Hi All I received my invitation letter from home office on 12/06/2021 for ceremony , seems like it I have to book ceremony within 21days received letter . date on letter is 03/06/2021 and I don't have enough time. My issue is I am living in Cambridge and rubbish Cambridge council only responded by ...

Hi all, I face a dilemma. I moved to a new address before receiving my approval letter. Subsequently my invitation letter to attend a ceremony was returned to the Home Office for some reason, even though I had set up mail redirection. I contacted that local council. It is noteworthy that I no longer...

Does anyone know a way to get in contact with Cambridgeshire citizenship office? I've emailed 10 days ago, radio silence. E-mailed them and got a reply in a few hours. You should provide them all the details they asked for and might be better to send a new email as well. Thanks. Good to know they'r...

Hi all, I received my naturalisation approval letter through email on 7th May. The letter states that I should not contact the local council until I have received a ceremony invitation letter. It also states that if I do not receive the invitation within 3 weeks of approval, I should email the Home ...

Hi everyone, I received my naturalisation application approval 3 weeks ago. However I still haven't received an invitation to attend a citizenship ceremony. In the approval letter, I have been advised not to contact the local council until I have received the invitation letter. Does anyone know how ...

Hi all, I attended biometrics appointment on 14th January, 2021. Three months on, I'm still awaiting approval of my application. Last week, I moved to a new address. Although I have set up mail redirection to my new address for the next three months, I'm not entirely sure if I need to notify UKVI. A...

I never got an email reply to my enquiry. I just got my decision letter in post instead. I emailed them on 10th Nov. Decision letter had a date of 10th Nov also (same day email enquiry was sent). Received approval letter on 14th Nov in post. Email: NationalityFrontEndTechnicalSpecialists@homeoffice...

Hi all, I attended the biometrics appointment for my naturalisation application on 14th January. It's been almost two months since and I haven't heard anything back. I regularly check the timelines section here and I can see that a lot of people received an approval notification within a month or so...

Your salary or employment is irrelevant to your citizenship application. You do not even have to be employed if your choose not to be.

Thank you. That is very reassuring.

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone could help me here. I applied for naturalisation last month. My application for ILR was approved in May 2019 after 5 years on a tier 2 visa. During my 5 year qualifying period, I changed employers only once. After receiving my ILR, I resigned from my job in August of...

I must say, that having lived in the UK for more than a decade, I feel that the system is rigged against decent, law-abiding residents and more so, if you happen to be a legal immigrant.

Shall I take legal action against the HMRC and the employer in question? You need to consult a lawyer as to the legal basis for action. However, you'd probably need raise a formal complaint first: https://www.gov.uk/complain-about-hmrc If no satisfactory outcome you can take it to the Adjudicator's...

Hi everyone,
One of my referees has sent back my form signed in blue ink instead of black. Would this be acceptable?

Thanks.

Discrepancies in employment dates (leaving/Joining/P45) are generally not an issue, and as @cullinan said: Re: Employment History - Response from HMRC vis-à-vis SAR by CULLINAN » 20 Sep 2020 18:27 Thats what I said, if the date in error covers your work visa conditions, then no issues even if its n...

Your not self-employed then. Tick director only and explain the company is dormant in additional notes. Really appreciate your guidance! I could only see one section for notes and that is in a different section of the application. Is that the right place to add any notes relevant to work history?

Are you registered as self-employed? Why did you select both options? Should I only choose Director? Have you registered with HMRC as self-employed? You have to be registered as self-employed or are you trading as Ltd Company? If you have a company and you are director, seems like your not self-emp...

Should I only choose Director? I haven't submitted the application yet, so I am still able to make changes.

Are you registered as self-employed or are you the director? Hi, I'm a director. But in my naturalisation application, I've selected both self-employed and director. My company has been dormant since I registered it back in September. So naturally, I'm not expected to file tax returns. What evidenc...

I just found some relevant info on this website. https://www.informdirect.co.uk/company-formation/tell-hmrc-new-company-dormant/ Apparently I need a letter from the HMRC to confirm that my company is dormant. However it takes 14 days to arrive and due to the Christmas holidays it may take even long....

Hi everyone, I'm completing my naturalisation application. In the documents section, I'm required to provide the most recent tax year account statement and corresponding HMRC tax return as proof of self-employment. I only registered my Private Limited company in September 2020. The company has been ...

Please ignore. I've found the link to add details for additional jobs!

Good Evening, I am completing the online application form for naturalisation. For some reason, the system won't allow me to enter details for more than 5 previous employments. Has anyone else experienced the same issue? It seems unlikely that this is a bug in their online system, considering that th...
