Hi CR001, CULLINAN, Another question about residence requirements, specifically about proving that I was in the UK 5 years before the application date. As I am non-EEA, the only thing I need to provide is my previous passports. I'm assuming the caseworker will look through and check the stamps to ve...

Hi both, would appreciate your help / opinion on my initial questions... I've since found a guide called "Nationality policy: Naturalisation as a British citizen by discretion" Version 5.0. It includes the following guidance: "Where an applicant has spent more than the 450 day for section 6(1) appli...

Good point, didn't take into account that this is different to immigration application.

Good afternoon, Hope this is the right place for the question (if not apologies in advance to moderators and please advise where best to move it). I have searched everywhere for an answer but cannot find it neither on this forum nor gov .uk. I am about to submit my UK citizenship online application...

Hi all I am about to submit my UK citizenship online application, and understand that leaving and re-entering the UK is allowed whilst the application is being processed. I would like to seek clarification / experience / advice on whether travel is allowed from the day the online application is subm...
