Hi all Once I receive the British passport, do I need to inform any bodies like the HMRC or bank or anyone else? I know that I have to inform HR at work. But other than that, I could not find any advice/guidance online whether any other bodies need to be informed. Any guidance on this will be apprec...
Eligibility criteria: 5years + married to British citizen
Date of application: 01 November 2020
Date biometrics enrolled: 09 November 2020
Date of receipt of approval: Never received email
Date of receipt of ceremony letter: 10 Apr 2021 (dated 01 Apr 2021)

@tempuser202020: When I originally said that I got the approval, I meant that I got the ceremony letter. So I received my ceremony letter on 10 April 2021. I never received any separate approval letter (email or post). I've had my ceremony on 28 April 2021. So the long journey has finally come to an...
Hi tempuser202020 As promised in an earlier post, just keeping you updated that I received my approval letter today after 5 months and 2 weeks since I applied on 01 November 2020. Hope you have had some good news too. Best regards Alakazam Hi Alakazam, I don't think there is any way to track the app...

Hi tempuser Thanks for your response. It's some comfort that no one has reported that the email went to their junk folders. I guess we will have to wait another 6 weeks or so before we can demand for any status update. Will keep you posted on any developments. Best regards Alakazam Hi Alakazam, I do...
Hi all A bit of a long shot, but is there anyway to track my Naturalisation application status? I applied on 01 Nov 2020. So it's just over 4 months. But I am beginning to wonder whether the email approval could have gone to my junk and got permanently erased after the 30 day period in gmail. I have...
Hi all I've just got home after my appointment for Naturalisation. It was at Lansdowne Road at 8am. No delays. Same as last time for ILR appointment. Just took photo, finger prints and signature. The lady at the counter asked that I haven't uploaded any documents for proof of living in the UK. I exp...
I have got appointment as well on 20 of November. Do you think if I cancelled and rebooked I will get appointment next week? Thanks Hi MALCOM2 As Cullinan says, it is a risk. I checked the last 3 days at 11.55 pm and again a few minutes past midnight on all 3 days. I only saw appointments available...
Looks like you cancelled when less than 48 hours left to your appointment? In this case no fee will be refunded. Hopefully I get the refund since my appointment was at 0900 on 07 Nov. So 48 hours before that appointment time is 0900 on 05 Nov - which is tomorrow morning. Or am I missing something?
When was your old appointment which you cancelled? Was it paid?
Hi Cullinan
The original appointment which I cancelled was for Saturday 07 Nov. That was also a paid appointment. I understand that I will be charged 10 GBP and refunded the rest.
Oh no!! You will have to rebook now. If your appointment was paid and cancelled within 48 hours window, you will not get refund either. Maybe you can not book the same slot again. You will have to try or see more appointments 12AM GMT. Earliest will be for 2nd Dec now. I managed to secure a paid ap...
Post by Alakazam » Wed Nov 04, 2020 9:22 pm Hi all On the UKVCAS website, the Document Upload webpage says that you can upload documents in stages right up to your appointment time.

Hi all I’ve just submitted my application and paid for the British citizenship. I previously assumed that we need to upload our passport picture onto UKVCAS. But going through the application, the guidance and this forum, it looks like photo submission is not required on UKVCAS. It will be taken at ...
Hi all Just wanted to check whether there have been any free appointments to book lately. Could not see any free appointments. I appreciate that free appointments get booked up very quickly and that I have to keep checking after midnight everyday for any cancellations. But just wanted to check wheth...
Hi all I received my approval email from UKVISETM@homeoffice.gov.uk at 1pm today (13 Oct). Very relieved. Thanks to everyone for their input and all the support during this stressful time. My timeline Application submitted: 08 June IDV Submission: 28 Aug In Person Bio: 08 Oct Decision Email: 13 Oct ...
Hi all I have my appointment tomorrow at Lansdowne Road at 9.30 am. I know this forum has sort of agreed that the dual submission is no longer speeding up the process lately. But I had booked this a while back so I might as well go for it and hope it gives me a quicker decision. Just wanted to check...
I saw a member ask the question a few days back about the email address from which the decision email comes. I did not see any response to that question.
What email address does the decision letter come from?
Hi all ILR Set(M) Application submitted: 8 June IDV submission: 28 Aug Even though several members got quick approvals after in person appointment, I thought I'd wait for the 3 weeks to pass after IDV submission. Now it's almost 4 weeks and I have booked a free appointment for 8th October (which is ...
Hello I am told that I need an Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) number to extend my visa application. How long does it take to get an IHS number? After, I make the application online, do I get an IHS number immediately? Or does it take a few days/weeks for approvals and for it to come by post? Jus...
