Right-I could do that now post citizenship application?

and an off topic question: I am entitled to 25% discount off the council tax because my wife is a student, before that it was a single occupancy (also 25% discount). It has been a direct debit from the same account for years, always paid on time, however, I don't think I have updated the status to r...

Hi, I have submitted my Naturalisation application on 9/1/23. My question is, how do you deal with travel whilst the application is pending? *if* for example my application is approved on 1st April, Do I have to book a ceremony before 1/7, meaning the ceremony itself needs to be done by 1/7 or it co...

Hi

I am planning to apply for my son's (2 years old) first child passport using the 1 week service. Does anyone know if he needs to be there himself, or myself or his mum could go on his behalf?

Thank you !

Hi, i was planning to attend a biometrics appt with my 2 years old as the responsible adult. Now and due to unexpected health reasons, I maynot be able to attend with him, can his mum go instead with a written confirmation from me? Any input will be appreciated as the appt is this week.

Sorry quick question- so you didn't submit the whole list of documents required by the checklist? cohabitation 2 years, etc?

Any thoughts on this please??

Hello, I have been granted ILR based on long residence a few days ago and now in the process of sorting my wife's and son's situation. They are currently on PBS dependant visa (when it was called Tier 2). -I have already applied online for my son's registration through the MN1 form as he was born he...

Hi, I want to submit the MN1 form for my child as soon as possible. I have just received my ILR decision letter by email. Can I use this letter as proof of my settlement rather than wait 7-10 working days for the BRP (this will probably be longer due to the festive period). In the check list, it men...

No worries. They might tell you off or something I am no expert, but never heard of anyone getting a fine for being late in updating the details, especially with appts to update details already very scarce and far into next year ! Good luck

A similar thing happen to a friend of mine once, called the OVRO (Kent) and they were able to accommodate them based on the urgency of the situation, might be worth a try?

Thank you !

Hi- congrats for your wife’s ILR approval. I am applying in couple of weeks myself for ILR LR. I was just wondering, were you able to find a super priority slot? If so, what time of the day did you log in and find it?

Thanks alot.

Thanks Zimba, lots of these are as a result of the checklist generated at the end after the application. I don't think I was using the wrong form...?

Any thoughts on the stamps issue?

Hi, I have been getting lots of great advice here, and now I am planning to submit my ILR (LR) application on the 10th of December 2021 (28 days from the 10th anniversary of first entry to the UK- 6th January 2022). I have total absences of 490 days of which a single absence of 140 days. I am planni...

Another question sorry ! If my wife gets her FLR (M) after my ILR based on LR. What happens to my son who is my dependent right now (Tier 2)? I believe he can apply for naturalisation right after my ILR? While he is waiting the 6 months period to hear back, can he travel outside the UK with his T2 d...

Thanks Vinny- in the guidance link you sent- it said that they should apply as soon as possible. Is there a defined period or they really need to do it as soon as I receive a decision? i.e. It's best if they don't travel outside the UK with their Tier 2 visas?

Hi, I am submitting my ILR (LR) application in 2 weeks and I have a question: My wife and my son are here in the UK with me, on Tier 2 dependent visas, valid until September 2022. If my ILR application is successful, what happens to their Tier 2 visas? Does it say valid until the expiry date or does...

Hi- Sorry to barge in- just wanted to check if you were able to apply using the super priority service or you have decided to wait?

Thank you very much Zimba, so just to double check. If I reach the payment stage and I don't find the superpriority fee, and I choose not to pay for the standard service at that moment, and leave it be for a few days, application won't be considered and I can still travel outside the UK freely (curr...

Thanks- yes I am aware that if I fully submit the application, then It is now with the HO. I was just wondering to whether filling the form and completing it until the superpriority service availability stage and not paying the £2500+ fee would constitute as a submission or not... No need to take th...
