Also, bear in mind that after the ceremony you will have to return your BRP within 5 days . If you intend to travel, it will be an issue to re-enter the UK.

Thank you for the advice I should have done that at the time of application in adecember i will do that in case of reconsideration if I get a refusal, i have all the paper work to prove I left while 3C was valid. HO makes rules and they dont even know them sometimes. So frustrating. Lets hope for a ...

Dear all, I need your thoughts on this. I came to the UK as a student in 2003. In 2009 I got my PhD and applied for post-study visa, in the meantime I got a job and told them that I was waiting for work visa. Unfortunately, I got a refusal because of the £800 into the account for 3 months before the...

Congratulations. We did biometrics on same day and I am still awaiting. I was wondering, do you have an idea why the decision was made on the 23/02 and you only received it today?

May be they sent mail out on a specific day (not daily) or?? mystery

Indeed, they did not give me a chance to appeal after that, so thought I would just wait another year and apply for ILR (Tier 2 migrant) and I was granted that time,.

Lets see if that will have a negative impact on my naturalisation

Thank you Deej. So have you decided what will you do? Will you apply?

If you re-applied for another application within 28 days of appeal dismissed from inside the UK or left uk within 28 days of appeal dismissed date then you should be ok. Because section 3c & 3d protect from overstay. I had my ILR refused few years ago because they didn't apply 3c rule, and gave me ...

Hi all, Could people who are not familiar with Excel refrain from messing up the spreadsheet? (link below) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16A5wk6JSUbb_-oxNbxe2MCRI5TlzE1bf0gKnDLDstHM/edit#gid=0 A number of timelines have been messed up (December applicants). I personally check it often to ha...

Congratulations Saori,
When did you receive your approval, I will add it on the timeline spreadsheet.

You would think that being naturalised will be the end of all immigration hassle. I am sure the forum will give you some suggestions.

All the best and congrats again

It was on 16 Dec 2015.

Thank you. So it is taking around 2 to 2.5 months after submitting biometrics.

Congrats again and patience to the rest of us

Congrats Saini!

WHen did you submit your biometrics pls

I have just filled in the online form. Lets see I sent two letters to this address, this is what I was given at NCS at time of application, but they still sent it the biometrics to the previous one: UK Border Agency Nationality Group PO Box 306 Liverpool L2 0QN Thank you all for suggestions and help

Just tried but since I have applied less than 6 months ago, I don;t get to talk to anyone.

I am in touch with the tenant in the other house but you never know, people don't know how important that letter is and might not let me know straight away

Never ending stress

I have applied for my citizenship on 03/12/2015. I moved house on the 1st of January and the NCS had put a note on my application giving my new postal address. I have sent a letter with my new address around the 20th of December to again notify them of my change of address. However, the biometrics r...

Thank you for your responses.

Does anybody know know if all the referees are contacted or do they do that randomly on a number of cases?
Because my boss hasn't been contacted at all and I applied 3 months ago
Thank you

Hi there, I have applied through NCS on the 03/12/2015 and mentioned that I was moving house on the house on the 31/12/2015, so the lady wrote a note on my application and I also notified the home office by mail around the end of December. The fee has been taken off my account on the 12/01/2016 but ...

Hi all, I have booked a PEO appointement in Sheffield for a Saturday (which I find a bit odd) and I had to pay the full fees (£953) then to be able to have my appointment confirmed. Is this all normal? Last year when i applied for Tier2, I paid the fees at the PEO and not when I booked my appointmen...

All makes sense now. I will apply in June as it will be 5 years working in the UK and this time going to PEO in person so no more waiting for months and months.
Best of luck to everyone waiting and thank you for the support

I applied because of this!!!! Section 3C extends leave when a person with leave to enter or remain makes an in-time application. That is one made before their leave expires, but one in which their leave expires before a decision on that application is reached. If a person has 3C leave, and their app...

@suzuka Sorry it was all in 2009. So I have been in the UK continuous lawful stay for over 10 years now. I really didn't expect a refusal. Well I will apply again in June under 5 years work route 31/03/2009 and 12/05/2009. They did not apply 3C at all where I clearly had an appeal valid until the 2...
