Hi,

Good Evening

I have submitted my Naturalisation application in early April. I have received a response from HO Case Worker today with the below response.

I wasn't aware of this requirement when I initially submitted my application. Based on the above communication from HO CW, I have following questions i.e. whether the below combination of 1 and 3 is sufficient or whether I should go with 2 and 3?

I would be grateful if someone can clarify my above questions at the earliest.
