Hi

i have a certificate of registration based on 6 years residency.

do i need to complete section 4 on the passport application form?

Thanks!

no need to mention anything.

your 1st conviction is spent after 5 years.

don't worry, my baby's eyes were closed, as was sleeping when his photo was taken.

the average waiting time is 3 months, so you should get an answer from them by the end of the month.

you will need the full birth certificate of your child showing the parent's names AND your passport showing your ILR stamp.

good for you irubix !

Your “good character” will come into question. 5 years is a long time to breach immigration rules. Were you deported or left on your own accord?

How many days have you over-stayed?

yes, that would help.

why not?

Their aim to finalise 95% of applications within 6 months. Your application seems to part of the remaining 5%.

May I ask under which section is your applying for naturalisation?

Its purely and identity interview so relax, you should pass all the questions as they relate to you and you alone.

Hi

for those parents about to apply for ILR via the postal service and expecting a baby, best to do the same day premium service as this will save you lots of headache as your child will be born british.

not that i am aware of.

Yes, that worked for me too when i applied 2 weeks ago and NCS was happy.

Best of luck.

yes mine looks similar

ILR holders have access to plublic funds and furthermore have no bearing on your BC application in the future.

Take care and all the best.

yes, the names are the same and switched around, but in effect are legally different.

Like you, I am a South African as well and I chose to retain my S.A. citizenship. You just never know what a country will be like in 20 -30 years time. The whole process for me in applying for permission went smooth. I did it 7 months before actually applying for BC. If you choose to loose your S.A....

you will need to have your name legally changed first.

Apologies, i misunderstood the post altogether! lol
