Re: Check the status of your application online - New service

I applied on May 17th and the online status is still 'awaiting' but I'm taking it easy by setting my mind on something else (something more interesting, even if it's less important). Sometimes I feel my application is forgotten and is not with any case workers but I will just wait (that's all I can ...

Re: Proof of right to work during citizenship application pr

You won't get a BRP card as part of the naturalisation application - this is not immigration law. The next documents will be your certificate of naturalisation and passport. Can't comment on the RTW aspect. Oh, ok, I see what you mean... this means that I cannot work then until I get citizenship (a...

Re: Proof of right to work during citizenship application pr

Basically what I need is a proof of right to work in the UK during the waiting period for citizenship approval. (and I thought BRP would help - I know it is not a part of naturalisation process, but as I have done my enrolment I am thinking I would get a card in due course and this will help in the ...

Re: Proof of right to work during citizenship application pr

Hello again, I am posting in the hope that someone is still seeing this conversation. I did biometric enrolment at the post office last Tuesday (13th June) but does anyone know how long (in average or roughly) the actual BRP card take to be delivered to the applicant? I need the proof of my right to...

Re: Time frame to receive acknowledgement / biometric letter

Hello I have a concern about my acknowledgement letter too. I don't know who this conversation is focused on, but my case is British Citizenship application (made on 17th May through NCS). I received the acknowledgement email on 29th May and the money went off my bank account on 31st May. But I stil...

Re: Proof of right to work during citizenship application pr

I need Biometric register (NTL) first if I want to apply through NCS. So you are right after all. No you don't need NTL first. You can apply, as many have, by submitting both passports at NCS for them to copy. HO call centre is well known for providing incorrect advice and take no responsibility fo...

Re: Proof of right to work during citizenship application pr

Good luck, I'm sure we'll be fine as we both otherwise qualify, but just to add that I had everything you mentioned in your list, P45, utility and bills and bank statements (except tax return form) and NCS and UKVI said it wasn't satisfactory proof. If time is a factor and NCS still refuse to forwa...

Re: Proof of right to work during citizenship application pr

Unless I read wrong bearcat only has payslips and bank statements, no P60 like me. Payslips will work. P60 is a cummulative summary of payslips :idea: Thanks for both CR001 and Chinho2k, I will find out what their way is when/before I make an appointment with NCS then. Mine is Leicestershire C.C. b...

Re: Proof of right to work during citizenship application pr

Bank statements and payslips alone are not acceptable proof apparently. At least you were working so can get P60's from your employer or worst case contact HMRC for alternative proof of earnings. It may mean postponing your NCS appointment as it may take up to 6 weeks. I might risk posting like you...

Re: Proof of right to work during citizenship application pr

Why don't you apply through NCS then so that you can keep your original documents? In my case I initially went through NCS who refused to submit my application as it was as I did not have enough proof of residence even after supplying NHS Consultants confirmation that I was attending weekly appoint...

Thank you for your advice. I will send my application through Nationality Checking Service that my local Registory Office provides. In case they are too busy I will look into NCS. Thanks!!

Re: Proof of right to work during citizenship application pr

I had to encourage my employer's HR to use this tool https://www.gov.uk/legal-right-work-uk and say no to everything, after which it will offer the option to accept proof of a pending application, more like benefit of doubt really. I had no other proof except an ILR sticker in an expired passport, ...

Re: Proof of right to work during citizenship application pr

I'm in the same situation and my employer wanted me badly enough to do the right to work checklist on the website and including my acknowledgement letter from The Home Office was satisfied that I am entitled to work while awaiting my naturalisation decision. So I guess it's down to individual emplo...

Proof of right to work during citizenship application proces

I am applying for British Citizenship, and I am wondering if anyone can advise me if the acknowledgement of the application is good enough to prove to potential employers that I have the right to work in the UK or not while the Home Office is processing the application, and otherwise what is the bes...
