They told me that it's been postponed until June, I should get a letter soon. But if I can't have my ceremony within three months since I got the letter dated ...

Document checklist requirement is following:- If you are a Non-EEA National , you need to include your passport to prove you have lived in the UK for the relevant 3- or 5-year period...
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...

Hi, any advice would be much appreciated. My wife changed her name when first living in the UK way back in 2003 we believe around May time. This wasn't just a simple change of surname due to marriage but also she changed her first name as well. We actually got married in Japan before relocating to ...
Hello everyone, I am applying for British citizenship. I don't understand what does it mean by non-applying dependants. I have two children. One has British citizenship and the other has ILR. Do they regard as my non-applying dependants in the context of the online application for British citizensh...
Hi! Recently I entered the border, can't find my ILR BRP, told the IO I must have misplaced it, who then checked the system and let me in, got home and applied for a new one, reported it lost (4 weeks later but presumably not a big deal since it takes longer), then found it in a drawer. This doesn'...
Hello everyone, I'm filling the form AN for naturalisation. In section Trips outside the UK, it asks "When did you first arrive in the UK?" I entered the UK for 1-year studies about 20 years ago and returned to my home country. Then I entered the UK in 2007 for studies and stay until today. In AN f...
You have to make a choice here. If you think you will get better care in the US and/or your risks are lower, just take next flight to the US. Your health is more important than any application. You have an ILR anyway. So if you end up staying more than 90 days, wait 9 months to reset that counter a...

From a recent experience of someone I know, an IT Engineer was accepted as a referee. Although the 2 refs provided were Engineers and both British Citizens. Well... I can't say I'm surprised but in the end nobody really knows how HO actually do checks and where they exercise discretion and to what ...

So what about Engineer (with professional qualifactions) I know a solution delivery engineer (IT branch) would he qualify? He isn't a member of any professional body but got professional qualifications. I doubt they will qualify w/o BCS membership, as the accepted BCS levels of membership are clear...
Thanks, that's that I'm doing. Now I got to the referee section which I'm surprised to see. I remember it from my own naturalisation application but didn't expect to see it on MN1. Need to find someone that knew him for at least 3 years and is willing to share their passport number with us... Yes, ...
Thank you. It is still weird. I got further with this form and they ask questions such as 'what is your child's telephone number, or what is child's email address'. He's 12, he doesn't have any of it or even properly understands what citizenship is... use the phone number and email address of one o...
