A family relative is going through the following issue and any guidance or help would be much appreciated: The family relative lives in India and got married to a British citizen 8 months ago. They went on a honeymoon and spent some time together. The guy obviously then came back to the UK to start ...

Hi All, It is my understanding that if you were on Tier 1 and then got your ILR and then applied for citizenship (AN1 form), then you do not need to fill in the details of your grandparents as per page 12 of the guidance notes. Is that correct? This one is pedantic but I have 4 uncancelled passports...

Thanks folks. Can I also confirm that the form to be used is still AN.

My wife and I both have the ILR. I have been in the country for 5 years while my wife is only been in the country for 4. I recently applied for British Citizenship and was successful in my application. obviously my wife was not able to apply as she had only been in the country for four years. my que...

Based on the fact that I was able to book an appointment after 21 days had lapsed would suggest that either this rule does not exist or is not enforced as strictly.

OK, here is the interesting update. I managed to get a hold of someone in the council today who has now booked me a ceremony.

They didn't ask anything about the 21 days lapse, they just booked a ceremony for me.

Is there any cause for concern that they will say something later on?

Regards,

I understand that it's unforgivable. But can someone tell me the best course of action given that it's Saturday now..

The post would suggest that while there is a 21 day limit, councils can choose to book your appointment. Is my understanding correct?

Hi

I tried to call the council numerous times and unfortunately today 21 days have lapsed. What does this mean for my approval? Am I in trouble? What can I do?

Is there a number i could call?

Hi, I received my biometric enrolment letter recently along with the acknowledgement of the fee being received. There is a discrepancy between the two. Can someone help explain the following: The acknowledgement letter states that, "A total of £1,005.00 has been received. The fee has been paid in fu...

Have to go abroad for a couple of weeks and don't want this to be delayed... never know if an FPN or something else comes in the mail....

but what happens if there is a no show? could they not replace it?

Is there any council in the London area that provides nationality checking service on a saturday without having a prior booking.

If I want to get an appointment for tomorrow, is there any chance? I do not have a booking.

Can I just go sit there in the hope that they will take me?

Regards,

I swear by the power of Google as well. However, it does not give Tier 1 anymore. And the others are slightly different plus i was worried that HO may treat that as fradulent activity.

Sorry to be so analogy but just want to be 100% sure. Can you tell me which category to use...

Hi Folks,

I am applying for British Citizenship and was going to send in the PBS calculator print out to prove my English and degree equivalence. But I cannot find it anymore.

Can you please tell me what to do?

Hi All, Straight to the points: 1) Does the HO ever call or contact your references. The reason I ask is that while they know me, they obviously will not be able to answer any detailed questions about me. Any instances of this in the past? 2) I do not have a copy of my ILR application and do not kno...

Hi, NCS just told me that my wife is not eligible for citizenship as the applications are independent. Is the NCS correct? 1) My wife and I both got the ILR in January 2015. 2) My wife has only been in the country for 4 years to date. 3) I have been in the country for 6 years now. I can apply for Br...

Hi I had a few questions which I was hoping could be answered... 1) I successfully passed my LIUK test on 30/09/2014 and got my ILR on 21/01/2015. On the form can I check the box for I met the KOLL requirement after 28/10/2013. If so, do I have to send my university degree or anything? 2) I received...

Sorry for the confusion. Yes the guy is on Tier 1. And the wife came in September 2012 so needs to stay for five years to get the ILR. So he is going to go for ILR in April. What form should he use for his wife once he gets the ILR?

My friend's wife is on the Tier 1 5 year route. He is however about to get the ILR in April. Which form should he use for his wife?

All,

If DX delivers the BRP at a time when you are not at home, do they leave a note saying we tried to deliver? It has now been 6 working days and no BRP yet.

A thanks to all on this forum and I thought it would be useful for me to update my case here for everyone's reference. Appointment time 08:30 Arrived: 07:55 Security Checks completed @08:00 Token Granted: 08:05 Number was called out straight away. There were computer issues so the lady had to restar...

This might be a stupid one but...........

I am taking all my documents for the last five years to the Croydon PEO tomororw? I have put them in a school bag with folders inside. Do they allow bags to go in?

Many congrats. Was your appointment in the morning or the afternoon? How lond did it take to get the approval in total? And how long did it take after the sign changed to application under consideration? Thanks a lot for answering. As you probably know this is a very testing and worrying time for me.
