Hi, I'm trying to bring my mother's sister for a short holiday. When i read the gov.uk web site an aunt doesn't fall in to family visa category. But in previous discussion forums it mentions that an aunt or an uncle qualifies under family visitor rule. Can someone confirm if this is not valid now? A...

I got the form from a check and send passport office. you can check the branches that offer this service.

Hi, According to the supporting documents on the last page of the Form AN, it needs spouse's british passport/birth certificate and marriage cirtificate. However on Form AN guide lines, supporting documents required it mentions that either british passport/naturalisation certificate/birth certificat...

I'm also thinking of dropping my two first names and keep only the third name as first name. Having difficulty as the name is too long. Does it need a deed poll to drop a first name? I guess i can use the shortened name in the passport application and give the full name in section 8?

Hi,
My wife is going to apply for BC based on 3 years as a spouse of british citizen. In form AN question 1.17 asks for the past five years addresses. For spouse do we need to give addresses back in the home country also? She has been in the UK for less than five years.

Thank You

But in the application it asks if I had more than one PCN so doesnt it mean they have a way of checking?

Hi, I applied for BC in first week of June and got two PCN for parking without permit end of June. I received the PCNs now. Actually found out someone is cloning my car reg plates so contacted police and insurer. Currently waiting for the crime ref number to inform councils to make representation ag...

Another thing. I used our hr director as professional referee. He put the company address and company phone number. Is that ok?

in the guidance notes it says " All date formats should be dd-mm-yyyy" format. What the referee did is dd-mm-yy format. So just want to make sure this wont cause any issues.

Hi,
Im applying through the NCS in weeks time and just noticed that one referee has put the date as 29-05-12. I read in the guide that date format should be dd-mm-yyyy. Do you think i should get it corrected? Someone told that these are going to be scanned so need correct format.

thanks

Can someone let me know what should the referees say for the question "State how you know the applicant?"
For the professional referee can it be " I know the aplicant as a friend"?

Thanks.

Thanks Friendinneed. Actually his designation is vice president of a uk branch. I mentioned manager because it is management grade. Hope that will be ok. Also should he mention vat no and company address also? He knows me for about 20 yrs but is in uk on work permit for 4 urs. Should he say he knows...

Can someone who has already applied explain what is needed?

Many thanks.

Hi, Can someone explain what should the referees note down on the relevant page? 1. Does the professional referee give the company address or the home address? 2. I'm going to ask a manager of a limited company to sign as professional referee. Should he mention the company name and VAT number? 3. Pr...

Unfortunately no. I'm well within the allowance so is it safer to give one day earlier as the day i left UK? Some times this may not be the case so will it be considered as incorrect data?

Hi, I dont have have a entry in my passport everytime when I left UK but I have the landing seal when I reached other country. Now it is difficult to remember if i left UK on the same day as the landing entry because some of the flights were over 10hrs and I may have left day before. What would you ...

Hi,
I'm eligible to apply for BC in May. I got a FPN of £120 for entering a restricted road for cars and motor cycles which I paid £60 within 14 days as adviced. This was a year before and should I mention it in the aplication? I dont have the letter or remeber the exact dates even.

Many Thanks

Thanks for the info. So I guess if I provide a deed pol for the name change with the application they will accept it?

I called the nationality contact center regarding the same and the lady who answered said I need to apply first and once it goes through my wife can apply. But I'm going to call again and check again.

Hi,
I'm planning to apply for naturalisation in two months and want to remove part of my name by deed poll. If I get the deed poll just before the application can I use the new name on the application and send a copy of the deed poll UKBA?

Apreciate any advice.

Thanks. Is there any place I can get it confirmed. Will UKBA respond to questions regarding citizenship?
