Is there something like a checklist of things I should do after naturalisation? So far I have this: Get on the electoral register Get a provisional driving licence (BRP is gone so need a new ID card) For those who need to report it to the country of their first citizenship - report it Do I need to t...

Oops…. Not familiar with the official observations but they have a specific policy on this https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/observations-in-passports/observations-in-passports-accessible The observation are not specifically part of the personal data. Informational only. I can imagine a cu...

Yes

Lesson learned - never ask more than one question in a single post

Raise the matter with HMPO and get the required corrections done.

I am travelling in 10 days. Is this likely to mess up my plans?

Also how do I get in touch with them? Is this the right form to fill out?

Have just received my First Adult passport after Naturalisation. Observation page says: The holder has a Russian passport, number XXXX issued on XX/XX/2016 in the name of <FIRST NAME> <PATRONYMIC> <LAST NAME>. This passport is due to expire on XX/XX/2016. The passport office managed to make not one ...

Parents clearly hold Russian nationality so you could say YES and explain Israeli nationality separately if you can as part of the form, or attach a covering note explaining this aspect. Not an issue. The purpose of the question is to ascertain whether an applicant may be British already through th...

Hey, so I've just reached the point in my application where I'm being asked about parents nationality, and I am confused. Both my parents: Were born in the USSR Hold Russian citizenship Hold Israeli citizenship since 2022 The form asks three questions: Country of birth - that's USSR Country of natio...

Just to clarify, one of the reasons I started this topic is that the FAQ says I should be in the UK on the application date. I am trying to understand if it's okay to leave the UK in the middle of the application date, or that's not allowed

Hi everyone, I'm approaching 1 year on ILR and would like to clarify a few questions around dates before applying for citizenship. My situation is: Received ILR on 22-11-2021 (approval email came in around 14:00). Spent 85 days outside the UK since then (assuming I'm counting them correctly - see be...

I've seen a pretty good explanation here, unfortunately it seems to be not as easy as that: Third party solicitor weblink removed by moderator Following from the information above, common sense would dictate that an absence of less than 2 years would allow a person to keep their ILR and return to th...

Like some people on this forum, I have received the following instructions as part of my ILR approval email: Registering with the police If you previously had to register with the police, once you are granted indefinite leave to remain you no longer need to do this. You should return your police reg...

Applied for ILR Route: Tier 2 General (5 year route, SET(O)) Type of application: Super Priority Date application sent: 14/11/2021 (UK Visa Vignette "Date from" date + 5 years - 28 days) Date Biometrics Enrolled: 22/11/2021 9:00 (Mark Lane, earliest available - still had to pay £199) Approval Email ...

So how did all those people from the ILR TIMELINES thread manage to get appointments 1-2 days after submitting their application?? Just submitted mine and the first one available at the premium lounge (London Mark Lane) is on Nov 22 (but you still have to pay £199 for an appointment that is 8 days a...

PLease do NOT start new posts and stick to this thread for your ILR

Thanks a lot Zimba and sorry for that, thought of sticking to the original thread but then decided to start a new one because it is a different sort of issue.

Okay so this is the most hilarious issue I never thought I would face while applying for ILR, but here we go. I have been with Barclays for 6 years and they never missed a single monthly statement - it would have always been generated by the 5th of the next month. This time, however, I have not rece...

NO need to declare the first gap. It will count but no need to declare Thanks very much, really appreciated. One more question if you don't mind: back in 2016, I passed IELTS for UKVI (IELTS Academic that has a UKVI reference number on it). I can see that: 1. "IELTS for UKVI" is still on the approv...

I've been in the UK on Tier 2 (General) for almost 5 years now. The vignette "valid from" date is 12 December 2016 and I first entered the UK on 17 December 2016. As discussed many times on this forum, the first date I can apply is (12 December 2016 + 5 years - 28 days), as the period between 12 and...

1. No sooner than within 28 days before the 5th anniversary of your initial entry clearance visa start date. Thanks very much. So it is 2016-12-12 in my case, right? Funnily enough, I was just reading this thread where the advice from CULLINAN (guru) / Zimba (mod) was to use the BRP date if it's ea...

I know this topic has been discussed here a few times before, but I thought I'd still ask again for my own piece of mind / in case something changed recently. Here is my timeline: 2016-11-30: Received an email saying "A decision has been made on your UK Visa application" 2016-12-12: This is the "Val...
