Re: Naturalisation application processing timelines (only)

I'm trying to update my timeline with passport application details, but when I click on the quote marks button, the panel doesn't show any of the text - only 'Nancy DD wrote' and quote marks, otherwise blank.

Re: One confusion cleared, another caused

It sounds like you're at risk of overloading them with more information than they need. If they need something, they will ask you for it and you can email it to them. Mailing them is only valid IF you made a mistake that if you didn't correct would amount to deception. Too much information only mak...

Re: One confusion cleared, another caused

You really are overthinking a little. Important to note that the staff at the sopra points are not home office staff. Sopra is merely a third party agent. There is NO need to "send originals with a covering note"!! If HO wants to see a document at any point, they will write to you and ask for it. T...

Re: One confusion cleared, another caused

Are you a Non-EU citizen at present? If so your passports during the qualifying period (5 years or 3 years depending on if your partner is British) would contain entry stamps each time you return to the UK, so those passports can serve as proof of travel history. I am not a Non-EU citizen, in some ...

Thank you, I could try that (border control thing) although I haven't flown in the past 3 years, only sailed from either Felixstowe or Southampton, however I believe the criteria stipulate that bank statements are not acceptable - and I've gone paperless as well.

What represents 'Proof of Living in the UK' - is it the same as 'Life Events'?
