UKVI response times vary widely from immediate to never.

That should cover it. Border will probably as questions anyway.

Naturalisation data I have found a while ago on gov.uk is not analysed by visa route. There's actually just one application form for AN.

hi, when HO calculate first day of qualifying period - is this 3/5 years from the date you submitted your application/paid or the day you submit ur biometrics? From date of submission/payment online. Biometrics date is not relevant for the requirement. would they normally ask for evidence for this ...

Apply for naturalisation after 2 October 2024.
Once British apply for a passport.
Post questions on naturalisation in the British Citizenship forum: british-citizenship/

When visiting the UK to attend a trade fair or exhibition, what is the most appropriate reason, as categorized by the UK government because no reason is appearing to attend trade fair, expo or conference etc? A review of the visitor visa rules on gov.uk would have given you this: https://www.gov.uk...

In terms on the naturalisation application I can't see this has any relevance. If there's a dispute that's a civil matter. If all the details you have entered in the application are true and correct to the best of your knowledge then what's the problem? How would you explain this to a caseworker? Ma...

Hi all, My Mrs. has had ILR since March 2023. We want to apply for her naturalization (a British passport). Could you please point me in the right direction to access the correct "form" for the naturalization application? Thanks in advance. Regards, M. There's only one form "AN" - online link: http...

A British citizen cannot apply for a visa to enter the Uk. Solicitor should know this!
Note that passport applications are not immigration applications. HMPO have their own separate requirements.

£80 was the ceremony fee, now increased to £130, earlier this month.
Biometrics UKVCAS charge is separate, free if you can get a free appointment.

I believe that at the time some members contacted the Home Office and were told those emails were sent in error ….

Haven't seen reports of these emails for quite some time! It probably means they sent these emails in error - logically these should be sent after the approval has been issued. Some members speculated at the time that the approval should be received soon after the survey email but can't comment on t...

This type of application "at the discretion of the Home Secretary" is being done for children every day by ILR holders. You clearly hold ILR, the child holds ILR, and generally comply with the requirements. There's nothing extra you have to prove. The term "at the discretion" captures all manner of ...

Might be good idea for UKVI to update their guidance with what is not acceptable.
Council Tax to my mind is a local tax bill raised by local government, rather than a household bill like gas or phone.
I still see people saying they used council tax bills without issues.

If one or both parents have ILR child can register as British.
It doesn't matter that parents are not applying.

For peace of mind write a covering note explaining. Caseworker will see you are proactive. I wouldn't expect this being a reason for refusal.

sorry for bumping this again but please can someone help me. will the gap of 6 months in renewing my passport have any affect in my application? do i need to provide any new evidence during this time? I doubt six months gap is an issue. Caseworkers know that passport renewals in general can take a ...

Council tax bills are official documents and used regularly. Certainly utility bills are not accepted.

Not necessary, back of photo signature goes back to the paper days. Sending electronically is fine.

If the father was British at the time of child's birth then child will be a British citizen by birth. No need for registration, child can apply for a British passport: https://www.gov.uk/overseas-passports Presumably child and parents are in PK - apply online and the system will tell you what is req...

Unfortunately you are not alone .... See this thread: https://www.immigrationboards.com/british-citizenship/have-been-waiting-for-more-than-6-months-t344580.html There are other threads. In itself the delays are not a sign of complication - suspect they are just behind with processing - nobody ever ...

Correct - passport only.
If you renewed your passport during the period you scan the old one and the new one. It's not a requirement to have just one passport as proof.
And yes, B1 English is fine.

As a UK ILR holder your passpor(s) with stamps covering the residency period are sufficient.
P60, Council Tax bills, etc not required - those are used by EU citizens whose passports didn't get stamped.

I'm an EU citizen. Unfortunately, I only have three P60's. Do you think that'll be a problem? You are asked to prove residency by way of official type documents .... Have you got council tax bills for the missing years? Those will be also be ok. There are also suggestions that the employment record...

Are you an EU citizen or EU family member? Then council tax bills or P60 are fine, one for each year (only one type is needed) - monthly payslips are not required. You don't need to send tons of documents. If you hold UK ILR then generally your passport with stamps covering the residency period is s...
