This is such a ridiculous forgery. The Home Office sending letters from a post office, being first processed in WINDSOR (you can see the vignette on the envelope) and with a STAMP!?? All letters sent by the Home Office are franked (hell, any office with more than 10 people has a mail franking machin...

Germany has stronger jus sanguinis (citizenship by descent) laws than the UK has. The US is of course the exemplar of jus soli (citizenship by place of birth). If you have German descent as recent as three generations away, you may want to explore the German option in more detail. Remember that you...

Thanks for your help.

No, it doesn't. For that one needs be a citizen of an EEA country.

Seconded. The current discussions are completely off topic.

Hi guys,

So, what's the current status? Are GPs allowed to countersign passports, for instance?

Yes it does appear there is conflicting advise given over the phone helplines, nothing really unusual there. So I take it the advise is to complete the new form (excluding the referee page(s)) and submit with old referee page(s)? Unless you are able to get the new form completed in time. This is wh...

Unfortunately for my wife, her referees had already filled in the previous version of the form. I called the Home Office helpline, and they said that the old form is still acceptable for 21 days after an update. I wish I could find that in writing somewhere in the guidance.. Called the Home Office....

Hello everyone, Basically my mother(Brazilian from birth), who is married to a Portuguese national, managed to get me the Portuguese naturalisation. All I have at the moment is basically the document that states that I now have Portuguese nationality. Work is pressuring me to send them proof of my ...

I believe this is the code sent by email as soon as you pass the test (the code beginning with TCL). They tell you on the email to use this code on Home Office applications.

I wrote to the Home Office for clarification last year as I have a expired IELTS not previously used and that is the reply I had received directly quoted from the letter, so had to do another ESOL. The Home Office also have this documented in their Knowledge of Language and life in the UK version 1...

Thanks for the input, guys.

@Jambo,

Would you mind weighing in? Would the passport be enough even if the passport has no evidence of arrival/departure in/of the country?

You will need to provide proof for the 5 years prior to the application. Having PR doesn't prove anything as the residence requirements for PR are different than for naturalisation (for example you can obtain PR with 6 months of absence every year). Having said that, for naturalisation a passport i...

Thanks, mate.

Hi guys, Quick question. My wife and I have successfully applied for EEA3/EEA4 last year and now it's time to apply for our naturalisation. I intend to apply through our local NCS. Regarding proof of continuous residence, do we need to present proof of residence for these last 6 years or just for th...

Nice one Obie. I find the form difficult to fill in in a certain circumstance. I think Surinder Singh is for worker, self-employed or student and does not cover self-sufficient, try filling in the form as self-sufficient and coming back to UK releying on O.B. Cant fill in the SS section because it ...
