Dear All, I tried to search if this question was asked already before but I didn't find any. My passport is expiring in March 2020 but I plan to apply for my British Citizenship in January 2020. Will that be ok? I have no plans of travelling anywhere during my BC application. Also, is it possible ...

I did the same thing. I put I think $10. I had a cover letter explaining my mother's purpose of visit and that she has no income because she is a housewife. And a Letter of Sponsorship stating that I am sponsoring my mother financially, accommodation, flights, food, etc. I showed 3 months of bank ...
Hello, I have ILR, invited my mother to come here in the UK 3 times already, have been successful without her showing any financial statements. I always mentioned in my cover letter that my mother has been a housewife, no income, that I am sponsoring her financially. I showed my bank statements ...
Did I post my query in the wrong section? Sorry moderators. Because I am still waiting for someone who knows to answer my question. Or maybe because it's the weekend. I searched if I could find a similar question as mine but did not. I know that one referee could be from different nationality. But ...
Hello guys, I read from UKLGIG forum that one of the referees for British citizenship could be a professional from any nationality AND DOES NOT HAVE TO RESIDE IN THE UK. Is this true? Also, I found this Referee form online. Is this the form I will need to give to my referees to sign? I have not ...
Yes, lesson learned. Always have travel health insurance.
I have to reduce working hours (as my sister has to do as well), so mom will not be left alone at home during recovery. She can't travel back to the U.S. in the next 8 weeks.
Hello everyone! I have ILR since 2015, wanting to apply British Citizenship but situation has changed recently, so savings has to go to unplanned expenses. My mother had a mild stroke last week. She has family visitor visa, she is a Permanent Resident of U.S.A. (greencard holder). She came here to ...
Hello! Kindly please correct me here with what I understand about British Citizenship referees. Referee 1: Must be British and professional or over 25 y.o. Referee 2: Must be a professional from ANY NATIONALITIES. Does this include non-EU nationalities like Asians who have ILRs? Can the referee be ...
Hello everyone, I am not sure if this question has been asked already. Because of the Brexit, will ILR holders be affected in terms of applying for British Citizenship? Do we need to hurry and apply before Brexit finally completes in March 2019? Also, since we are exiting from EU, is one of the ...
Hello!!! If HO has already checked your 5 or 10-year history , what else does HO need to check when you apply for Naturalisation? Is it just the last 12 months you were free from immigration time restrictions? If yes, so why is HO taking too long to review documents for BC? If not, what else do they ...
Thank you very much Ohara for very quick reply! Very much appreciated! So what if I make use of NCS, since they will make certified copies of docs, does that mean I can still travel outside of the UK (unless I retain my BRP)? If yes, will that absence count to what I already have? Last question, how ...
Hello!! I have some specific questions I can't find from here. I was granted ILR on the basis of 10-year route on 27 July, 2015. It only took 10 weeks. No issues. My questions are: 1. When is the earliest date I can apply for British Citizenship? Is 01 Aug 2016 alright? I was absent from the UK for ...
Hi there! Just a quick question. It was mentioned in the SET(LR) guidance note #9 Documents.. "...In addition you should provide photocopies of each of these documents including any pages of your passport(s) that contain personal details, visas or immigration stamps ( foreign or UK)." Does it mean I ...
I am applying on the basis of long residence. My only option is to send application by post. Am I right? Even so, there is an additional fee for premium.
So what would be the best payment form? thank you.
Hello, I need advice please. What is the best form of making payment if I will send my application by post? I have read some experiences online that they used Barclay Visa Debit and got declined due to Barclay's Anti Fraud even though they informed the bank earlier. Also in the application form, it ...
My friend's college just got suspended. He has outstanding balance on his fees. His course will finish in June. College said he needs to pay the remaining fees now. But does the college still has the right to ask when they are already suspended and course is not finished yet?
