Re: Naturalisation ceremony: is home office atlas email needed?

You return the brp cards after your ceremony. You should have received the details of what to in your ceremony pack. Nope. In the pack, there is a letter from Priti without much substance in it, a guidance on getting a passport, and info on care about the certificate dual citizenship. Nothing about...

Re: Naturalisation ceremony: is home office atlas email needed?

One side effect of this is that we were never asked to return the BRPs. Not sure if I should do it and how.

Yeah we received invitations from the council on a Monday morning as well, as if they replaced the HO letter. Our ceremony is scheduled for next Monday; I’ll post here with the result. I hope they ask for that letter only to check the application number that I can find elsewhere, but we’ll see. No ...

Naturalisation ceremony: is home office atlas email needed?

Hello, I received an invitation from my council (Islington) to book a ceremony on Monday. However, there has been no home.office.atlas email (3 days later now). The council asks to bring that email to the ceremony. Is it common to not have received the home office email? Can it cause a problem at th...

My wife and I applied on 10 March. She has also received the survey link on 6 May too. I did not (but I have already filled that form in March). Let’s see.

Re: Tricks for booking an urgent passport appointment

Why not phone HMPO and ask?? They are very helpful. I contacted their support via a web chat, and they did not give me any information about finding slots. They only suggested to refresh the page, which I did frantically, and managed to find a suitable slot. These are my speculations: they release ...

Re: Tricks for booking an urgent passport appointment

Apparently, the earlier slots become available. Does anyone know if, after booking, I will be able to reschedule to an *earlier* date in a different city? Thanks.

Re: Tricks for booking an urgent passport appointment

You will receive a registration certificate (adults are naturalised). Indeed, thanks for the correction. If I understand correctly, for the first child passport, the online premium service is not available. When I try to book the fast-track 1 week service, here is the availability: https://doc-04-a...

Tricks for booking an urgent passport appointment

Hello, this forum has been very helpful in guiding our MN1 application, in particular in tricks for booking an appointment, thanks! We are about to receive a naturalisation certificate for a child and will have to return the ILR BRP, however we have to travel in August. The 1-week appointments in En...

Re: Travel on ILR while applying for citizenship

You're not a British citizen until you attend the ceremony. She can use the ILR up to that point. The only period which she can't travel is after her ceremony, but before receiving her passport. There is no ceremony for a child registering on MN1!! Yes indeed. Kids probably are citizens once they r...

Re: Travel on ILR while applying for citizenship

Thanks for your reply! That makes sense, however... Now that I think of it: what if they send the certificate while we are abroad? So on return, she will be a citizen without a passport but with an invalid ILR. Another question: what if we receive the certificate before the planned travel but no tim...

Travel on ILR while applying for citizenship

My daughter received ILR and now has MN1 application in process (submitted biometrics, waiting for decision, was not asked to return the BRP card). Can she use her ILR to re-enter the country? This seems like a no-brainer but in a similar situation, when applying for ILR, a Tier 2 visa is apparently...

Also, booking slots will be released 12AM GMT or 1AM BST. Manage accordingly. You are my hero Cullinan, thanks a bunch! Just managed to snatch an appointment for “only” £71 in Victoria. Is it some sort of hazing that in order to naturalise, one has to stay up until 1 a.m. And the promise of free ap...
