Might be good idea for UKVI to update their guidance with what is not acceptable. Council Tax to my mind is a local tax bill raised by local government, rather than a household bill like gas or phone. I still see people saying they used council tax bills without issues. Perhaps they are not accepte...

Hi, I had some questions regarding the citizenship process and timeline. 3) What are the steps I need to do after getting the citizenship document in March, should I Surrender existing Indian Passport Apply for British Passport Apply for OCI OR Apply for British Passport Surrender Indian Passport A...

I am a British Citizen and I am currently in the UK. I want to bring my wife from the Philippines to the UK. She is currently in the Philippines. I am planning to hire a solicitor here in the UK to help us do spouse visa. My question: If we hire a solicitor and they help us make the application (on...

Write a cover letter explaining the situation of your spouse and also include your own ILR copy. or if possible just wait until you her application is resolved.

I wonder what happens if you move abroad once naturalisation application and biometrics have been submitted as spouse of BC.
Can the applicant just come back, do the ceremony and go back or are there residence requirements even after submission of naturalisation?

Hi
does the "Declaratation for spouses" need to be signed and uploaded similar to ILR? It hasn't been asked for.

Thank you so much for your reply. If they read 4 years and 11 months on application, hope they wont reject it stating that you haven't completed 5 years in the country. Apologies for silly question. Lot of money is at risk hence probably overthinking. we recently applied - wrote 4 years and 11 mont...

Hello again, I've now received confirmation of my application approval - thank you all for your support with the process. I'm now looking to book my citizenship ceremony. I understand I would be provided the certificate during the ceremony and my BRP will then no longer be valid. I'm planning to tr...

Thank you... A cheeky follow up question. Consent form - I recall people reporting them adding this to the documents required. Will this appear along with referee forms as required to download and complete for upload at the end of the application? I applied in May and it didn't appear on the list o...

Thanks, Wanted to just double check something - when applicant first came on spouse visa, their spouse was on ILR. Got naturalised 3 months after they came to the UK and subsequent extension and ILR were received as spouse of British citizen. So when applicant now applies for BC, am guessing they co...

you can book a postal re-direction service so any letters on automatically get sent to your new address

Thanks, the applicant recently got a new passport last month - do they have to scan over all the blank pages in this passport as well even though it has not been used to travel abroad?

Thanks.

The application asks for "Proof of living in the UK for applicant for 5 years if applying in your own right or 3 years if applying as the spouse of a British Citizen"

So one has to scan all the pages with entry/exit stamps - also blank pages?

thanks. 1) Separately they ask about previous application for the UK. Prior to spouse visa and subsequent applications, the applicant came over to the UK as a student in Sep 2015 to Jan 2017 and as a tourist in early 2018. Do these need to be mentioned as we don't necessarily have all details about ...

thanks. In the question below, are they referring to ILR or spouse visa or both? Your previous visa Do you have a previous visa, entry clearance or leave to remain where you had to prove your knowledge of English? (Yes/No) If Yes, Tell us the previous visa, entry clearance or leave to remain you ha...

thanks both.

Interesting requirement to be present in the UK exactly 3 years to the day UKVI receive application.

I am guessing that's referring to the date when you submit online and not biometrics?

Husband doesn't need to physically sign anything like the FLR(M). However, you would need his copies of his passport, marriage certificate and evidence that you've been living together in the last 2 years like joint letters or individual letters addressed to you guys. So if you have those, you real...

Hi spouse has just received ILR approval email today. Couple of queries for naturalisation process: 1) Since the sponsoring spouse is British citizen , the applicant can now look to apply BC immediately? - is there a minimum waiting period, ie. from when BRP is received? 2) Can the applicant tempora...

Got the ILR, thanks for everyone's help!
Fingerprints given on Saturday morning, received approval email first thing Monday morning.

Presumably if one applies using super priority and gives biometrics on a Saturday, the earliest you can expect to hear is Monday?
