There is a post early in that link with a copy of a reply by UKBA (now UKVI) explaining that the list is not definitive. It also says that referees are not a statutory requirement for the citizenship process. As with all these things, if you need to find an alternative method, it is always best to i...

Take a look here, first few pages enough.

Hi Guru, I am filling the naturalization application form and I have some questions and hope anyone here can give some advice. 1. Birth name - Since I became 18yrs old, I added an English name as my middle name officially and now all my documents use the same name except my birth certificate. I use...

thanks for the suggestion. Also I was wondering since Home Office asks to write name & DOB on back side of picture & paste on referee forms. Do we need to post them as well? After UKVCAS appointment. Since scanning wont show them name & DOB on photo? No need. UKVI haven't updated their methods sinc...

You will not receive any further confirmation from UKVCAS or UKVI. This is the way it is.

True it's not a big job scanning all pages but it goes up to 22 MB. I thought each file we upload should not exceed 3 MB.

did you save it as .pdf format?

adjust your scanner settings to 150dpi, a 32 page passport should be under 3MB, limit is 6MB per file

I took my test with Trinity (my nearest centre was Hammersmith in London - a two-hour trip on the train/tube). The test took about five minutes, one to one with the examiner. Discuss for five minutes on one of your chosen subjects, then five minutes on one subject from a short list provided by Trini...

I have two examples of being outside UK. Just wanted to check how would these be calculated? Example 1: 01/02/2016 -> flight to Ireland (6am flight) 02/02/2016 -> flight back to UK (8pm flight) How many days absence are in this case? Zero or one day? Theoretically it should be zero, as I was in UK ...

So, you applied for ILR. And before that, what status did you hold? Did you make any applications to get that status from UKVI (previously UKBA)? Work permit? Student visa? Spouse visa?

Nobody knows but you how to answer the question.

I suggest you take the B1 English test, it's quick and easy (for you I think) and costs about the same as getting your degree certified

declare the speeding ticket

scan ALL pages, how will UKVI know that you have not got stamps on pages you decided not to scan???

during online application you have to tick boxes for how HMPO should contact you, i.e. email and/or phone message

maybe you forgot to tick the boxes???

Thanks, Wahi66. Hi All, I need your help regarding the scanning of documents: 1. Should I scan documents in Colour or Grey? (I am scanning in PDF and there is no difference in file size) colour 2. For Proof of Nationality, I am scanning the only 1st page of the passport. Is it sufficient? you will ...

Hi, I was wondering if I could get some advice here please? Also, the other thing I wanted to ask is whether as part of good corrector requirements, do they look at the immigration history for the last 5-6 years or they look at the last 10 years? I had a situation where I had overstated for a bit i...

Thanks for the reply.

Think I'm starting to overthink things!

Welcome to the "over-thinkers club"

UKVI do not require proof of address. UKVCAS ask for proof of address (they asked me) but when I asked they could not explain why they want to see it when UKVI do not request it. Therefore, there is no "definition" of proof of address. Take what you have and don't worry. Thank you so much for your ...

No need to mention it in the extra bit, it is enough to just submit the brp. Hi, Just a quick question. Under required documents, they are asking to submit the BRP and also asking to submit the proof of permission to stay in the UK permanently (for this again the proof is BRP). So submitting BRP is...

Get someone to take your photo with your phone. Worked for me.
