Anyone advise appreciated

Hi All

Filling in form for my wife's naturalisation. Can I put my British Passport number as I have no clue as to where my certificate would be, I arrived in the UK in 1979 and I doubt my dad would know where to look for it?

Thanks

I meant I'm filling in the form etc

Thanks for the reply

Hi

I'm applying for my wife's naturalisation. On form it asks for my naturalisation certificate number. I arrived back in 1979 as a child and do not know where my certificate is. Can I put my passport number number and beside it write passport number?

Thanks

Hi Appreciate you replying. I was born in Pakistan in 1973. The link you provided was very useful, hadn't come across that site before.

She currently is not receiving any benefits ie JSA As she is not working or claiming JSA, does this mean she will need to pay for her medication? If she was receiving JSA then her medication would be free. Is there an op...

I thought you were not allowed to travel out of the country unless exceptional circumstances, may be I am wrong or may be the law has changed since

It depends on what level of security clearance. There is the basic security clearance which is proofing your address and previous work placements, credit checks, criminal record checks etc. Most companies make the employee go through this and including Banks. This is what is most likely what your Ba...

Thanks Andy - I have also applied for my Wife's ILR I am overdrawn but as I am employed there is always money coming in each month. I was a little afraid that looking at my Bank statement it being overdrawn might hinder the application. Your story has given me hope now that my Wife will soon get her...

I did a paper review (unknowingly) and it took 18 months and then got refused. I would advise everyone to go to a tribunal hearing that way you get to put your case in front of the judge.

Hi batleykhan

Thanks for the info - really appreciate it

Gives me something to jump start and start reading

Thanks
