Hi All, I applied for naturalisation and got my approval on 9th August, dated 6th August. I contacted the council today to book the ceremony and first date they have is 23rd August.

Thanks for this John.

In the last year it is about 20 days outside of Uk so should not be a problem.

Yup, I checked in our passports, we were in Uk in Nov 2006 so 5 year rule should be fine as well.

Many thanks

Many thanks for your reply John, I appreciate your help. Date of conviction was more than five years ago as well, July'2006 to be precise. So I guess I do not have to declare on the form, right? Number of days outside in last 5 years would be around 220 including the project in Germany. is that ok? ...

Hi All, I came to UK in Aug'2002 on a work permit, later moved to HSMP and got my ILR in Sept'2007. I got 3 points on my license, £120 fine in court becasue I was driving on international license/UK provisional license (LC20) in July 2006 i.e. more than five years ago. I think the offence above sho...

Hi,

I never applied for naturalisation. I was not sure whether I should apply for it because of the offence. I thought about waiting for 5 years.

Now, most probabaly I will never apply for naturalisation.

Just out of curiosity, any sucess for people who applied with LC20?

Cheers!

Me and my wife both have ILR. We had a baby girl last month, she was born in the UK and we are planning to apply for her briish passport. I was wondering what is the procedure for this? Do we have to go to NCS and get the child registered and then apply for her passport or just get the passport appl...

Hi senthil78,

I still have not applied for the Naturalisation but will be applying for it soon. I have made an appointment with NCS today and will see what they say about it.

Have you applied for Naturalisation and if yes, what was the outcome?

Look forward to hear from you soon

Cheers

Thanks a lot for your comments John, Sushil-ACCA and Vinny, I really appreciate it.

the OP is lucky he is not a doctor or things would have been much worse. doctors who have got prosecuted for such things, apart from the usual points fines conviction etc have been reffered by police / court to gmc. gmc has initiated disciplinary procedures against such people and one person i am a...

Thanks for your replies guys. I understand and I do agree that it was my fault (Ignorance is no defence as joe777 said). what I am trying to say is that I did not know this when this happened and after the incident I never tried this again. I am a law abiding person and whatever happened was just be...

All the best..

I am in the same boat, have been calling for the last two weeks daily but not able to get an appointment..

indian_in_uk, the comment from jazbaati99 is correct, but I add the following :- In order to apply for ILR a pass certificate from the Life in the UK Citizenship test (or a completion certificate from a combined ESOL/Citizenship course) will need to be submitted with the application .... and that a...
