Put the citizenship date (ceremony). Passport is just the travel document issued after you becoming naturalized british.

JOHN,

I agree the above documents are not necessary. May be i was anxious and was trying to provide as much as information to satisfy good character requirement (paying tax etc).

In reality very few documents required according home office tick box.

Hi John,

I agree with you my situation was different and i was director of limited company but above person is self employed.

You given the above person excellent advice hope this clarifies the matter.

If you dont do it through accountant it will make no difference to your application.

Above is just my experience i am sure there is cheaper way plz wait for seniors to reply and give there suggestions.

Also search the forum key word "self employed"

I recently got my naturalization and was in same situation becoz my accounting period ends april 2011 and i was applying for naturalization in feb 2011. My accountant prepared management accounts for the 2010-2011 period and also mentioned in his letter stating the tax period will be ending april 20...

i would suggest you go in person to nearest VFS and apply as i heard horror stories of loosing documents and delay in application process. I am 100% positive ur eligible for entry visa if you held previously indian passport.

Good luck

Assuming u still hold russian passport yes you need visa to visit UK.

Yes we are allowed to apply for visa at the same time applying for surrender certificate. Visit nearest VFS office: 1) fill up surrender certificate download from VFS website 2) Fill up online entry visa and print the application form and book appointment online. (http://in.vfsglobal.co.uk/) 3) At V...

I applied for surrender certificate on 13/04/2011 in VFS victoria and i was told it can take 15 days and currently some delays in process.

So i applied for the 6 months entry visa while applying for Surrender certificate and thinking about applying OCI in later months.

No need of driving license if you send the passport.

i think there shouldn't be any problem as long you prove that ur in laws and parents are accommodated in big enough property (rental contract or mortgage statements)

Last year I invited 5 of my relatives in two different times in 2010.

Be assured you will receive your passport before Friday!!!! Good luck

P.s Please confirm once you received your passport

Sorry i didnt read the earlier messages correctly. I got my passport after two days of interview although they told me it takes 10 days.

When was your interview conducted? I got the passport directly without any email correspondence.

If the credit agreement is not settled (default) and if it shows still active in experian or other credit agency account then i think its more likely they will ask about it. I had my passport interview on 2/4/2011 and i can confirm that interview staff were very helpful and easy going. Please just r...

Its good idea to subscribe one month free experian and all your credit arrangement will reflect on your account information. You can always cancel your subscription before the free period.

Hi Anivip, I was also in same dilemma as you about CCJ and Bad Credit although i have subscribed for experian which clearly said no CCJ or bad credit in my history. I was tempted to check Trustonline by paying (£16) which i did and got confirmation that they have "no record" Its my suggestion dont ...

Previously i was on work permit and later got Permanent Residency and started my own business and got Naturalization in march 2011. I dont think there will be any problem if you read carefully having job is not a criteria for granting Naturalization. How ever i would suggest to keep your tax affairs...

Thats my assumption and also i can understand your anxiety becoz i went through the same phase and this forum helped me to get through. Good luck hope you get your approv...

I am also in the same situation and in process of applying for OCI for me and my wife. In the previous posted by one of member i read that if the family application is made then there is no need to take wife and children. I would still like to get confirmation on these from senior members if i am ri...

FerrariLondon I can understand your anxiety i also applied for naturalization in 1/03/11 through postal and got the decision on 18/03/11. By reading other posts i noticed many people are waiting for the decision. I wish you all the best and hope you receive your decision this week.

positivesolitude I was in the same situation and couldnt provide all the documents asked by the NCS staff so ended up sending directly by postal and luckily got approved sooner. I noticed from the Naturalization Timeline that postal application applied in march and earlier been quicker. Please read ...
