Best to contact the council by phone on Tuesday. Try to email ahead with all details .

Not something we see here regularly. If you want this corrected then you need to explain all the circumstances, and answer every question. Attach documents which support your statement. Best not to pre-judge how your application might be viewed. Stick with the facts - on which a decision will be mad...

I have just received my ILR DV last month which is SET (DV) and I have been married to a British for 3 years and living in the UK for 3 years. Can I apply for British Citizenship immediately? We are not officially divorced yet as we are still legally married. If you comply will all requirements the...

I doubt a border official (or border system) can just change resident status to visitor status.
In any case son has the evidence in his passport, stamp and BRP#.
Don't think there's an issue.

Of course referees certify that they are qualified to act as referee, including they are professional status.

You need to submit your certificate and your foreign passport(s) - originals only.

Only the ceremony element, from 80 to 130 pounds.

I would say "congratulations" but it won't feel like that after all you have been through. But at least your journey is complete now. Royal Mail service performance is variable, even with supposedly secure forms of deliver. My own recent experience with Special Delivery - a parcel worth £200 disappe...

Were you ever asked to pay IHS for child? If not then child wasn't liable to pay IHS.
It's a compulsory charge for visa applicants - you can't pay it voluntarily. Others may be able to point to a rule, if there's one.

There's no requirement for MN1 to have any kind of "health surcharge", I believe you mean IHS - that's only for visa holders. You will need to arrange a private insurance policy for your child until she has been registered as British, this is not part of IHS or mandated for MN1 or for nationality ap...

And IHS term cannot be chosen, it’s due for the term of the visa, which of course is not required for a UK born child.

You wouldn’t get refused on this error.

Of interest to German members of this forum: The Federal President has signed the law enacting the changes to the German Citizenship Law and it was published officially on 26 March 2024 in the Federal Law Gazette. https://www.recht.bund.de/bgbl/1/2024/104/VO.html (in German only). This will, amongst...

Can I still apply for citizenship even my husband divorced me? As I have to save some money for this.

Naturalisation is not an immigration application, there's no dependent concept in citizenship.
All applications are assessed individually.

These are questions you don't have to answer, if there's nothing you wish to raise the "n/a" would be sufficient, or refer to your covering note. Agreed they are a bit confusing. There are no templates for covering letters as they are not required, but you are free to add one with your documents. Ad...

Hello, Just a couple of questions: does an applicant's passport need to be valid for a certain time when applying for naturalization? What if a passport is expiring in a month, for example? There's no validity requirement for passports - expiry during process is not an issue. The other question is:...

Until you have attended the ceremony you are still under ILR and use your BRP to prove it - you are only British after the ceremony. No issue with immigration. Suggest you contact your council ASAP and ask to book around your hols - they may also offer private ceremonies (for a fee) if dates are dif...

Adding friend as director is not an issue.
Not sure why you think it may be an issue. It’s your company….

We can’t recommend or endorse any professional advisors. This is against the forum rules.

Include both passports for the five year period.

Haven't come across this problem before but perhaps taking a photograph of the form and load that? That may be better than scanning it?

Not something governed by UK immigration rules, but in the event you have to seek medical help in an EU country you probably will be asked to show your passport, in addition to the GHIC card. Your other documents are unlikely to be accepted as ID. The NHS Issuing Office may also ask for a copy of yo...

Can't really answer from the Irish perspective ... but as far as I know British citizens are covered by the Common Travel Area (CTA) provisions, they didn't have a need to exercise EU Treaty Rights, either before or after brexit. Certainly for naturalisation they need to satisfy the residency requir...

Civil penalties can be given for all kind as issues - as explained already they are not criminal offences, not even for late tax penalties. They are a fact of life, just like paying too little or too much tax at times. If you are evading tax that's a criminal offence and you are likely facing court ...

You can complain but unless it’s seriously damaged it’s unlikely they’ll pay to replace it.
