Hello, applying for naturalization as UK citizen for my children. As you know, one of the referees needs to be someone who knows them in a professional capacity e.g. teacher, etc. I am having difficulty with the fact that teachers are happy to sign the reference form but not comfortable sharing thei...

Hello all, my wife and children have submitted an online application for naturalisation as UK citizens (I am already a UK citizen by naturalisation 3 years ago). My question is regarding referees.

Thanks. This is helpful.

While on the topic - do you know if my dependants can travel to the Schengen area without a Schengen visa when they are travelling with me? I ask because somebody in a similar situation told me this is possible.

Hello, I recently naturalised as British Citizen (5 year Tier 2 General - ILR - Naturalisation route). My wife & kids have Indian passports and PBS dependent permits (their latest BRP was issued when I had ILR).

Message says that the service is no longer available. Seems like we are back to paper based forms? Does anybody know if the online service will be available again soon?

Hi, is anybody else having issues accessing the ILP online application link? I have been getting an error for the last 15 hours or so.

Thanks

Could not find online application form on the gov.uk site. The only link seems to be to the PDF form which needs to be downloaded, printed and filled up.

Can somebody post a link to the online form or tell me how to reach it please?

Hi all, I am due to convert my Tier 2 General permit to ILR in 5 year route. Had a question about mentioning all absences where I have been outside UK in the employer letter.

Got it. Thanks CR001. You are helping countless people .

I see that somebody had said FLR (M) under my query in Jan 2016 - assume that is still the right answer?

Thanks. So the question is, what visa should we apply for them? ILR dependent (not their own ILR)?

Right now they are dependent on my Tier 2 (General), if my Tier 2 General changes to an ILR, they need to get onto a new visa, right?

I am applying for ILR under the 5 years in Tier 2 General route.

Thanks both. Yes aware of the information shared. The official website says if you apply more than 28 days in advance your application [b]may[/b] be rejected. I was curious to see if anyone has had experience of applying earlier based on humanitarian grounds and got an approval.

Hi all, would really appreciate some advice on something. I am on Tier 2 General - going to complete 5 years in March 2018. I understand that as per normal UKBA rules, I can apply not earlier than 28 days before the completion of the 5 years - i.e. I can apply in Feb 2018. My question is does the UK...

Hi, thanks a lot for the prompt response. My question is about dependents on an ILR application with family.
