Updated VFS document checklist says "Recent Employment Letter or latest Pay slip/Student ID/Self- assessment from HMRC, if own business" I am planning to submit payslip. Has anyone had experience doing this? 2. I ...

Hi again,
Should previous (expired) passports be uploaded as proof of entry stamps to show immigration history?

I have progressed filling the applications but have a few more points I am looking for help on 1. Can the same 2 referees be used for the family? (parents and children). In my case, all of us got the ILR at the same time and hence applying for naturalisation together. 2. Does the criteria of being ...

Thank you

I am submitting an application for naturalisation and there is a question about previous immigration applications to the UK. I have an ILR through the 5 year route and held another work visa before that which does not count towards ILR. Do I have to submit details of all previous immigration ...

Thank you zimba.

After 3 months wait with absolutely no communication from UKVI, I finally received ILR.

Thanks CR001. Yes, I have been checking junkmail/spam folders too.

I had called the UKVI support yesterday but they said any escalation is possible only after 15 working days.

I have made my priority service application with biometrics done on 05/Dec (Set O Skilled Worker + 2 dependants) and all I have received so far is an email from UKVCAS on 5/Dec that the supporting documents have been submitted and that any further update will be from the home office. I have not ...

Thank you zimba

Hi All, Probably previously asked but couldn't find a post. The application asks for "All previous passports, travel documents or national identity cards that Mr.xxx has used to travel to or remain in the UK" Do I submit all passports ever used to travel to the UK or only those for the qualifying ...

Thanks lolo2

Hello members, The question in the application is: Which countries did you visit or travel through when absent from the UK and Crown Dependencies? Do we have to mention the transit countries? For e.g. My final destination is country A but I have to take a connecting flight through country B. Should ...
