Pretty much.

They effectively said, without the changes, they can't approve the passport.

I mean to be fair she probably would have changed it eventually anyway, but it just created unnecessary delay and hassle.

Thanks.

I discussed the long saga previously on this thread. Long story short, we originally applied under my wife's maiden name (which is what her spousal visa, ILR, and naturalisation applications are under and approved!) and they didn't like that. So we had to submit a new application form, photographs a...

Thanks for the replies.

Hi all, Can someone please answer a hypothetical question? Once granted UK citizenship and a passport, is it safe to assume that the applicant can move abroad to live and work without time restrictions? They won't "lose" their citizenship after x years being abroad? What about UK passport renewal? D...

Hahaha. Very witty!

Thanks to both of you. We will carry the foreign passport, BRP and naturalisation certificate.

Hi everyone, Kind of similar question to another recent travel query, however, with a slightly different twist. My partner has been approved for her BC, but is awaiting her ceremony. Immedaitely after getting her certificate she will be applying for a passport. The problem is, I doubt very much that...

Thanks.

Please can someone help with a very urgent problem! I have a friend who is due to apply for ILR in December. Her husband is here as her dependent. Recently due to a miscommunication with her insurance company she was stopped by the police and caught without renewed car insurance. She was given 6 poi...

Thanks again samkma.

I already knew I was right, and told the advisor so.

Justed wanted to confirm it with you guys (and gals).

Thanks Jambo.

Exactly as I said and thought.

Just booked an appointment for my spouse to do her AN application and the lady asked, and insisted she was right, about whether my spouse had had her ILR for more than a year. I said this wasn't necessary so long as she has been resident for more than 3 years which she has. Her ILR(BRP) was approved...

Filling in AN form for application to naturalise as spouse of a BC. I need some guidance please. Under question 1.17 they ask for the addresses for the last 5 years. Is this really necessary considering the requirement for residency for spouse applications is only 3 years? We have been living in our...

Hahaha very funny! A witty response to a genuine concern.

Thanks for that.

Just to clarify, after this date ALL BC applicants will have to pass an English exam? Would studying with the OU not be sufficient proof of a knowledge of the English language? I need to do more research or do some serious budgeting and hopefully get my partners application in before then if not. I ...
