I telephoned Bradford Council today and they mentioned having receiving a batch from Home Office and it seems my wife's will be in there. However they need sort through them it seems. With West Yorkshire heading into Tier 3 the adviser mentioned they are waiting to see what will happen and whether c...

Just an update. I rang Bradford Council today and they haven't received the paperwork from Home Office. They are still waiting for that batch according to what adviser told me so can't book ceremony until they have the documents. Just need to keep waiting.

Good news everyone! My wife received her invitation letter and it is dated 8th October. I tried to book citizenship ceremony with Bradford Council but they couldn't do it either due to being short staffed so someone is just taking details and to ring up next week or they haven't received the docume...

UPDATE - fixed the formula in B6 to refer to correct rows A quick and simple Excel model for approval-ceremony date relationship.

Anyone here from Buckinghamshire (Bucks) Council. I know my case was approved only recently (7th September) compared to many others on this forum who have been waiting for much longer, but thought it would be worth checking if someone is from my council and what's the trend there. We're in Bucks, g...

She is free to travel. She is only British once she has attended her ceremony and at which point her ilr BRP has to be returned. Bear in mind that the risk of getting stuck abroad is a big one. Thanks for the reply. You're right but ill health of family member hasn't left much choice it seems. I ju...

Hello, My wife received confirmation that she has been approved for citizenship although she is waiting for invitation letter and citizenship ceremonies to resume in order to book the ceremony and subsequently apply for passport. Unfortunately, she has to travel due to unforeseen circumstance. She h...

It also states that I should cancel the appointment and then rebook. I would be refunded for the first appointment within 10 days.

Hello, my wife had a scheduled biometric appointment for Friday but she received an email from Admin.UKvas@soprasteria.com stating that her appointment had been cancelled due to staff shortage. However in the email it states that her appointment tomorrow has been cancelled which doesn't make sense. ...

Thank you. I'll scan and upload the Home Office letters and e-mail too.

When uploading the documents should I add them all in "Proof of Application" section or just the passport that it asks for and put everything else in "Other" as per the checklist. Also, i was checking the guidance and is it correct that meeting the proof of freedom from time restrictions is based on...

I received the letter which instructs to send expired or cancelled BRP card back so I better do that pronto.

I mean the BRP recieved after FLR approval. Is there a requirement to send this back even though it will have been cancelled?

I forgot to ask someyhing. What should my wife do with her biometric residence permit received after her FLR application? It is still valid and expires in April.

Thank you again.

Does the referee need to provide a declaration or letter with a passport copy stating they know my wife? Can't seem to find if that is necessary. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply and confirmation.

Hello, I receiveed my wife's ILR approval and biometric residence permit but I had a couple of questions while filling out the online which I imagine have been answered but I would appreciate the guidance. 1) There is a question about previous UK immigration applications in the UK or abroad. Should ...

Hello, could anyone please clarify the above question. Most of my documentation / correspondence will be under my current address. When we move then some of our documents will be under the new address. Application likely to be sent in Feb / Mar '20. Is there anything that we need to do that I might ...

Hello, I had a follow-up questions as we might be moving to another address in the next 3 - 5 months and that will mean we have an address change. How will this impact the application? Do we just include the correspondence for both addresses? Thank you.

She cannot apply for ILR any sooner than within 28 days before the 5th anniversary of her date of entry to the UK on a spouse settlement visa. So the earliest she can apply is 14th January 2020. https://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadded.html?d1=11&m1=2&y1=2020&type=sub&ay=&am=&aw=&ad=28&rec= Thank...
