Thank you so much again.

Is the size of the pictures ok? (Questions just above the last one )

Also, my referee forms will be dates after the application submission date (e.g. application submission date is 13th July, second referee form is dated 14th July and first referee form is likely to be dated 24th July). My biometrics appointment is 1st August. Are the above dates ok? Thank you, I thi...

Hi, I got passport pictures taken for the referee forms. The pictures are 45mm by 35mm. I have just noticed that the pictures do not fit into the "photo box" on the referee form. It may be due to the aspect ratio of the printed form. Is this going to be an issue? I have already posted the picture an...

Thank you!

Hi (yet) again, I have submitted my application yesterday the 13th of July 2023. My qualifying period is 5 years and I was present in the UK on the 13th of July 2018. I have not been out of the UK for more than 90 days in the past year however, I was not present in the UK on 13 July 2022. I am guess...

Thank you once again @CR001 I really appreciate your help.

I had get myself paranoid wondering if I need to look at any other year in addition to 2018. I'm glad to know that is not the case.

Hi, Sorry another question. I'm sure this has been asked but I'm still a bit unsure 1. What counts as the application date? Is it the date that you submit and pay for the online application of the date of the biometrics? Or another date? 2. I qualify under the 5 year period for citizenship and have ...

Thank you CR001

Hi @alterhase58, thanks for addressing my question again. I really appreciate it. I believe there is some understanding as I was positing a question based on your response rather than a statement. I'm writing it below so that it is clearer. My apologies for this. 1. The citizenship application asks ...

Hi, Thank you very much for addressing the queries. I am confused about the UTR so: 1. On the citizenship application I have to enter the 10 digit UTR and NOT my PAYE? 2. The UTR belongs to my employer. So every employee of the company would have the same UTR? 3. I am employed by a University, when ...

Hi, This form was a huge help when I applied for ILR. I am now applying for British Citizenship on the basis of having ILR for more than 1 year (obtained ILR in 2021) and have a few questions outlined below: 1. Since being awarded my PhD, I have only updated my title to Doctor in select places (e.g....

Received my BRP :D Noticed it does not have a ‘yellow chip’ like my last one. Is this normal? I am guessing it’s probably newer technology but wanted to confirm! Thanks Congratulation!

That is irrelevant. You are restricted by hours, not type of your contract

Thanks Zimba! Just me being absolutely paranoid than.

Thank you @Vivienne Husky! And thank you for taking the time out to help :D and (belated) congrats on your PhD! Zimba, that’s great to know and simplifies things. Thanks! My current visa allows me to work for 20 hours per week. I am currently working (within that time limit) but it’s as a casual wor...

If you've submitted LR September I'd say just wait. How long is your revision by the way? 3 month or 6 month? You're only eligible for a certain time window to apply DES which is I think after hand in the final revision and after the examiners' feedback/approval but before you actually get the degr...
