Thank you all for your comments. Kasif I sent a letter with stamps on and a recorded delivery sticker so they could send it back to me. I received all my documents and the approval letter in the same envelope. I just thought it was my documents being sent back, truly didnt think it would be approva...

Hiya When I called HO a while ago I was asked if the country I came from had national service, when I said it did the call centre advisor said that that can add some time onto processing. No idea why??? I'm from Iran, any other Jan or feb club members from a similar nationality or part of the world...

Did you had employment resident visa in your passport when you applied for BC.

Jaffar

Yes I did! and still valid!

Agree with Jambo – it won't make any difference. The Home Office is interested in whether you fulfil the requirements, including the UK residence requirements, for naturalisation, and the fact that you may have a resident permit for a third country (i.e. not your country of citizenship and not the ...

Thank you Jambo!

Dear All, I have query regarding my case which is explained below. I live in the UK (most of the time) but I have a residence visa in other country (in Middle East). I am here based on married to British citizen and I applied for BC. My residence visa is an employment visa in that foreign country. B...

Dear All, Just I am wondering if any one or any one knows a Palestinian citizen who applied before for BC application based on married to British citizen and whether he/she was born in Palestine or outside Palestine. Just, in case there is one can you please tell me how many months did it take to be...

27/4: Today, I finally received the letter (dated 23/4) asking for more documentation. Congrat mate finally your trip is over tomorrow exactly 6 months for me still NOTHING Have a good day :-) Did you cantact UKBA about your application to get update? or you are planning to contact them after passi...

Answer was that they do supposedly process in date order but some take longer due to requesting more information, which we all know is totally untrue. I know my husband has been asked for nothing thus far. The HO means requesting more information from other governmental agencies and not the applica...

Hi all, I applied for BC in mid of last Jan/2012. I called to inform them that I am going abroad for a month they asked me for my details to record my trip but the lady found out nothing in the system (still no file in the system) so she asked me to send a letter about the trip. After I came back to...

I applied on the 17th February and have heard nothing so far.....not a problem as i am waiting patiently. However, on the 29th Feb thereabouts, i received a letter stating i had not paid enough and to pay within 2 weeks or my application will be refused.....i was surprised considering there was mor...

My question is can my trips (abroad) delay the process of my application? No. It is advisable to have some one checking your post in case the HO writes to you asking for more information (you normally are given 21 says to respond). Thank you very much Jambo! :) Are you one of the BC applicant (Jamb...

After exactly 11months, I finally got the brown envlope. Wooow!!.. long time indeed. Congrats. Hi all, I applied on (18 Jan 2012) via NCS based on married to BC and I received my acknowledgment. At the end of the first month immigration advisor told me that still I didn't have a file in the system....

Hi all, I applied on (18 Jan 2012) via NCS based on married to BC and I received my acknowledgment. At the end of the first month immigration advisor told me that still I didn't have a file in the system. Then I decided to travel for 5 weeks in the begining of the second month after submission to vi...

Have called today to check the status of my application. The lady at the other end kindly refused because it is less than 6 months since I applied. A friend of mine applied at similar time as myself called them up and the lady said Decision has been made, I think the reason she did not tell you is ...

my wife applied end of January and still waiting for apporval letter. The only letter we received so far is one from HO saying the fees has been taken, is this the acknowledgement letter? or there should been another acknowledgement letter but we never received? This is the only acknowledgement let...

I wonder if ordering a SAR file from UKBA whilst your naturalisation application is being considered will give any insights on their methods.... You'd probably get it after naturalisation decision :lol: I submited my application 3 months and a few days a go for BC via NCS. which means in Jan/2012; ...

I didn't see this, but it happened to me. and this information was provided by UKBA in Leverpol when I called them. So, a month after I applied, if I go on a 5-day break out of the UK [counted as 3 days absence] I should notify UKBA? And, do they expect that business people who might travel abroad ...

Yes, you can travel with your previous passport after submitting application. but it is better to inform UKBA by sending a letter (recorded delivery) to them and mention your destination, time (how many days a way) and personel details. Where did you see this? I didn't see this, but it happened to ...

Hi John - Please I have a question. 1. I assume you saying that he should be in the UK when he sends the application? 2. Can he leave/travel out of the UK after UKBA would have received and are processing the application ie if using the checking service one will still hold previous national passpor...

Hi, could you please tell me what does CSI stand for? as I applied for BC a few months ago as I am married to BC and I was a student when I got married between year Oct/2008 - May/2011. I have a NHS card but I don't have CSI even I dont know that there is a card or registration as CSI. I am not fro...

[quote="Jambo"]I admit the requirement of having CSI is a bit confusing. Under UK rules, you are entitled to free NHS as you are a resident. However, under EEA regulations, in order to obtain a Permanent Residence status you are required to have CSI (if student of self sufficient). The GPs are not e...
