To follow up on our discussion, I can confirm my family members citizenship application approval is now out. 1.5 months of processing and no questions asked.

Thank you for the feedback. Could you please point to the paragraph in the AN booklet where it states that (with section name, or page number) - so we can direct applicants who have a similar query? Of course. It's this one. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/form-an-guidance Page 19. I'll ...

Thanks a lot for your reply. You put it down perfectly which was exactly my confusion. Have used it for visa application which led to ILR but as far as I remember while applying for ILR skilled worker route, there was no question about English language ( obviously because they know it was used ...

My family members application hasn't come back yet. They only applied in early September. Hopefully expecting to see something in a couple of weeks. However, a friend in the same shoes applied in August and already recieved approval of their citizenship application. They're in the same exact shoes ...

Essentially, you are advising the majority of applicants who were granted ILR through a skilled visa route to do an exam. That is at least thousands of people every month. Because the ILR application through skilled worker no longer has a prompt for you to present evidence of language skills. You ...

This is not the issue from my understanding. The issue is that ILR applicants under skilled worker like me are not being required to present evidence of meeting English language requirements anymore. For example, look at this very thread. You recommended that the applicant should do their language ...

However, it’s unclear for naturalisation. I have also read your posts about this. The English requirements for ILR applicants under skilled worker still apply. I don't think they "excluded" english language requirements for the main applicant for ILR under skilled worker visa. The requirements are r ...

However, it’s unclear for naturalisation. Hi Vinny, You seem to be be knowledgeable in this issue of language requirements for naturalisation for those who were granted ILR via the skilled worker route. The skilled worker ILR application does not even ask you to confirm you meet English r ...

This question if answered with a Yes invites you to record the details of every single UK immigration application you have made. It asks for the following information each time you add an application. Name in which you made the application Date of application, if known Enter your reference number if ...

Interesting. It does say that discretion can be exercised if you apply up to 9 days (less than 10 days) early. The ILR delay point is interesting and can be quite useful for some people. But it says discretion "can" be exercised rather than "must" :) The copy pasted text has lost formatting in the ...

Hi, Probably this was asked before, I am sorry if that is the case. My baby's MN1 application is in progress and we are waiting for the decision. My wife needs to visit her home country for health reasons and planning to take the baby with her. I will stay in the UK during this period and was ...

BRP card must me returned within 5 days of attending British citizenship ceremony otherwise you can end up paying £1000 fine. I have paid this fine 3 weeks ago for not following rule hence please be careful. Could you please copy and paste the wording of the fine? It should be easy if this was sent ...

Hi Guys, Here is an update - I got an offer for a job similar to the one I was working and a lead role and with a 30% hike, the firm who gave me the job is suggesting I apply for my ILR, with my current firm details of their SOC and stuff, stating I am serving my notice period until mid-August and ...

An update for anybody who stumbles upon this via a Google search. It is my fault I pushed for the sponsoring body to contact the home office and find out before trying out the application myself. They appear to have kindly done so and fed this back to us. Basically, there is a question in the ...

My wife's CoS was issued for longer than 3 years by mistake (she does not need the 3 years as will be eligible for ILR in a year). The longer CoS duration will attract higher application fees (double). The sponsoring institution would now like to correct this by adding a sponsor note. This obviously ...

For me, it is an oversight. The team that has done the application form and specific rules regarding the English exams has made errors. https://www.gov.uk/english-language/approved-english-language-qualifications According to this, I could have used my B1 qualification from 2017 in my ILR ...

Another question please. During my ILR application - I was asked this question: Have you previously been granted leave to remain under Tier 2 (General) as a doctor, dentist, nurse or midwife, and passed an English Language assessment accepted by the relevant regulated professional body as a ...

Just filled out my form AN online and double checked it. It does ask one about pretty much everything. However, there is nothing in it that asks about whether you have any children. Have I missed something? My child was born here and was subsequently registered as a British citizen when I got my ILR ...

After a year of having ILR, I know I will become eligible to apply for consideration of naturalization via form AN (I have less than 10 months left). My child was born in the UK last year, prior to me getting settled status. He is eligible for registration using MN1 now that I have my ILR. My ...

Hi, my application for ILR has been successful today. I am working on the MN1 application for my UK born infant now that one of the parents is settled (myself). I think the nursery will certainly provide the required references. We are on very good terms with them and all the staff. However, I feel ...

To give you a bit of an update. My current sponsor letter did not contain a detailed absence history and only said that they were "not aware of any unauthorized leave" and that I was on sick leave and stated the date the leave started and said that the leave was "pay affecting". They included my ...

Hi, I am about to submit my application. The application form is out of date. It does ask you whether you are on paternity or maternity leave (for salary purposes I am sure). However, that specific bit does not include sick leave so i answered no. Although I am pretty sure its just an outdated ...
