Hi all, I am an EU national who also holds the UK citisenship since last year and I was wondering whether I will always need to travel to the EU with both passports post Brexit to ensure I can seamlessly pass borders? Usually I travel just on my EU passport/ID card, but I imagine that would cause pr...
Hi all, I am currently filling out the DS-160 form for a US B2 Tourism visa. I am planning to travel to the US for a week with my girlfriend in November and there is one question on the form which I find confusing and to which I can't find a sensible answer on Google: Are there other persons traveli...
The way I read what it says for supporting documents at the end of the AN form is that you need either a passport or a national ID card. I don't think a German driver's licence is good enough. You can use your German ID card if you don't want to use the passport. Also, if you apply via NCS you get t...
Hi OP, I would first of all contact HMPO - you can google their phone number easily. They are actually way more helpful than anyone on the HO phone lines so they should be able to tell you directly why you haven't received it yet. If they say they haven't received the confirmation from the HO that y...
If they indeed require some sort of identification from you for the baby's application, you can also use your German ID card and keep your passport. I applied for naturalisation using my German ID card. PS: Not sure if you can use NCS when going the MN1 route, but if you can they will photocopy your...

Hi guys just would like to get advice from someone here . I have applied in November but i have some debts like a loan and i have paid for few months till i lost my job then I couldn't afford then i started to receive benefits then the collection agency called me to make arrangement to repay my loa...
So even when it said Decided, it might not yet have been decided. Once a decision has been made, a letter will be sent which has to be signed for when you receive it, Nonsense. The letters are sent out standard second class post (not signed for). I am only repeating what someone from the official n...
So, the UKVI office is testing a new online service which is great as I won't be anxious about the post every single day https://contact-ukvi.homeoffice.gov.uk/app/visa_application/checkvisastatus Still in beta, and it seems like applications done in less than 4 weeks might not be traceable yet. Is...
I guess the best way is to choose one of the two and then to explain that you aren't sure on the extra notes space at the back. For the date - looks like you started work on Monday - I realise it's 15 years back, but do you remember where you first stayed and if you went to work directly the next da...

Hi all, I am a bit in a hurry, but good news!!!! I got a 'Citizenship Invitation' letter. It starts with 'I am pleased to tell you that this application for British citizenship has been approved' and then goes on talking about attending the ceremony. Now, I know that I am supposed to receive two let...
The status checker is an experiment, people have had the status change to decided and it's been a mistake, further checks when they've enquired if you read back through. The checker is about as reliable as the English weather. But hopefully everyone will be sorted eventually So are you saying that ...
Hi everyone', it looks like since saturday 2nd of december, no one has had their status' changed to "decided".Before,everyday there was at least a couple of applications had their status changed.. Wonder now if H.O has changed the way it used to work.... No it's not ours is still "Awaiting a decisi...
I have a bit of an odd question. I randomly decided to check the reference that is 1 digit before mine (e.g. ends on a 6 if mine ends on a 7) and it was decided. Then I checked the one before the 6 (e.g. 4 because 5 did not seem to exist) and it was still Awaiting Decision. Have we had any informat...
I have a slightly off topic question (apologies in advance CR001), but didn't know where else to put it and didn't think it was worth starting a new thread about it. Royal Mail claims on their website that second class mail takes 2-3 business days to be delivered. HO mail is sent via second class ma...
Congratulations It is now confirmed from your status changed that Homeoffice is working on Saturdays if not full day , than at least half day. Thank you MYA :) I am not certain it means the HO works on Saturdays. From what I have read on here it appears that the website gets updated once a day at 1...
I almost can't breathe... my online status changed to 'Decided' overnight. I definitely checked last night after midnight and it was still on awaiting decision, so it seems like it was updated between then and Saturday early afternoon (probably 12.00?). I am so excited and I am moving out in 2 weeks...

Yes, I did receive the biometrics letter together in one envelope with the confirmation letter, which is also unusual when compared to other members, but I don't mind. I just can't wait for not having to worry about this constantly anymore. It's more mentally draining than I expected... =( Thanks fo...
Out of interest, can I ask how many of you did not receive a confirmation e-mail as part of their application and still had their cases decided within less than say 3 months? I never received a confirmation e-mail and it appears that even though my application is super straight forward (EEA PR, same...
Hi Dimik, Check the website of the German Embassy in London, they have an FAQ about Brexit and getting a dual citizenship with the UK. Last time I checked, you don't have to do anything as long as the UK is still part of the EU. So if your naturalisation happens before the UK exits the EU you are fi...
2. Yes, you need to prove your residence and for that, you need to provide all your payslips, bank statements, bills, p60 etc Please correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think you need all of these. Surely P60s for each year are enough and perhaps something to cover the period from the last P60 un...
