Both my kids got their citizenship certificates.

Thank you CULLINAN, CR001, mumofmini and alterhase58 for your support and help.

On to British passport process now

Have a lovely weekend!

Eligibility criteria: Parents granted ILR in March 2021. Children born in the UK (2010 & 2017). Child nationality at birth: Indian Method of application: Online Date of application: 13/05/2021 Acknowledgement received: 13/05/2021 Documents submitted: 21/05/21 Biometric enrolment: 10/06/2021 (Free) A...

1. No
2. No

You are overthinking

Yeah, BRP is sufficient to prove your immigration status.

Sometimes same document can cover two or more requirements, so nothing to worry.

If you haven't applied for child's British passport then you could've used the grace period for your travel. Here's what I found in my research: https://www.immigrationboards.com/british-citizenship/mn1-prep-work-queries-t308962-25.html#p2003342 The best option is to go for e-visa, but looks like it...

Yes, you can keep draft application and continue to edit as many times as you want. Once you are ready, then you pay and that's when your application gets submitted. When you save draft it will confirm on the screen how long it will be retained and what you need to do (access it at least once in eve...

If you go for super priority you'll get result on the same day (if it's straightforward), so I'd not be tempted to resign before I get visa approved. Maximum delay to start your new job is about a week or 10 days, which the new employer should be ok with. Convince them, but don't put yourself in unn...

1. Yes
2. Don't you have Tier 2 extension approval letter on which reference number is there?

As long as vaf and CoS are of the same application you can give as it will all match in their records.

Yeah, you can say No in case you don't have those reference numbers.

Are there separate sections for document upload for each applicant? In that case it's probably better to upload for each child - they are individual applications and may not be processed all at the same time. Yes, separate sections for both kids, but single MN1 application. Sure, will upload as sug...

A couple of questions related to the checklist that is generated at the end of the draft MN1 application. Text in red is a question, text in blue is what I'll provide as evidence. 1. The passport issued for Miss XXXX (Current passport or previous passports as well? Full passport scan or just front ...

Kept alarm for 6 am checked for a few minutes and gave up as I felt very sleepy

A few minutes back, logged in and noticed one free slot available in the 2nd week of June and booked it without wasting a second. Phew! A minimum of £150 saved.

Great! Thanks CULLINAN.

Gosh, 1 am! Dreadful. Dark circles

Free appointments 6-9am.. sleepless nights!

Yep, noted thanks. 6 to 9 am is thankfully doable . Can't escape sleepless nights until the approval email arrives

Great! Thanks CULLINAN.

Gosh, 1 am! Dreadful. Dark circles

A couple of questions please: 1. Should referee forms be signed and dated only after application submission date or is it ok to be signed a week or two before submission? 2. I read in FAQ or ukvcas site that Biometrics appointment slots are released at 9 am every day. I can't find this info again, s...

3) It asks for partner details of the child and is mandatory?! how to skip this. Where did you get this question? Can you type the full question here? I just checked my kid's MN1 draft form and couldn't find anything like that. Did you mention that your child's relationship status is single? I unde...

That means even Carer's Allowance is out of the question as DLA seems to be a prerequisite. Correct. In 2005, the UK brought in face to face medical assessments for those who were on/wanting, disabilty and/or sick benefits: I think that government (Labour) awarded the contract for these medicals to...

Hi, does anyone have experience of claiming DLA when parents have ILR status but kid still on Tier 2 dependent visa status? I see conflicting advice and some from a number of years back, so just trying to understand the eligibility criteria better. The child must not be subject to immigration contr...

Hi, does anyone have experience of claiming DLA when parents have ILR status but kid still on Tier 2 dependent visa status? I see conflicting advice and some from a number of years back, so just trying to understand the eligibility criteria better.

Is there an alternate option similar to this https://www.gov.uk/view-prove-immigration-status ?

Looks like the above option only works in certain cases and as my partner has BRP so this link is not working.

ok, and is this skilled worker dependent visa a dependant visa on my ILR? (because my earlier Tier 2 visa is replaced by an ILR right?). If yes, could you pls share the link for this option. I end up getting on FLR-M everytime i lookup. Thanks Sandip I guess you are looking for this link? https://a...

Thanks. Did you perhaps choose to have your documents checked?

I have opted for the free appointment without any additional purchased and clicked to submit uploads.

Yes, I got paid appointment so document check was included.

Yes, that should be fine, however, during biometrics appointment they may scan the full passport again. Anyway, if you are too worried you should still be able to upload full passport scan on ukvcas portal until 48 hrs of your biometrics appointment. FYI, I uploaded full passport scan but they scann...

Hi everyone, I'm applying ILR on ukvcas.co.uk in progess of uploading the documents and found out these requirements are a bit confusing. Please helpe me if possible, thanks very much in advance. 1. Mandatory documents for applicant. In this section, it has two subsections and required to upload: P...
