It is true that the naturalisation application requires disclosure of employment history and some employer information (name, address). Being employed is not a requirement for naturalization. Legal residence is. Assuming all categories applying for naturalisation require holding permanent residence,...

Heo is a dual EU citizen who applies for naturalisation (for instance French and Bulgarian). 1. Does he have to mention both citizenships/nationalities in Section 1.9, or the one used for work a...

@shakeerahT - How Long did it take to receive approval letter?

Can my child obtain British passport immediately if my ILR is approved, I applied for the visa before I got pregnant however I am still waiting on Home office to respond to me and I am due to give birth anytime from now. If the child is born after your ILR is approved your child can apply for Briti...

Yes. You can check the residence requirements (last 3 years) under section 6(2) of the British Nationality Act 1981.

All the best!

Does anyone have any hint or news if an online checking system is planned to return in the coming weeks? 2nd class mail is notorious to fail (I didn't receive biometric letter twice) and knowledge of decision being made may help not missing deadlines in case of lost letters. Also, people who applied...

I think you have to be married for at least 3 years to BC in order to go under 6.2 route, which would waive the 1 year permanent residence requirement :?: Nonsense!!!

Hi All, I have a little doubt now re-reading the NA booklet. It says that the application had to be in the country 5 years before the same day the application reach the home office.

Simplest path is applying using maiden name and existing documents, then after obtaining BC, change the name with deed poll. In case you have a UK marriage certificate with the "new" husband's family name, you can do the following: As she has lived at least 5 years as your spouse she may n...
