Hi,

We received an acknowledgement by email (by post as well, but it came a few days later), it was in March.

Funny, but I still keep reading this forum .

For an applicaton for British Citizenship you need to have 2 referees (it is a must, not a choice): - a professional (any nationality) - a British citizen (any profession) Both of them cannot be related to you or live at the same address, and they should have known you for more than 2 years. At our ...

You can see this number on any letter/correspondence you got in past from Home office - it will be in top right corner - the number was allocated at your previous applications. I think it is always better to indicate that number as it might speed up the application. Anyway, as it was already said be...

I do not know how they located my documents.

I was told that normally it takes them about 10 working days to put our documents on the system (after receiving them).

I just rang them again - good news: my documents were located and will be posted to me soon as we need them really urgently because of travel. The lady on the phone was really helpful.

No, problem, thank you, I have that one.
I thought you had another one, which connects directly to the office where we sent out documents.

Would you be able to give me the direct number you were given - I would like to call as well - maybe we will be able to find out some more info re our passports?

Our situation is just the same. They said that they did not get our documents. But I have a post office proof that it was delivered. Asked us to call a week later. Today I got another letter from Child Tax Credit office - asking about our passport to be sent to them by 24.06. Obviously, we are not a...

HM Revenue and Customs, Child Benefit Office (GB), PO Box 1, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE88 1ZB

The address on the return envelope is the address of their Head Office - that is what I was told and that is where they check our immigration status.
I hope very much that it is correct information.

Hi, Our case is the same. We applied in April for child benefit and child work credit. We got a form to fill asking about confirmation about our immigration status. Sent everything on the same day. Today I called to check if everything is ok and was told that they have not got documents. I used Next...

Hi GmanILR2012, I just would like to encourage you regarding the acknowledgement letter you get from HO - they usually do not mention dependants names on the letter. I applied for myself and my two sons as my dependants some time ago. In the letter I got from them was only my name mentioned, but ILR...

Hi VN, Sorry, I gave you wrong information. I thought you were asking about the letter that your employer give you to send to Home Office. No, in the confirmation letter from Home Office only the name of the main applicant is mentioned. In the past when I applied for extension of my visa it was the ...

My letter included my name as the main applicant and names of my two children as my dependants.
