Naturalisation Reference Contact

Hi,

Curious if the 2 reference you put down when applying for naturalisation are contacted by Home Office or those records are just kept on file.

Checking to see if they contact them then that might be a crude way of tracking your application.

Re: Required Documents

For this required document;
most recent tax year account statement and corresponding HMRC tax return as proof of self-employment
I currently only have that of April 2020 — do I have to wait for that of 2021 to be processed?

Re: Required Documents

Also now that documents are being uploaded, do we still need to attach a passport photo to the Referee Declaration Form and upload those too?

Re: SET(M) - Application - documents upload

Date of application is the date you pay online. That is the reference date for your documents. Biometrics date/ documents upload date is irrelevant. Is there any advantage to self-submitting apart from saving time - if you’re on super priority then it doesn’t matter as you’re paying for next day de...

Naturalisation after SET(M)

Am I right in assuming that someone on the 5year family route (spouse) can apply for Naturalisation immediately after gaining ILR via SET(M)? Or does the 12month wait also apply?
