Yes, I did. They told me that the processing time to receive the certificate is about 2 months.

As someone mentioned in the post, we can't always rely on the words or emails from officials, because it seems like many Indian officials aren't entirely clear on the rules and they go with their assumptions. If you take a look at the link below, you'll find the official definition of citizenship. h...

Looks like that is true as per section 8 of the India Citizenship Act. This is really mad 8. Renunciation of citizenship.―(1) If any citizen of India of full age and capacity, 1 ***, makes in the prescribed manner a declaration renouncing his Indian Citizenship, the declaration shall be registered b...

Hi,

I got my ILR on 14th Feb 2022. Can I apply in 28 days before 14th Feb 2023 for my BC application process?

I saw a similar query posted back in 2013, so just enquiring again to see if something has been changed by now.

Thanks

Hi Silver75,

Hi Silver75, Thanks for the reply. Letter issued by UKVI 5 years ago really, I don't remember keeping any of those documents.
