I doubt they will ask you to resubmit if you upload the correct versions. Caseworkers review all documents and will pick up on a simple mistake.
I am hoping this is the case.

Thank you for your replies they’ve been valuable.

Re: Naturalisation QQ.

BRP is proof of your ILR status, as you need to upload the referee forms anyway, why not. There will be two sets of referee forms, but you can explain this in a cover note, and even if you don't the caseworker will be able to see what is the correct set of forms. It makes sense. Regarding the ...

Re: Naturalisation QQ.

Sorry could not edit in time to make it clear. We inputted the I.D no: of the BRP, however it has been expired since end of December last year as the HO moved over to E-VISA. The form did not ask for a share code as such for the E-VISA. We have not uploaded a copy of the BRP as the checklist did not ...

Re: Naturalisation QQ.

Can anyone confirm two things:

1. Passport ID/BRP is all to be taken to the appointment for biometrics. As we self uploaded the rest of the documents.

2. Did BRP need to be uploaded as a document submission, as we input the details into the application, e/visa?

It all seems OK. Upload according to the checklist, book a biometrics appointment, and hopefully the HO will give you an outcome soon.
Hopefully. Just a waiting game after the appointment.

Re: ILR Savings QQ

Thanks for that. I was under the impression they cross referenced every stage of the application with the one previous. I was obviously wrong in my thought process there. They do but they cross reference what you state in application forms and evidence that might have been submitted to find out if ...

Re: ILR Savings QQ

I find it strange that even after flr m stage they require this as would it not all be on the system anyway? It is not HO's job to scurry around looking for stuff that an applicant didn't submit or what might be relevant from a previous application. It is and always has been/will be, the applicants ...

Re: ILR Savings QQ

The date of entry on a spouse visa is what determines when an applicant is eligible to apply for ILR, i.e. 60 months spouse visa minus 28th days. Normally all previous passports need to be scanned and uploaded, included all stamped/visa pages. This will likely all be required again for citizenship ...
