Approved!!! Things took a bit longer with the extra document requests and requesting original statements from HMRC but totally worth it being extra safe! Thanks everyone on the blog for the help and support! Eligibility criteria: PR & 5+ years of residency Language criteria met: USA passport for mys...

Thanks for the help. Today is the due date of the additional evidence. We had no problem getting signed original payslips for my wife for period requested, Feb 2015 through Nov 2016. Upon receiving their request letter I immediately called HMRC requesting a letter for my payments in 2015 and 2016. T...

Thanks. This is very helpful. May end up having to show my credit card statements. My immigration solicitor is a bit concerned that the statement of account available from the HMRC website doesn't not specifically segregate National Insurance Contributions. It just shows how much I paid into my acco...

We just got another documents request from the Home Office. There still want evidence that we resided here from April 2015. We sent them our passports from the first request. I always wondered how helpful that would be as the two most frequent destinations (USA and Europe) would not be stamped by ou...

Also, I'm not sure what they are looking for. I have Global Entry for my USA passport which means no stamps when entering the US and they don't stamp EU nationals when they enter the UK so I pretty much have empty passports.

Received letters requesting original passports and returning all other documents.

Just got letter from the Home Office asking for original passports for the past two years for myself and my wife to confirm the residency requirements were met. They also returned all other documents. The letter also says at the end of it to confirm the details that would be on my citizenship certif...

Sorry, that was just me. Didn't mean to confuse the situation for the original post.

As the green card makes you liable for American tax reporting, I'm sure they won't be in a hurry to take it away. I can't believe how much I've had to spend over the years just to comply with the mandated reporting of my American passport.

I suspect everything will be delayed over the next couple weeks with the Christmas rush and strike at Royal Mail.

Home office really strange Me and my best freind wife applied in October 2016 same day via Ncs my best friend wife never worked in Uk as she house wife and her husband lives on benefits and they take house benefits and child benefits and all sorts Nd me for 6 years working with no gabs or change th...

My uncle applied for Italian citizenship in 2001 based on ancestry. He finally got it in 2009. It could be a lot worse!

Pure speculation, but this could be similar to the bad luck my wife had with her name when we visited the USA. By Spanish tradition she has four names and a couple of them are pretty common. For a year and a half we were always kept by immigration when we visited for an extra 2 hours while they call...

Anybody have issues when they submitted only their transcript to NARIC and not the diploma?

Processing times seem to be flying. NicNicNic had only 30 days between submitting biometrics and approval!

I wonder if they hired new staff.

I live in the same council and would be interested to hear what options they give you. I have a couple of months at least of waiting myself, though.

Biometrics done! Now time to enjoy the holidays and wait for the new year.
