Re: Retention of South African Citizenship from within the UK

Hi, I just received my application back, where the embassy has only stamped my documents with no further correspondence in terms of when my retention certificate will be issued. Is this the norm? I don't think so. I just got the letter saying I was able to obtain British Citizenship. I did not rece...

Re: Retention of South African Citizenship from within the UK

I also note you didn't send your valid passport, you just sent copies is that correct?

Re: Retention of South African Citizenship from within the UK

Firstly, this whole process may no longer be required. The SA Supreme Court of Appeal ruled in June that automatic loss of citizenship is unconstitutional ( polity.org.za/article/sca-strikes-down-piece-of-legislation-that-led-to-automatic-loss-of-sa-citizenship-2023-06-13 ). You should probably rev...

Re: Retention of South African Citizenship from within the UK

Thanks. I will have a look and see if I can find anything online. I saw that this decision has been made, but I have read that it will take time for the Constitutional Court to confirm. and some websites are still advising to get the permission

Re: Retention of South African Citizenship from within the UK

I received my application from SAHC today with the helpful information that (contrary to their website) they no longer accept postal orders for payment. They now only accept bank transfers to: Bank: Nedbank Private Wealth Name: South African High Commission Account Number: 93274091 Sort Code: 16-57...

Re: BRP Renewal documents question

Awesome thanks, would love an update of how your appointment goes. Good luck with it I had been to my appointment today and nothing much asked really as UKVCAS only take the biometrics and submit the application.. Just checked that the mandatory docs are uploaded, took the biometrics and submitted ...

Re: BRP Renewal documents question

I don't think i have a Ron 60 letter either.. or it is the letter with text stating BRP will be sent in 7 days (with home office reference number/case id etc).. I'm attaching this anyway to the uploads.. BRP is the only "original doc" that shows "SETTLEMENT", and my interpretati...

Re: BRP Renewal documents question

Thanks, it makes it seem like they are all seperate documents, but if a document can check multiple items off than thats great, it would be great if that was more clear.

Re: ILR BRP RC renewal application 6months query

Hi, I'm applying for ILR BRP-RC renewal and i was thinking i was on the correct application, but the application seems to ask if i have been outside UK for more than 6months? Surely on ILR outside UK up-to 2 years isn't an issue, so a bit lost if i am on the correct application now.. The fee says £...

As I know you are doing the same thing as me at the moment. I was hoping you may be able to provide some light on my question about the documents?

Re: BRP Renewal documents question

Thanks, it just seems a bit confusing as they also ask for that and it is 2 seperate bullets on the checklist form, I have my current BRP which I can provide, the check list makes the vignette/RON60 seem like something different. These applications always stress me out that I may be missing somethin...
