Thank you for this link - much appreciated! I have a further question please: I have a drink driving conviction in June 2018 for which I was handed a non-custodial sentence, which I am declaring as part of my naturalisation application. However, I have below concerns: - Will my application be refus...
Not familiar as to how you get to those messages: Normally you provide the following document scans: - Passport - Settled Status approval/ref number - Documents supporting residency - such as P60s or Council Tax bills per year - English Test - Life in the UK - Referee declarations So whatever the me...
Certificate should have been returned together with your foreign passport ....

Make sure you explain this as highest priority - the certificate is the only document that confers British citizenship.
Hi all I got ILR in April last year and would like to apply for citizenship in April this year. Two questions on day count - grateful for any advice you can give!: 1. I came back from a trip to Spain a few weeks ago. My plane landed at Stansted at 11:30pm on Sunday evening but I didn't get through ...
a) just select yes - a caseworker will know that child hasn't turned five yet.
b) child's current nationality is Mexican through parent? It's not about the nationality to be acquired.
Hi, I have few questions regarding British citizenship application. I am a non-EU and have a EU- settled status in UK since 2019. 1) I was working until December 2021 then started to claim Universal credit due to change of career. Currently, I am enrolled in a training course which will help to get...
For naturalisation you are always required to have the biometric appointment, even if you had them taken three months earlier, it's the case for all applications. There's no discretion. As far as I know.
Thank you very much alterhase58 and other gurus. I have a few couple of questions and I am combining them here. 1. If an application is previously withdrawn, are we still expected to include it in the section that asks for “Previous application details” in naturalisation application? Not sure but i...
Your original post suggested those were the only absences so my initial comment was based on that.... However, you appear to be still below the maximum allowed. As I said you don't have to justify your absences, unless you are over the limit and absences can be any length. Do your best to work out y...
Can't comment on the specifics of working in the EU. I assume a Hong Kong citizen doesn't need a visa to enter the UK? If one is required the airline will want to see a valid visa or BRP residency card, otherwise boarding will be refused. If HK traveller doesn't need a visa take a copy of son's Brit...
Hi all, I am assisting my daughter with her Naturalisation Application who did 5yrs Tier 2 and has all but completed 1yr ILR. She has a UK Degree. Please could I confirm a few questions:- 1) “Did you meet the knowledge of English requirement as part of an indefinite leave application made on or aft...
Valid Photo ID may not be required for the application itself (though an explanation will have to be given) as your biometrics will be taken at the appointment with UKVCAS - but you have to prove your identity to the UKBCAS agent (note they are not UKVI caseworkers). For most people that's a passpor...
Do you have a UKVCAS login ID/password?
You can upload documents for free yourself, not sure what the systems issue is.
The scanning service needs to be booked with your appointment I believe.
What do you travel with? Do you have a Travel Document issued by the Home Office?
The BRP is an ID but what do you as an ID now? I think the application will ask whether you have a passport.
Per the guidance which you have probably seen already (pages 11-12) - https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/998195/Guide_AN_final.pdf: "Total number of absences 101 – 179 days normally disregarded only if all other requirements are met and • ...
People sometimes do loose their ID or passports inbetween taking tests and the application!
It is not an issue, just use your passport and your letter confirming ILR.
