UK borders area open. Why are you not able to travel? Do collect proofs of your inability to travel - Flight ticket cancellations/Government order etc. During covid times, HO should be accommodating genuine cases.jafersadeq wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 3:51 pmDear Gurus,
I travelled to my home country in Dec 2020 and I already planned to go back the UK on 4th Jan 2021, and due to COVID pandemic and the current lockdown I cannot go back the UK, it may be resolved in Feb 2021.
If I apply in Feb 2021 when I am in the UK, the period will be 115 days, it exceeded the 90 or 100 days... What shall I do?
Please advise
Regards
Many thanks for your answer,CULLINAN wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 7:46 pmEveryone qualifies for Nationality on their own merits. There is no requirement to apply for your children when you apply for your own application.
As long you meet the AN requirements yes you can apply. You are free to travel after application date. Note you have to submit biometrics also within 2 months. You can travel before or after biometrics up to you.
You can travel before you attend the ceremony.
You will not be able to travel on your ILR BRP after you become British. You have to return your ILR BRP within 5 days after ceremony as it is invalid then and you can be fined up to £1000 otherwise.
You become British Citizen when you attend the ceremony and can enter UK only on a British Passport.
Good that you wrote in your signature "personal opinion" because it's exactly what it is. Do you have any official evidence to write "HO is very strict with absences in the last 1 year" ? Up to 100 days are disregarded, seeCULLINAN wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 6:11 pmPage 16,17

Note: HO is very strict with the absences in the last 1 year. You will have to fulfil other requirements as stated in the above link to override that.
BC is discretionary - it is a privilege not a right. You flew during a pandemic so you knew what you are calling for.
It is hard to justify and personally I would not risk it. You should wait and apply only when you meet the 5 years (or 3 years if you are married to a BC) AND 90 days absence limits.
You only become British when you attend the ceremony. To attend the ceremony, you must be in UK. Once you attend the ceremony, your ILR BRP will be invalid and you will have to apply for a British Passport.jafersadeq wrote: ↑Sat Jan 23, 2021 11:38 amMany thanks for your answer,CULLINAN wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 7:46 pmEveryone qualifies for Nationality on their own merits.

I have a passport (St Kitts and Nevis), I can enter with a 6 months visa at the airport if my ILR card becomes invalid when I become British.
Can I use that passport when I want to enter the UK.
Any answer please?jafersadeq wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 5:16 pmDear Gurus,
My son 22 years travelled to Northern Ireland two moths ago, he has ILR.
Can he apply for Br. citizenship there? or he has to come back London and apply from London.

IDV is no longer available except for tier 4 student visa applications. This has been the case since mid September already.jafersadeq wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 7:34 pmDear Gurus,
When I apply on 20-02-2021, is IDV available, or I have to give my fingerprint and photo with the appointment? shall I book an appointment for that?
I gave my fingerprint last year.
Please advise
