Hi All,

Is it required to submit the original current indian passport along with the passport application (first adult) after naturalisation?

Thanks

Hi All, Just wanted to update my wife's citizenship timeline Eligibility criteria: HSMP + Tier1 + 1 Year ILR + Spouse Language criteria met: Trinity college test for english language Method of application: NCS Wandsworth Date of application: 06/06/2014 Payment method: CC Date of receipt by UKBA: 10/...

Don't think this should be a problem. Colleagues can know you personally.

Just make sure that other conditions about the referees are met.

Thanks CR001

Q1 Will not apply on 11 or 12 jun to be safe
Q2 WIll share the passport with NCS
Q3 The marriage certificate is laminated (not naturalisation). Will remove it.

Thanks

Hi All, Q1 My wife is applying for her BC as spouse and I wanted to see if the following would count as absence from UK 3 years ago. She traveled to Norway on the 11th of Jun 2011 and returned on 12th Jun 2012. In effect on both days she was in UK once while travelling. Will this be considered as 't...

Hi,

Does the spouse also have to give B1 level exam or can the spouse give A2 level exam of Trinity?

Hi, Wanted to confirm my understanding of spouse visa. 1. If the spouse is from non-EU and has a naturalisation certifcate (but no passport) then the naturalisation certificate is sufficient to apply for spouse visa 2. If language requirement via education are no longer valid on pbs calculator, trin...

There is no standard home office guideline on payment processing timelines and delays due to payment error.

Going by Feb and Mar naturalisation applications max time they are taking to debit accounts is 1-2 weeks. I expect it should remain same in your case now.

I think kudos to you for trying to deal with the situation of being in a dual nationality situation. I am an Indian and on the path of citizenship but unhappy somewhere as my blue passport will have to be surrendered. I envy Pakistani citizens as well as those of other countries where you can keep d...

I have seen one such case with a success. Look for Feb 2014 - Naturalisation Application Timeline pg 9.

Just to give you guys an update - yes I was a bit pissed (and still am) about the Knoll requirements being changed retrospectively (although I saw some staunch defense of that) there isn't much i can do in the immediate time. Hence I called up NARIC. They asked for my uni transcripts and degree cert...

Does this help?

If your husband gets his citizenship then you can apply as spouse of BC as long as you have been here for at least last 3 years. There is no need to wait for 5+1 in your case.

Yes your first entry will still be 2004.

I would wait for another forum member to advise on your travel proof. The other option is that you can call or write to ukba and seek their advice as you still have a lot of time to apply

You would definitely need to tick on director. Did you also during this time act as being self employed? This will depend on the tax scheme that you are working on - is it a trust or something of that sort? If yes then tick this option also. The hmrc self assessment is the tax information that a ind...

Thanks for your reply. I am a bit puzzled on how the home office can retrospectively change the law for people who came in on HSMP (I came in 2008) and who had presented university paper saying medium of instruction was English. This piece of paper was recognized by the same agencies back then. Do y...

Hi All, I got ILR in feb 2013 and am due to apply for naturalisation this month. While applying for HSMP I had shown India University certificate showing that my instruction medium was English. I also have a certificate of the life in uk test. Do I need to give another exam for language? Do I need t...

Hi All, Can someone help please. I have tried to find answers in the faqs and other posts but it would be worthwhile if someone can help with below: 1.

Hi Guys, I tried to read through the forum but couldn't find an exact answer for my situation. Please advise. I will be eligible for naturalisation application after 7 feb. I plan to travel to India between 21 feb and 12 mar. My questions are: 1. Can I travel using Indian passport if I use check ser...

Hi Guys, I did post earlier about a red light jump that I think I got flashed on while going to wembley. The thing is that I haven't received a letter from anyone but my royal mail chappie told me that in the recent past a lot of letters for my flat have got displaced. Is there any way from DVLA or ...

Hi All,

I have a ILR and recently I was caught jumping a red light by a camera. I still haven't got the details of the action DVLA is going to take but I am concerned about its effect.

Will this restrict me from applying for citizenship?

Regards,

Hi Guys, I have tried to go through the forums to get some self help but everyone's circumstances seem to be different. My question is: I and wife are on ILR and we are expecting our first child. Can my wife claim all of the following (depending on obviously income and other circumstances) without a...
