PCNs are not counted, no need to declare them. of course as long as you have paid the fine on time.
i had 2 in last 12 months and there was no issue with naturalization.

thanks a lot Akhurshid

guys, quick question
do i need to carry any documents for my passport interview?

how much time does it takes and anything else should i be aware of?

thanks

you dont need to wait, just declare the Red Light FPN, parking tickets are harmless

guys, need a small clarification.
i filled the passport form with black gel pen, the gal at Post Office was a little bit apprehensive saying that passport application should be filled using Black BIRO which is a ball pen as per her.

will it be a problem, please advise
thanks

Apply for naturalisation -----> Obtain Naturalisation Certificate, then next
Apply for British Passport ---> Obtain British Passport, then next
Surrender India Passport -----> Obtain Surrender Certificate, then next
Apply for OCI ----------------> Obtain OCI, stop.

you dont need to wait, all these are PCNs
and you can have as many as long as you pay on time.

no need to declare too, i had 2 PCNs when i applied, no drama.
even the gal at the NCS told me that PCNs are harmless as long as you pay on time.

thanks akhurshid

i am waiting too and its very disheartening to see people getting approvals who applied 7-10 days after you.
god knows what ukba is doing

gud luck Julian11.

11 days in post, thats horrible. but glad you got it, congrats

congrats rockstar1, i applied on same date, hoping to get mine soon too.
what was the date on approval letter?

Thanks akhurshid, will try this trick.
wish they had premium service for naturalization.

its just crazy that there are a few approvals already posted who have applied after 20th.

i dont know on what basis they pick and approve the applications. feels a bit awkward specially when no info is available why its taking time when others are getting the approvals.

i called at this number again today 0300 123 2253 but the lady again refused to give me any details or update at all. and kept telling me that before 6 months they cant say anything and she doesnt have access to the application details. is there any other way to get an update before 6 months ? thanks
