After having my application for British citizenship approved, I will submit form MN1 for my 8 year-old daughter born abroad. My understanding is that this will be under s. 3(1) under the discretion of the Secretary of State. Now, question time for me: because we are EEA citizens I understand that no...
Highly unlikely your petition will make any difference or change.
Perhaps engaging a few MPs would be more productive, but again, it is unlikely most MPs will be interested in this situation which only affects non-British citizens.
it turns out to be cheaper paying 150ish quid and sitting the b1 exam than taking the Secretary of State to court. True. Also remember that non-EEA immigrants pay over a small fortune to the government for immigration any way. My immigration ten years ago has cost me about £5000-6000 overall and th...
getting a change in their requirements, which as I understand are set by using Royal Prerogative powers, seems an almost impossible challenge. Errr, no. The requirements are not issued under the Royal Prerogative. They are issued by ministers under powers delegated to them by Parliament using legis...
I wholeheartedly agree that evidence of English language should be broader. There are many certifications above the required B1 level that they don't accept. For example, Cambridge First Certificate, CAE, CPE. But also it is obvious that people who are integrated in the education system, as it is th...
Thank you. I see your point, but have no explanation of why. Only I have observed that as from August decisions are being taken sooner. I can only think of the home office hiring new caseworkers who are able to take faster decisions because the just get new applications and don't have a backlog. An...
Congratulations to you! I saw your timeline and I believe you applied after me and you got your decision. Frustratingly I am still awaiting...oh well! Thank you. I see your point, but have no explanation of why. Only I have observed that as from August decisions are being taken sooner. I can only t...
Now that my naturalization is approved, I'm going to apply for my daughter with MN1. Today it was parents evening in her school and I took the opportunity to ask a couple of her teachers. Both agreed and said they've done it before, so no problem. I think GP or dentist are less likely to agree. Anyw...
Hi, The status of my application (application date as 17/7) changed to Decided last Monday (6/11) but I still haven't received any post (been 7 working days). I am quite worried if it has been lost in the post as I assume 2nd class mail typically takes 2-3 days max. Any advice on how best to procee...

Today in the morning i received a letter from home office telling me that my case it is more complex and it will take longer than 6 months to be decided, i went on the internet today to check my status and and it went to decided? What it can be ? I can only think of two reasons. One is that decided...
I am trying to understand if the online checker is actually working on not. Is the general feeling that it is not working as it previously did? We all know by now that it is not a real-time system but wonder if anyone has proof that it batch updates every day like it used to? It does. My status was...
If they reach a decision they will do it on the facts existing at the time the decision is taken, so likelihood is they ask for a fresh application and new fee once you get PR document. What will happen if you manage to get a PR document before your citizenship application is decided? I don't know. ...
This summer I got my PR card in around 45 days. Same timeframe for my partner and child, who applied once I receive mine. But that's not the main issue. You have to wait for twelve months after you acquire PR, which is not necessarily the date the card is issued. On the other hand, withdrawing does ...
Swintoosh - are you tracking these 500 applications manually, or do you have a little script that you created? If you have a script, would you mind sharing it? :mrgreen: The problem I can foresee here, in addition to this being useless because those numbers are shared for different applications, is...
You don't give many details, but it looks like your passport is not stamped and they need other evidence. Have you ever paid council tax? If yes, council tax statement should do. Alternatively, if you have ever worked or been self employed, request a statement of taxes an NI contributions from https...
This is part of the HMPO one name for all purposes passport policy. It will not affect your British citizenship, but may affect your right to obtain a British passport because British passports are not a right. They are used under Royal Prerogative powers and the Crown has discretion as to the rules...
Hi, I was wondering if the username AdInfernos would be available for me. Also, I see some people have flags in their profile. I have been trying to set a flag of Spain but can't find where to do it. Many thanks Username Done. You appear to have already selected your flag. Thank you CR001. Yes, I m...
Yes I know my statistical analysis could be skewed, I've already stated that I don't know if it's just naturalisation and registration cases. However not many other cases dealt by Home Office take more than 5 months to consider. Yes, if you apply through NCS and submit a JCAP application with famil...
If there were to be such a huge red flag, I am sure you would already be aware of it =) I want that funny feeling too now :D It turns out that the red flag didn't exist at all :D Letter of approval received today and now awaiting for invitation for ceremony, which they say will arrive within 3 week...

I have now traced about 200 applications (ref 2xxxxxx700 to 2xxxxxxx900) in which 3 are mine - applied 9-Jun-2017, receipt confirmation sent to me on 19-Jun-2017. Here is the statistics: 76/201 are "not recognised" - majority would be family members of main applicant, these don't get updated or tra...
