Re: Long trip outside the UK AFTER application, advisable?

Simply - no. Nothing apart from criminal convictions etc. really count after you apply unless your application is refused and you have to apply again. Your qualifying period ends on the date you made your application. I have also travelled abroad between making an application and receiving my certif...

Re: Job offer outside UK whilst applying for BC

Talk to whoever offered you the job and tell them your situation. You can accept the job offer as long as they are willing to wait and you cannot start immigration process/visa until you have your British passport. Regarding PR - yes. If you obtain this, you can apply for BC immediately as this docu...

Did either of you ever find out how to prove EU settlement status? I submitted my application without attaching the EU Settled Status outcome pdf as I didn't think it was a proper document in the good faith that the case worker would check my status. I applied on January 24th and sadly today on Apr...
