Re: Further enquiries raised during a naturalisation application - does the 6 month timeline reset?

Extremely straight-forward? Then what the next step would be, somebody from Home office brings citizenship certificate to you and apologizes for being late :shock: Everyone is waiting! whether the spouse is British or not and their case is complicated or clear. And it is not a Ryanair flight with pr...

Re: Extra evidence required? Passport stamped when arrived but used e-gates once when returning from a holiday

That was a similar situation for my wife, son and daughter as they are all EU citizens. Rather than trying to prove with other documents I used the following link to request their history of entry and exit into and out of the UK for the last 5 years and added it to their naturalisation application. ...

Re: What time does HO Atlas email come through?

If it's been more than 6 months since you submitted biometrics you can follow up with them and your MP. It seems that acceptance emails tend to be sent on a Monday regardless when the decision was made. Yes I noticed that too. A couple of months ago I received the email on Monday, then 2 weeks ago ...

Re: Naturalisation application form question - Previous application

Any means simply; whenever in your your life. For instance, I remember I added my first EEA family permit application in my country, second application (EEA2) after living in the UK for 6 months, 3rd one for pre-settled status and 4th one for settled status. Furthermore, I followed the same path for...

I’m planning to for citizenship now and later will need to renew BRP in one month time. Will that be ok? Apology for this but just cur...

Re: Using pre-settled RC with Settled status

Oh, thanks buddy, appreciated. Although we are still preparing and have 10 months before the applications, I just want to make sure about the details as I am planning to apply for the family of 4 (which will probably cost me a fortune).
Thanks again.

Using pre-settled RC with Settled status

Hi there, we got settled status a month ago but we are still using the old RCs stating "pre-settled" as they are valid till 2024. My question is do we need to renew RCs to "settled status" before we apply to naturalisation next year or is it irrelevant as we already have settled status emails? Thanks.
