Can anyone please clarify from when this has been the case? I got my citizenship in October of this year and haven't heard anything regarding this until this post.

If I pay the application fee by credit card, will they charge me for payment by credit card.

Thanks.

Yes. They will charge whatever card details you supply.

The referee needs to have known you for at least three years so he would not qualify for that reason.

Hi all,

Can we send the fingerprint deletion letter request after the citizenship ceremony but before a new passport has been issued?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to fill out my passport application. On the guidance it it says that on the extra information section details need to be given about the applicants grandparents if the applicants parents were born abroad. Does this apply to me if I naturalized through marriage to a British ci...

Thanks for your response.I haven't received the invitation letter so have just been googling what the different councils seem to say on their websites. I'm glad no ID is needed

Hi guys, I know you need to provide ID when you go to the citizenship ceremony. Would my old BIometric residence permit (ILR) count as suitable ID? I'm trying to renew my US passport to change my name to married name ASAP and would like to send it off now but I have no date for the ceremony yet. I w...

Hi guys, Is it okay to use a lecturer as a referee? It says that it needs to be a friend, neighbour, colleague etc... I email my lecturer occasionally and graduated over two years ago. I'm just not sure if that's suitable. Thanks! My wife successfully used a college lecturer (ESOL tutor) as a refer...

Thanks!

Hi guys, I've got my approval today. I sent off my application on April 20th. It was received on April 21st. My payment was taken on the 17th of May. My biometrics were submitted on the 19th of May. My citizenship approval letter stated that my naturalisation certificate will be issued in my married...

Thanks for your help guys. Do you suggest I get everything in my maiden name to speed up the process, then changing everything after I've traveled?

Hi guys, I see that many people are having trouble getting a British passport in their married names. I would like to travel in the next few months and since my naturalisation application is still being decided I won't be able to change the name on my U.S. passport first. Is it possible to just app...

You will need the life in the UK test certificate.

Try to be patient. In the next few weeks they will probably start w...

Are you not employed? Ideally, you should request the bank to send statements. Though, certified print outs ought to suffice. Nope DH and I are both living off of savings (both MSc students at the moment). Some savings are in the savings account and about £6k in the one that I have statements for. ...

Hi guys, Just a few quick questions: 1) I need to show evidence of savings but my savings account is an online one. I've tried to get the bank to sign and stamp print-outs but they have refused. They said they can print out a copy for me or send me statements in the post. Are either of these options...

No, being married would not help secure a visa more than being his fiancee would.

So you're asking for advice about a sham marriage on a forum that deals with genuine families that have had to be apart because of following the rules?

A bit stupid don't you think?

Yes it's free.

If that's all you have and nothing in your name, that's not enough evidence. Your application may not succeed in which case she'd have to apply for flr(m) and then apply for ILR when 2years worth of evidence is gathered.

The answer is 'yes'. If you have no proof then you can just explain why.

Did you read the link vinny provided?

Answer truthfully on the application.

Schools and GP surgeries are not well versed in immigration rules. They are also not required to be. You are expected to know the rules and follow them and being ignorant is no excuse.

As Luca said above, we need the actual refusal statement.

Why did she deny that you financially help her? That could be construed as deception.
