Very helpful, many thanks for your prompt response, much appreciated.

Hi, I will be using the MN1 form to register my child as a British citizen. The guidance says I need to submit his birth certificate and passport ( if he has one) among other documents. He does have a Czech passport but we travel to see the grandparents every three to four months and I am afraid the...

Thank you, I may apply soon then.

My husband sent his application 29/7/2011 and received answer back last week Friday 10/2/2012 so well over 6 months... Hopefully you wont have to wait that long.

Thanks JAJ. Yes, my son was born in the UK. He received ILR with his dad 1.5 years ago. The solicitor can not find the ILR papers or the proof of this being sent back to the HO. They said they will send a letter to HO asking for a duplicate of the certificate as they lost it. I imagine this will tak...

Hi, my son was awarded ILR 15 months ago. HO made a mistake in his date of birth so we had to send it back. The solicitor was taking care of it and claims he sent it to HO but can not find the proof of postage and HO states they never received it. Now we are stuck. Can we still apply for his citizen...

Thanks guys, we managed to get through and found out that no decision was made... 5 days later he received the positive decision. thanks

Hi, my husband has applied for his citizenship over 6 months ago. We would like to ask about the progress of the application but can not get through to anyone on the main number 0845 010 5200, once we hear all the option the call ends. Anyone has a number where we could speak to someone dirctly? man...

Hiya, my husband applied for citizenship on 04/08 and is waiting for the approval. The phone number given on the acknowledgement letter does not give him an option to speak to real person. Can you please advise on what phone number to call and ask about the status? Also, the work agency he works for...

Vinny, please?

Thank Vinny. I will need to fill in separate application for the child and pay the correct fee of £ 470 as well, right?

Any mods - can you please confirm the above? MANY THANKS

Hello all, just a quick question. I have PR (EU member)and am eligible to apply for citizenship in November 2010. My husband has got ILR and is eligible to apply for BC already. Our son ( 2 years old) was born before any of us had PR or ILR, therefore does not have BC yet. Do I need to file separate...

thanks guys. Will apply in next couple of months and will let you know the outcome. cheers

Thanks John. Was hoping you would give an advise. Is there a difference if the ILR was granted within or outside the immigration rules? His one is outside of immigration rules and that's the only thing we worry about. Don't want to put forward the naturalization application and loose the money.. man...

thanks guys. I have spoken to two different solicitors who advised that he is eligible to apply for citizenship right now. Thanks

Any more opinions please? thanks

Hiya, thanks. Yes, he applied for ILR before his DL expired.

When his application was rejected in 2003 he appealed and was granted DL in 2004.

Anyone please? I am getting a bit worried now.. it's taking ages.

Has everyone received certificate of aplication? I haven't yet. Do you think I should call them?

Hiya, I have applied for PR ( EEA3) in November 2009 and have not received anything back yet? Anyone in similar situation? How long did you wait for an answer? thanks

Hiya, just hoping someone could advise or share past experience. My husband is an Iraqi who is in the immigration legacy cases backlog. He has applied for ILR in 2007 and have been contacted last week asking for 4 passport photographs of myself and all his dependants. Does it mean they will reach de...
