An update I have called Home Office UK Visas and Immigration. They told me specifically that you can travel abroad and return to UK with your Indian passport and ILR visa, provided your ILR visa is stamped in the Indian passport and you do not have BRP card. I have recorded the conversation with her...

Your ILR is effectively cancelled once you become BC. But since you have ILR in your passport, you should be ok to return. Carry your naturalisation certificate with you. Yes, this is what I am thinking. I consulted someone in the home office. He said although the ILR is logically cancelled on the ...

What about the new requirement to return your BRP within 5 days of your ceremony? Naturalisation certificate is not a travel document. I do not have a BRP card since I got my ILR in Feb 2012. I have my ILR visa stamped in the passport only. I am aware that the naturalisation certificate is not a tr...

Hi, I have my citizenship ceremony tomorrow, and I will get my citizenship certificate. I did apply for British passport alongwith citizenship application. Therefore I will receive my British passport in approximately 10 days time. I have to travel to India on urgent basis coming weekend (29th May) ...

Thanks CR001 and ScopeD for clarifying. It is much appreciated

Thanks ScopeD. I understand this. So are you saying that they will not issue new BRP cards against the biometric enrolment we did on 5th March as a part of our naturalisation application process. The current BRP I am holding as part of my current visa needs to be returned within 5 days of the ceremo...

Thanks for a lightening reply. But at the same time they say that you have to return your biometric cards within 5 days of the citizenship ceremony. What does that exactly mean? Thanks in advance

I have applied for citizenship along with my wife and my son (MN1) on 22nd February at NCS Wandsworth, as a joint application for citizenship and passport. We received the receipt and request for providing biometrics. We did our biometric done on 5th March. But we have not yet received the biometric...

Congrats tknayak! Just a quick question - You said you have paid £2700 but you could have paid £2025 (just for you and your wife) and later you could have register your child for Naturalisation / Citizenship directly - since he is just 8 years old (comes under the Minor category) ? Does it make sen...

hi, congratulations. Can you please share employer letter format. Thanks Following is the format of the employer letter I got from my company. This is a standard format used by my company. This format is similar to the format published in the sticky post in this forum. Date Address of Company in le...

Ok. Mine has lots of stamps due to business trips. Another thing I am not sure is I go for a business trip Country A and then in that business trip, I make a trip over weekend to a third country Country B and then come back for business trip to Country A and then after few weeks back to UK. How sho...

He did verify each and every page of my passport in front of me. Perhaps it became easier for him since I have very few visits abroad.

Thanks sunil.suneel and jaskiratbaweja.

Yes, I took all the photocopies. I would suggest you take B&W photocopies instead of colour so that you can distinguish between original and photocopy.

Hi Everyone, A sigh of relief after a stressful six weeks considering the ever changing rules and various speculations. I have followed this forum for my Tier1 (main and extension) application and the ILR application. I think the more you say about this forum is less. This is the only forum where yo...

Congrats nairl. I got my ILR today. I will post it separately.

That's good to know

Congrats for the success.

What cohab docs you produced and what did he pick?

Congratulations RPB.

In your case the caseworker seems to be very experienced and matured person. I must admit, he took the right decision.

Congrats SpokenHands. Very detailed description. One question, did the caseworker specifically ask for 2 documents for cohabitation? Since the SET(O) asks for evidences since your last extension, shouldn't be one (if possible more) evidence enough? Secondly, I think an early morning appointment may ...

Congratulations and good to know about your success
