I am in the process of applying for the passport, I've already been naturalised. In the documents I need to send, it says "Passport you entered the UK with", what does this mean? Because I have 2 previous expired passports. Do I need to send all my expired and current passports or just the first pas...

shame about the timeline thread, was quite useful to track everyone's progress...

meanwhile, for me, 3rd month waiting anniversary tomorrow!

3rd month since application anniversary this week!

One reason why my application might be taking so long is that I have been living in UK for over 12 years, but I've only been a legal adult for 1.5 years! Surely not much to 'check'? Bluto (applied on 2nd Feb) iereboy (applied on 8th Feb) kam348 (applied on 10th Feb) chipmunk1 (applied on 14th Feb) P...

anyone still waiting from the February pool?

I applied on 16 Feb and still waiting. I have to go abroad for 2 months. If I am correct, I have 90 days to attend a ceremony when the invitation letter arrives. Does that mean if the invitation letter arrives whilst I am away, it should still be OK? See similar question - here . Thanks! All good t...

just wondering, do the UKBA have an official policy of non-disclosing information on the status of applicants under 6 months?

I wonder if ordering a SAR file from UKBA whilst your naturalisation application is being considered will give any insights on their methods....

I am a British Citizen born and bred however my husband has applied for his naturalisation and I am actually quite amazed at the way they seem to process applications, it does not appear to be in a specific order such as being dealt with from date recieved. I also work for a government department s...

So how does that statement relate to the fact that you cannot carry your foreign passport with you, but use your native passport? I know of a few countries which allow dual citizenship as long as you do not use your foreign passport to enter the country (e.g. in your case, if this is the same, the ...

which country are you referring to here? can you post the link? e.g. India also doesn't recognise dual citizenship and one needs to surrender the passport once foreign citizenship is acquired otherwise it's an offence under indian law. As you can't read my language, there won't be any point but I h...

I can keep 2 passports as long as I don't take advantage of or make use of or try to enter my country with the UK passport. This advice is coming from the embassy website. So I need to leave my UK passport behind when I travel. The ILR isn't cancelled and nor is my passport as contrary to what some ...

I am just wondering if I will be able to still use my ILR on my native passport to enter the UK even if I have a UK citizenship. thanks Why would you want to do that? Why would you not enter UK using British Passport if you have it? If the question is also partly about retaining your previous passp...

Hi,

I know if I use NCS then I can keep my current passport but does it also mean I can travel on it whilst my British Citizenship application is being considered?

thanks

Hi, Section 3 of the AN form (Good character), asks for occupation and employer and tax reference. Although I have ILR, I am studying. So what should I tick for 3.2 and what should I put down for 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5? I have never paid taxes or NI contributions because I have always studied. (I am only ...

Hi, I know that to qualify, you must not leave the UK for more than 90 days in the 12 months leading up to the application. I would like to know how they count days absent. for example, 7th August to 14th August - is that 6, 7 or 8 days? (i.e. do they count travel days or not?) or 22nd June 2011 to ...
