Online for me too. I took about 8 days for my sons passports to come back.

I'm Romanian. We can only vote for local and European elections.

Can I do this before I attend my Citizenship Ceremony? Thoughts? No you are not a British Citizen till you attend ceremony. You can however, book a private ceremony for £50 odd, then you have Citizenship in time. Many people do it, and that is what I did as I wanted to move job/place ASAP after BC,...

I have received my approval letter and want to register to vote for the May elections. Can I do this before I attend my Citizenship Ceremony? The ceremony is booked on April 22nd, but I think that would be to late to inform the council of a change in circumstance that would allow me to vote in May. ...

Thanks for that. What sort of info were they missing? If you're allowed to say...

It's good see that they are sending out emails to confirm approval. Did any of you had an email when the application was received by HO? Just trying to understand who gets emails and who doesn't. Hi zonkkk, maybe they wrote to me via e-mail because I don't live in the Uk. During the whole process I...

EEA applications started to arrive. Fingers crossed mine will come soon.

I have just seen on the January 2015 applications timeline that some of them received confirmation of approval via email. Did any of you get an email to confirm approval?

Just trying to understand who gets emails and who doesn't.

Some people say that applicant with Muslim name have to wait longer and Indian getting approval very fast ,is there is any fact? Rubbish! This is totally the wrong country to display the persecuted syndrome; especially when dealing with government agencies. They would be slaughtered by the media if...

All fast approvals so far are ILR + 1 year. I guess most of the checks are done when the ILR is issued?
EEA national here with Residence Card +1.5 years, applied on Feb 9th - no news yet.

Guys, Why did you submit the licence? You need to submit it if you have used it as ID when taking the Life in the UK test. Never heard that before! Did you read the form before you applied? Page 17 of the Application Form AN form states: "Section 1 Evidence of identity: required for all application...

I would check exactly what documents they had, you may find that you already have some type of document that confirms your status. For example I received a registration certificate for my daughter 6 years ago which states "no restrictions on employment in the UK". Funnily enough, she was only 2 year...

Did you come to live here with your parents? What sort of residency documents did they have?

Are you sure they accept banker's draft?
On the Fee Form they only say Credit Card or Cheque crossed a/c payee (nothing about banker's draft).

What does it say on your residence card? If it says: "Permanent Residence" then you can apply for a passport for the child as they are automatically British. If it says something else, like "No restrictions of employment in the UK" for example, that is not a permanent residency card, and you would h...

"london_2014. I had applied via a solicitor and she was only chasing up on my behalf. I got the update from her. actually whenever I try to call, they (HO) either dont take my calls or when they do they say its 'under consideration' :) I guess they were able to open up more because my solicitor con...

If you were a permanent resident when the child was born he is automatically a British Citizen.
You don't need to apply for British Citizenship. Go for passport directly.

If he was born before you acquired permanent residency, you would have had to apply through section 1.3.

You are a permanent resident.

However if you want to become a citizen you need to be a permanent resident for at least one year before applying.
