Sorry one more question for proof of residence the text on the application says: If you do not have your passport or it was not stamped when you entered the UK, you need to include letters (for example, from your employer or government department) as proof. Bank statements or household bills are not ...
Thank you both. Yes they've had the ILR since 2022 but was abroad to give birth to our second child. She returned to the UK Feb 2023. Just to confirm it is okay to attend the appointment in August or does that also have before 3rd August or after 3rd September? This is the last remaining citizen ...
Hello. We are applying for the naturalisation of my spouse (I am a naturalised British citizen myself). Section 2.4 of Form AN: Qualifying period 2.4 If you are the spouse or civil partner of a British citizen, you must have been in the UK on the date 3 years before making the application. Otherwise ...
Apologies, looks like my question itself is invalid. They have both been in the UK since Feb 2023, which means they have been here for more than 2 years (bar the odd few weeks holidays in EU/India). I guess that would mean we are ok they them to apply? I got confused with my wife's requirements ...
I posted about this last year here - https://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=349783&sid=08cfd4b0cfb44805e7ed098e31625b4a Got really great advice here but due to some other life (financial) matters we did not get around to applying. I still have the old application filled in etc. Looks like ...
On digging deeper, I figured that the passport we used for his ILR application has expired now and he is travelling on a (re-)new passport. I have gone ahead uploaded his new passport details which has also forced the online UKVI system to log on using his new passport (while in the past I was using ...
We have travelled back into the UK twice in last 3 months from different port of entries. In both cases my son's e-visa (ILR) didn't show on the system at the UK border control. But my wife's and my daughter's have come through the system. I can get the e-visa share codes for all three of them and I ...
The Home Office won't give you such an email - you won't be able to get through to anyone. Best you move on, get the adult referee, add a note with your application that teacher was "difficult". Thanks for the advice. I shall move on. I have email from the teacher clearly stating why she refused ...
So the GP refused to provide a reference for both children (as expected) I got a reply from child1's class teacher. They said they cannot provide a reference as the rules state they need to have know them for 3 years. Logically speaking no teacher could have known our child for 3 years as they have ...
Settled status valid or not, don't you need a passport now anyway to go through the border and return back to the UK? I enquired and original passport is a must. There is no alternative while applying for first passport within the UK. There is also no premium service available for first passport ...

Absence data is not required for children applying for registration under MN1. Thanks for confirming. I am still trying to understand what this checklist item requires: Mr XX’s (i.e. child's) parent's foreign (non-EU) passport or alternative evidence of residence Should I submit scans of my Indian p ...
I have been doing some more reading looks like we need to supply some evidence of residence? I provided last 5 years worth for my own naturalisation along with full scans of my Indian passport. Can I reuse the same for both children? My India passport is not yet surrendered as I only recently got my ...
Makes sense will ensure eVisa is sorted :) Right so going through the document checklist again... This checklist item is confusing us: Mr XX’s parent's foreign (non-EU) passport or alternative evidence of residence Not sure what this is? is this asking for my wife's passport? or my old Indian p ...
eVisa and MN1 totally unrelated/separate processes. MN1 is nationality which is not an immigration application. You have no guarantee that it will take under three months for you or your children. My application was processed in 4 months and some applications take longer than 6 months. Suggest ...
My process to getting the citizenship certificate completed in under 3 months. I am kinda hoping for the same for my children. But point taken, we shouldn't take unnecessary risks. We are planning a holiday in October half-term, so I will get the eVisa sorted by then if we have not heard back. I ...
Thank you all for the support so far, its really helped and I have pretty much completed the applications for both children. Just waiting for the school to open so I can get teacher's reference for the first child. Two questions came to mind I'd like to clear up if that's ok: 1. Does it help to, or ...
Thanks for the clarifications. My parents have plenty of friends who are doctors and some of whom have known me since I was a wee boy. I used one of them as my referee under this clause: Professions that are not accepted Your countersignatory cannot: work for HM Passport Office be a doctor, unless ...
The forms are generic and members previously reported same. Application can be made successfully without providing such details not applicable to you/applicants. Thank you for the quick response. The next bit is finding a professional referee. I guess it's best wait till school opens in September ...
I have yet another question! So I have started filling the online application and the application asks for grandparents' details. The form asks to: "Provide details of your grandparent from whom your mother or father derived British citizenship by descent." I did not get British citizenship by ...
Thanks for the extra information about the grandparents. Childcare wasn't the issue, postpartum care on the other hand.... we had learnt our lesson after the first child and what complications we might face.
Should be okay to register them under Section 3(1). Hi vinny, thank you for the short, sweet and incredibly helpful reply. One (hopefully last) follow question, under the "Child’s future intentions" it states: "the child, or one or both of their parents, has recently left the UK for a period of m ...
Hello, I recently got my British citizenship and passport. I have two children both born abroad and would like register them as British citizens. My spouse who is also the children's mother has ILR. Child 1: Age - almost 7 years In UK since Feb 2018 (i.e. travelled as soon as visa was granted). Got ...
Hello, we applied at the Greece visa centre for a Schengen tourist visa. We are a family of 4, wife and two small kids. We all currently live in the UK and we are all have ILR here. I personally work full-time but my wife and obviously kids do not work. So I am basically sponsoring all 4 of us. I ...
I think you will need to read the government website for transfer of passport visa to BRP. https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/biometric-residence-permit-replacement-service Not sure this applies in my daughter's case. Her entry clearance visa/vignette in the passport is valid for just ...
