dad's name on) and his dad's birth certificate. Do I also need to send his dads passport?
Many thanks
