Hi Guys, We have been trying for weeks to contact Kent citizenship service and annoyingly they are not responding to any calls or emails even. We were hoping to reschedule it for when we return from US but it seems that our only option is to attend the ceremony otherwise we risk running out of 3 mon...

based on my experience, the employment part is not as critical for citizenship application and is more a supplementary information. For self employment, a letter from accountant should suffice. having gaps in employment or self employment has no bearing on citizenship application as long as you are ...
I know we are required to return the ILR card within 5 days but can we return that after returning from our trip and actually use that along with her US passport to return? We will obviously carry her citizenship certificate as well.
Thanks Vinny. We fly in 4 days after the citizenship ceremony, so options are either 1. to reschedule the ceremony to when we return, 2. get the citizenship and then apply the passport from US before returning or maybe we apply for urgent passport application? is that even an option? can first adult...
Hi Guys, My wife's citizenship application has been recently approved and she is being invited to a ceremony in Dec..soon after the ceremony date we have pre booked travel plans which means she will bw outside of UK for couple of months. I was wondering if we could apply for her British passport whi...
Simply list all the travel dates in the form as requested. UKVI have access to the travel data from the advance passenger information provided by airlines.
Submit only what is asked for, not what you think is relevant. Lettets from GP, employer or hospital etc is NOT required. You only need stamped passports pages as the requirements clearly state. what is some of the pages are not stamped as the applicant was travelling under a registered traveller m...
Hi Guys, Apologies if this has been answered multiple times before but can someone please confirm that I only need to provide passport copies of all pages as proof of living in UK for last 3 years? I am worried as some of the stamps are not on it as my wife was travelling as a registered traveller a...
You should certainly include an explanatory note why you have been over the normal absence total - the guidance stipulates the level to which excess absences are "disregarded" so we need to take them by their word - there have been reports from members who were approved with excess absences. So bes...
Has anyone applied with absences over 270 days in last 3 years? is it ok with 286 days or better off waiting to keep it under 270 days? the guidance says up to 300 days is acceptable but not sure if its worth takin slight risk..thanks
thanks guys, thats very helpful! just to be clear when counting days..the day of departure and day of arrival dont count as ones is still present in UK on those dates? Also, I was reading the guidance notes and it states that abesences up to 300 days could be ok at their discretion..In my case, we r...
Hi guys, Apologies if this has been asked before but I am about to make an application for British citizenship for my wife under 3 years residence status as I am a British citizen and I understand that you cannot be absent for more than 270 days in 3 years and 90 days in last 12 months. but my quest...
Hi Guys, Me again! :) my biometric appointment is in 3 weeks time. and ive got document upload service and checking service paid for. but apparently they still require documents to be be uploaded to check before appointment which I am happy to do. but just had couple of questions 1) can documents be...
Hi Guys, Trying to book an appointment with UKVCAS and like many of you not getting anything for next 4-5 weeks. I was wondering if it's best to just book what's available now and then try to re-schedule to an earlier date or is it better to just wait for some slots and try booking early morning? I...

Only Upload documents that are dated on to before the online application date. Your Biometrics appointment date is irrelevant to the date of documents.
Date of application is the date you submit and pay online and not the date of biometric appointment. Thank you for your response. So my current bank statements are up to 3rd June and payslips until 31st May. by the time I upload my documents and have my biometric appointment, it will be 3rd July. d...
@ Zimba - another quick question mate. I have submitted my online application today but not getting the biometric appointment for another 4 weeks. Is the date of application considered when it;s submitted online or when biometric is submitted? reason I ask is because my last payslip and bank stateme...

Hi again, Just couple of quick questions again, again I think I know the answers but want to get another opinion 1.re Bank statements- it asks to provide original or with a letter from bank incase of digital copies..I dont get paper copies anymore from hsbc but the electronic statements are availabl...
Correct. If you are not working for a specified company then you are applying under either Catagory A or B as you have a salaried employment. So you only need to forward a confirmation statement/annual return as per guidance to prove the limited company is not 'specified' type Great, thanks mate. t...
