I applied for the passports separately: several months ago for the adults and recently for the childeren. The adult documents (foreign passports only) were returned a couple of months ago, with no delays. The children's docs arrived last week, both foreign passports and certificates in one envelope....
Hello Forum, The British passports were issued and sent for the family all right. However, for every member, I had sent to the Passport Office the foreign passport and naturalisation certificate. The children got both passports and certificates back, but for the adults, only foreign passports were r...
Hello, I applied for my naturalisation in September 2020, received the decision in November, and now wait for my council to invite me for the online ceremony, the council confirmed that they already received my naturalisation certificate. My spouse and our two children, who were born outside the UK,...
Although my naturalisation letter, as well as the official webpage, warns that it may take more than the standard 6 weeks to get the first adult passport, I see in the timeline thread that actually it happens a lot faster, in just a couple of weeks. I was wondering if the originals I need to send ov...
Hello, I'd appreciate it if you could advise on the following. As a self-employed person earning less than £6475 am I entitled to pension credits arising from the child benefit for an under-12? What happens if my income goes over £6475? (If it is relevant, I've opted out of getting the actual money ...
It is more difficult under the lockdown to arrange for the references. I was wondering, since the application is fully online and no originals need to be sent over to the Home Office, if I can fill out my section of the reference, attach my photo, then scan it and email it to the referee, who will p...

Hi, I'm applying for my two children. After several days of chasing for the appointments, I finally picked up a cancellation for tomorrow in London. - Can I go to London if I live in tier 2? Will we have to self-isolate after that? - Is there a chance to squeeze in the second child? No document chec...
Thank you, I got that there was a choice. It seems that the main difference is that SET (F) requires more information in terms of adequate maintenance and accommodation, so SET (O) is simpler. Anything else? Rule 319J also has that part: (h) All arrangements for the child’s care and accommodation in...

SET (F) is regulated by para 298 of the Immigration Rules. Which paragraph regulates SET (O)? Many than...
I provided my biometrics today through London Victoria Enhanced centre, was super quick. It was only 3 people entering with me and the list of people seemed very small. No queues inside - it's super safe if you're worried about COVID. Plus it only took me 15 mins all together. My route is ILR Tier ...
Hello forum members, I applied yesterday for a PBS dependant child visa and, not surprisingly, was unable to get an appointment. Firstly, none of the centres which were supposed to be open from 22 June is actually open. Secondly, out of 10 open centres, none has any available appointments till end J...
Hello, I already asked about my child's situation some time ago and would like to add another question in the light of some new ideas. Can a child under 16 and on a student visa apply for ILR under paragraph 298 of Part 8 of the Immigration Rules? One parent is already settled as PBS and the other p...
