kel wrote:Helpmeplease, your ceremony was long. Which council was it with? Mine was with Camden and the ceremony itself was abt 30 mins while the registration before was abt 30 mins as well.

leeds, the whole process from start to finish was well over 2 hours, anyway glad it's out of the way so to speak

had my ceremony today and have to agree with kel, kids basically ruin it for everyone .... if only people were more sensible , i know it's a special occasion but why bring toddlers and make them suffer as well as others there. anyway took no less than 2 hours , was hoping for a shorter one to be hon...

the HO should receive your application no sooner than the 1st of November, meaning if you go to NCS on the 31st of October, it should be ok as NCS would then send it and HO would get it on the 1st of Nov

correct me if i'm wrong senior members?

why does it take forever for the public ceremony, got mine on the 3rd of November can't wait

one question though, for the passport application can i use my Doctor (GP) as my referee ? i ask because i read a while ago someone got their application refused because of using GP as a ref.....

Based on the above and considering he got ilr granted without any problems shouldn't it be relatively straight forward for him to obtain bc ? I say this because when he obtained his ilr, he must still had these 2 convictions ? If it had been a problem then surely ho would have refused ? or the guide...

that's a mistake my cousin made as well and i would imagine being a rather common mistake. it was no issue none what so ever, he his passport in 2 weeks :D so don't worry about it on a different note, i see a lot of folks here recommend using Check and send service for passports, i'm not sure why pe...

you don't have to send life in the uk test pass certificate, if you used it to obtain your ILR (settlement)

so in theory, only passport and a completed AN form is sufficient.

No, but because the monthly timeline topics are for "timelines" only. All other generic discussions and questions about updates are to be posted here - this topic is a sticky for that very purpose. The reason for allowing monthly timeline topics was to make it convenient for people to post and moni...

We all here for help i see, i gave you an opportunity and one last chance to rectify your mistake ( as i assumed it was a mistake and not intended the way it came out) but as it stands, you meant it and only removed the content without explaining what you meant by it. no problem, i have enough evid...

i'm a little confused here, maybe you can help me and put me out of my misery.


on what basis are you applying to be a British Citizen ?

1: Mentally Retarded ?

3: Just Retarded ?

Thanks.

since we're down to petty tit for tat and what we deserve then i guess you will be posting another thread after 6 weeks throwing another tantrum seeking attention and demanding answers as to why the UKBA haven't left everything to deal with your dodgy application.

Enough said.

oh i thank you from the bottom of my heart and am really grateful for such kind words as well as wishing me well for the future, you really are a very kind person.

i also wish you all the best and hope you get to the finish line ASAP.

Best wishes and good luck : )

hi Jaffar, as per my understanding, it's not a requirement as such to have employment to be able to qualify for naturalization or british citizenship. it comes under good character but it doesn't affect you adversely if you're not employed, in a matter of fact, you could be on job seekers allowance ...
