Thank you, and regarding the parents details I need to enter for the first passport after obtaining the certificate- do I need to enter the details of grandparents? Not sure I have details of grandparents. I understand there is one form for all passport routes- just curious if there is anything else...

Hi there, Under the FAQ for first adult passport, it mentions you need to post your passport documents to HMPO, do you need to provide the packaging or is there a specific package you obtain from the post office? Also my wife’s applying for a passport using her maiden name as her original country pa...

Ok thanks- found an email it was 8 years ago , but will add a note as I’d like to be judged on bad character or anything!

Help please, I submitted but when going over my answers I noticed under the previous marriage I selected no, but wa a married and divorced 10 years ago. Should I add details of the divorce and marriage as a note with the evidence section detailing what I know? Not sure if I can find exact details et...

Apologies if a stupid question , but if we received email 7/12/22 would 12 months be 7/12/23? Or does one need to wait till the 8/12/23 ?

Thanks for the response. Much appreciated

Much appreciated. Another question apologies - can my wife use her married surname on the naturalisation application if it’s different to her passport surname? She’s been using her married surname since arriving in the UK for work and banking etc? I think I read that initially naturalisation applica...

Hi there- does 12 months from getting ILR mean the date of issue on the card or perhaps date you received it?

Sorry, another question. I was physically in the UK on the 8th December 2018, flew out on the 10th of December 2018, but returned 10 Jan 2019 from vacation. I want to submit my online application for citizenship on the 8th December 2023. Does that still count as being present as I left shortly after...

My family and I are applying for citizenship after a year on ILR, wife and I have lined up different referees which I believe should suite, but do the 2 children applying with us need different referees ? I.e 4 new referees, if that makes sense? So each child with their own different referees. Schoo...

Do you think a letter of some kind could be added as additional info? As we couldn’t get the father to sign anything

Hi there, We’re applying for citizenship soon and we all have ILR (wife, daughter and stepson included). My step sons bio dad doesn’t live in the UK but is named on his South African birth certificate. When applying for citizenship, will we need his bio dads signature to apply for citizenship or his...

Much appreciated - thanks for the feedback!

Hi there, wife and I have ILR, curious whether there is a visa route for parents who don’t live in the UK( a route to bring them to the UK on a permanent basis as we’re their primary care givers) ? Is there a route to “sponsor” them, and if so can you point me to the site with costs etc?

Much appreciate- quick question regarding referees for a 2 year old? The doctors won’t provide their passport details and he hasn’t started school as yet. We’ve asked a friend of the family to be a sponsor, just wondering if we still need a second person or how lenient they are with referees for kid...

Apologies if this isn’t the correct place, but some links don’t seem to be working, and I was hoping for some direction- my son Was born in the UK before we obtained ILR. Which application do we apply for his registration, as I understand he doesn’t need naturalisation(he’s 2) and any idea of the fe...

Have you had a response yet from the home office? Seems quite long

In case anyone is in a similar position, apparently landlords receive a code from HO that notifies them a set period we’re allowed to rent. The SLA says 2 days but you never know!

Ok great thanks, are you aware what the agents receive from HO? Assurances that we have right to rent and not just the status of the application?

Apologies if this is in the incorrect place ; but like most people were waiting on an ILR decision, and our current visas have expired while waiting for a decision. We are try to rent a property but the agent we spoke to said that the HO reference number will only tell him that our applications are ...

Thanks for that. My confusion was it was asking for the code for the sponsor sponsoring this application which confused me as I thought the sponsor just provided me a letter. So I can use the details from the CoS I obtained for my CURRENT skilled worker visa?

Hello, currently completing my application, and it’s for ILR using the skilled worker route (T2) and a question has come up asking for my sponsors license number on my certificate of sponsorship? But I thought you needed a letter from employer regarding employment and not an actual certificate of sp...

Much appreciated, i thought i’d previously not given the other dates but that helps, will let you all know how it goes!

Apologies it’s been a while since i’ve posted, if it’s in the incorrect place please delete- my question i was granted a tier 2 general in August 2017but in May 2019 my employment was terminated. I never received a curtailment letter. I applied and payed for another tier 2 general with another compa...
