Yes, you are absolutely right - we applied on 04.04.2017

Status of my husband's application online from 'awaiting decision' on 25.05.2017 was changed yesterday (04.07.2017) around 3pm to 'decided' on 14.06.17 (!). We still have not received any papers and are now obviously concerned. It's been 14 working days and still waiting. Our solicitor says it is ...

That's good to hear - thank you!

[ I don't have experience of this - what is it you need to prove? Do you meet the requirements as set out in the AN guide? This isn't re-running PR. Perhaps you need to explain why your case is complex. It does not seem complex to me - apart form the fact that my husband could not work because of ...

There is only one type of BC application (not EU or non-EU). Benefits are not considered. You don't have to be in employment. As long as you meet all the requirements there should not be a problem. Recommend that NCS is used - you keep your originals. If you have already submitted via solicitor ...

Hello, Would receiving benefits (housing benefit, council tax benefit, also tax credits) affect naturalisation application in any negative way? Is it necessary to send copies of these to HO? This is EU citizen's application. We did not include any of these when applying for PR (PR received last ...

I think that this Solictor should check the naturalisation requirements again. She may be thinking of the changes to the family Immigration rules effective on 9th July 2012. This increased the qualifying period for ILR of spouses of British citizen from 2 years to 5 years. Consequently, these ...

Thanks Vinny. I had another solicitor who is claiming my husband should wait 12 months - she says I am confusing immigration rules and the one based on marriage was abolished in 2012 (?) and because he is EU citizen he should apply in his own right (?) I am confused :roll: People in HO told me we ...

Hello I would appreciate some clarification on completing AN form and timings, please. One of the solicitors claims that my husband (who is EU citizen and who received PR as my family member 7 months ago) needs to wait 12 months after receiving his PR card before applying for naturalisation, even ...

What evidence did you submit when you naturalised? The level of 2-year (cohabitation) residence evidence they are requesting for SET(M) applicants are on the said form (Section 12, note 8 ). They should accept something similar, but perhaps relatively more documents, for a 3 year period. Anything ...

sorry, my first post was very long - he is Lithuanian (EU citizen) and has already received PR (permanent residency) last year...

really appreciate everyone's input

What documents did he use to obtain confirmation of PR? Perhaps more of the same types of documents. Anything should help. Hi vinny, we did not send much except some bills on his name and couple of family photos - all the rest were my documents. We did not include any doctors' letters. I naively ...

thank you - I wish you very best of luck with your application! when did you submit? Did you send it yourself in the end or via NCS? how long is your sickness/illness? Hearing some cases when people were refused over petty things (HO was not asking for additional info when they could've) I am not ...

I hope someone could shed some light to us. I naturalised last year and hold British passport (was Lithuanian/EEA before then). My husband received his PR last year based on marriage to me (has lived in UK since 2000). We are trying to apply for his British citizenship based on marriage to the ...
