Hoping someone can answer my question: Partner just arrived in UK on EUSS Family Permit and is now applying for pre-settled status by post (I am both EU and naturalised UK citizen so this is a Lounes case). I was surprised to see nothing on the application form relating to applicant-sponsor relation...
Given very few have shared their EUSS Family Permit timeline on here I thought I'd post this as people might find it useful particularly if you're applying for an EUSS Family Permit or waiting to hear back from UKVI. Application type: EUSS Family Permit - durable partner Application date: 01.07.2022...
The deadline for EUSS applications was 30 June 2021. However, later applications can be accepted if there are ‘reasonable grounds’ for not applying by 30 June 2021 The delay in obtaining the necessary proof of citizenship documents, which was outside his control, probably constitutes "reasonable gr...
HI everyone I have applied for citizenship 3 months ago i was on Tier 1 visa . My wife and 4 children are on refugee status and they have all been living here for 7 years they were previously my dependents on teir 1 and then they left my visa and were granted refugee status. A solicitor wants to ap...
Any reason you can't re-declare it to 30 Sept 2016 when you were physically present in the UK? Thank you for your kind reply, I honestly do not see any inquiry in the email. Can you please share hoo did you come to the conclusion that they are asking for declaration? As pointed out by craw19, if yo...
Hello kind members, I received this email from HO-today notifying me about the qualifying time at the start of the 5 years where I have submitted the application 5 days before the completion of 5 years, without them proposing an option to move forward with. Your application was received in the Home...
Dear learned friends, Quick query. Wife can apply for naturalisation. We are in process of buying house well over 400 miles from where we currently live. It is entirely possible, if not probable given quick scan of timelines, that if she applied soon then we would move during the processing of the ...
I wonder if you could help, please ? I was approved for British Citizenship on 28 November 2021. I was then given three different deadlines by which to attend a ceremony 15 Feb (according to the council) ; 28 Feb (3 months after the email) or 6 months as specified on the government website as of 28...
Why he wasn't an EU national at the time is irrelevant and in all likelihood, given he's been in the UK on a visa/as a non-EU national, UKVI will ask him to provide evidence of citizenship prior to Dec 2020. Now, I don't know, but from a purely legal point of view Croatia may have always regarded h...
Thanks for answers! To answer questions: 1. He is still not a Croat citizen. His application is still pending. 2. If it is not too late once he receive the Croat citizenship (probably early next year), could he make a case that reason for delay is that he was waiting for citizenship? To benefit fro...
It does not look like HO follows any logic while assigning case workers. Their queuing system is obviously broken and flawed. I applied early October and already seeing mid October and later cases being approved whilst no news on mine. So trying to make sense out of broken HO system is just going t...
Good morning All Just want to confirm with members about supporting documents return from passport office, I have paid £5 extra when I applied for my wife’s passport to be delivered by signed for delivery. Will these documents will be delivered by Royal Mail or TNT. As I have heard that these will ...
Hmmm. Yes, we called earlier in the week and they said that it was taking up to three weeks. Quite something if it turns out that the return of the documents could end up being the slowest part of the whole process! Also makes you wonder what would happen if you needed the documents urgently during...
In a similar situation and just saw this piece of news https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59409509 Does anyone know if it would be possible to call HMPO and get them to send the documents by Royal Mail for those of us who selected "secure delivery"? Worth a try but I doubt it. Am in the same boat ...
Today i got default reply from Ho We aim to process all applications within 6 months from the date submitted. However, in certain circumstances this target is not possible. Following our assessment of your case, unfortunately it appears your application will not be processed within the 6 month targ...
Hello, I am a EU citizen and I have just had my citizenship cermony. Now I am applying to my first British passport and will be send my EU passport and naturalisation certificate to the Home Office. I need to go to my home country in EU for a few weeks. Will I be able to travel with my EU identity ...
Hi, I've received my first British passport more than 3 weeks ago, but I've not heard anything about the supporting documents. Is this normal? Whenever they send the documents, will I see the update on the Application history? Thanks! According to HMPO there is currently a 'slight' delay to returni...
Hi all, Many of us have applied for naturalisation and keep an eye out for approval letter. A lot of us keep checking emails, keep refreshing inbox to see if we have something. The Home Office has not been consistent with delivery of decision where some people received a letter through the door and...
Okay, thanks. Do you think it's better to print all digital documents on a paper (my own printer) and get them (UKVCAS) to scan it? I know it sounds dumb to print digital documents, but there is a thing: they ask around £40 for "checking" the uploaded documents (by me) are correct and in the right ...
Hi, I am currently at UKCVAS stage (booked an appointment). From their Help section I found this: If you are applying through the EU Settlement Scheme you will need to scan and upload all of your supporting documents when making your application with UKVI. Please do not upload additional documents ...
I am helping my wife apply for her British Citizenship (after being in the UK for 54 year!). WE have hit a challenge and I was looking for suggestions? The required documentation/evidence for the online process includes the following item: 3) Proof of living in the UK for (Name of Applicant) If you...
Same here. Its been 15 days since I sent email. I don't think they reply for those application which are under six month process I've emailed HO last month asking for a copy of my ceremony invite, and spoke to their call centre. Their standard is to respond within 20 working days, I was told. They ...

Dear moderators, I am in need of your advise one final time. As mentioned above, in my online naturalisation application i failed to include the middle name of one of my referees (but the referee included their middle name when they signed the referee declaration form). I was informed in the above ...
