This has no effect on your application. For British passport, HMPO will only issue passport if your name matches your current passport While a name change does not necessarily have an impact on the application. I think a fundamental question is why does the OP keep changing names? Again this is not...

My daughter was born in the UK and currently holding Tier 2 visa. She has a Hong Kong passport. I was recently granted for ILR and want to apply BC for my daughter. For the BC application, it can take up to half a year. However, during this half a year, she may need to travel in and out the UK. Her...

If you applied already, you have to wait and see what happens. Technically, they can't exercise discretion and you must be in the UK at the beginning of the qualifying period relied upon. However, they sometimes contact the applicant and offer the option to sign a document to change the qualifying ...

Hence im trying to see where is this +/- several days thing coming from to be honest. The guidance is just that; guidance. I have quoted the specific section of the law that applies in this case above. The margin is to prevent a sloppy caseworker from miscalculating, rejecting your application and ...

Hi Hafid Thanks for your reply. I hope that you will get a good news about your Naturalisation case soon. I will be very thankful if you could share with us any new update about your Naturalisation and Reconsideration case please and if I get any response from the HO, I will update and share with y...

Thanks again. It exactly states the following As this application was received on 13 February 2020, you would have had to be in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2015. As you were not in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2015, this requirement is not met. The Secretary of State has therefore refuse...

My question is ,Can a restaurant manager be the mean referee ? he...

Thank you for your replies. I am inclined not to declare it, reason being is that to my knowledge the Home Office does not check other records other than the Police National Computer which in my case the record is clean. I don't see how would they find out about the fine. On top of that, even if I ...

Working at the HMPO does not make people immune to Covid-19. This pandemic is affecting everyone alike. Therefore, those waiting for approvals should exercise patience. Things will be delayed. As far as I know, the Passport office is not an essential service, especially when most countries have trav...

I received the British passport a week ago but my naturalisation certificate and other passport submitted as part of the application have not been returned. Is there a phone number or email address I can contact about this? Did you pay for secure return of your document? If you haven't then they wi...

It is better to declare it. It will not cause any harm to your application, especially when it's five years ago.
So I will also advise that you declare it.

Hi Zimba, Thanks for your reply and thank you once again as just because your help I got my extension at that time😊 now I again I need your help. I was on payroll until I lost admin review in Oct/ Nov 2016 but I will double check it with my accountant tomorrow. If I was not on payroll then means ho...

And also when we called to book ceremony there was no private ceremony date available before this date so we booked the free one. To answer questions of vaza, my kid is 3 so she goes to nursery and I am also permanent employee so yes I have employer to report. I think you will be fine. If your cere...

Hi Pseudonymmed, Thank you very much for your prompt reply. Does it mean that I can come back as ILR but have to reapply for naturalisation as a British citizen again after I come back? Once again thank you very much for your kind assistance because I am very very worried indeed. Given the current ...

So I have pretty much finished my online application for naturalisation. The thing is I am only 20 years old and have only been working for about 2 years, I am worried the government will look at this and decide I have not met some sort of requirement, even though I've been in this country since I ...

I dont think applications will be placed on hold. It will only take longer to attend to applications as many workers are working from home. However, if things get worse, obviously people's wellbeing comes first. Everything might be placed on hold. I guess there's nothing worry about because everythi...

Let's put a positive spin on this. Yes, the case is special. There was a plan, booked a ceremony for 15th April because of the council availability and convenience. There was a global emergency so you couldn't attend ceremony (or ceremony gets cancelled anyway). This is all special and looks good. ...

Just a little update and hopefully someone here could give me some more clarification: Basically I phoned the UKVI number for nationality enquiries and the lady who I spoke to was of some help but I am still a bit concerned. She basically says she doesn't know why it says that, but that my permanen...
