Thanks alterhase!

Hi all! As my referees live in different cities I have sent them 2 letters with the form and the passport photo (they need to write my name and DOB on the back of the picture and sign and complete the form). They have then sent this all back to me again via post. I have received my first referee’s l...

I am not an expert but I think she’s not an overstayer as as you say before November 2016 there was the 28 days grace period. It is mentioned at page 46 of the Good character requirements guidelines: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/9236...

Yeah that thing about putting the DOB and initials on the back of the photo and then gluing it to the form is just dumb ahah

Thanks CR!

Hi folks, I'm just about done with my form filling and would like to understand how to proceed with referee declarations which have to be submitted. Would it be enough to scan and upload a soft copy or would I need to send across a signed hardcopy? In short, would it be enough to: Send across the P...

I am also wondering the same. Just to be sure I have mailed my referees the form (snail mail)…

Hello, I am a bit confused by this question in the AN form. On my payslip (I am on PAYE) I only have a reference to an "Employee/Payroll No." (3 letters and 5 numbers). In my P60 instead (alongside my employee/payroll n.) I also have an "Employer PAYE reference" (3 numbers + slash (/) + 2 letters 5 ...

Great, thanks!

Hi, I will soon apply for naturalisation. I was wondering: what is the day that the Home Office considers an application to be received? As I want t double check that I was not on holidays 5 years prior… Is it the day in which the application is submitted online, or the day of the biometrics appoint...

Thanks CR!

Hello, EU citizen with settled status. Will be applying for naturalisation in a couple of months. I am within the 450 days outside the UK in previous 5 years and 90 days in last year requirements. But what happens after I submit my application? Can I go over the 90 days limit…? Do I need to be aware...

Thanks everyone, I’ll stick with my local council

Hello, I am completing the application now and I can select any council for the ceremony, not just the one I am currently living in. I live in Tower Hamlets in London but was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for what council would be the best for the ceremony in terms of timelines/responsiven...

Thanks! I wasn’t sure as nowadays it seems that they try to get you for anything under the good character requirement

Hi guys I’ll be applying for naturalisation in a few months. At the moment I am living at an address that is just outside my GP’s catchment area. I’ve registered with them when I was at my old address. I have not changed GP because the ones in my area (which is very close to the GP I’m currently wit...

Thanks! Makes sense

Thanks for the reply! The name is a weird coincidence!! Ahah
What you said makes sense. But I guess if they were to visit me physically in the UK at any point before June 2021 and then apply they could get it..? But there is the risk that the response might not come in time, right?

I have settled status. My parents visited me in the UK for a few days in the past few years, last time in Oct 2019, my sister as well for like a week in August 2018. They are outside the UK now (citizens of a EU country). Would they be able to apply for presettled status from outside the UK through ...

Thanks!

Hello, I will apply for naturalisation in around 3 months (EEA citizen arrived in the UK in April 2015). I have a few questions: 1) Do you think I can start the online form now, complete it gradually over the next few months and then submit it when the time arrives? Or is there an expiration to the ...
