Please make sure you calculate absences the same way as the HO. Please note that for absences the following calculation method used by the HO is beneficial if most of your flights were from & to the UK (having a UK employer and home I assume): The exit and return dates do not count for absences. For...

You will still have a citizenship ceremony certificate. If things go wrong you can apply for a passport at a British diplomatic mission abroad. You may just waste some time...

Thanks for your reply but I am keen to become a citizen as you never know what legislation there might be in the future. Happy New Year to you. A few personal or joint (with husband) account statements that the housewife name appears should suffice. They prefer P60, self employment account statemen...

Hi, My brother and i have just used the online application service. its pretty straight forward and you can make payment for your application on the system as well. Once you have completed the application form and payment is successful, it gives you options to download : - the supporting document c...

Hello Ariskar thanks again Ariskar for your detailed knowledge on this issue. Seems like you need to apply for professional solicitor. ok well as per the Home office letter it says PR acquired on 10 Nov 2017 so i guess i need to wait until Nov 2018 to get eligible for the citizenship. However based...

HEllo My application status was changed to decided on 8th Dec and like everyone else I couldn’t check afterwards as website went down. Didn’t receive any letter up until today , I called my local council on Monday and they took my details and asked me to wait for their call which I got back yesterd...

Digitized applications may lead to quicker processing times (no postal time, payment instant, etc). However, I assume one would also have to post a signed print-out of the online form and original documents (similar to online EEA(PR) available for some time now?). The NCS application still has the a...

Hello Ariskar thanks for your detail comments and advise. just few questions 1. how can i apply for my naturalization as i just got PR in Nov 2017. so accordingly to law i need to wait until Nov 2018 to apply for citizenship. Per your post, you got PR card in Nov 2017. That does not mean that you h...

I observed that in several recent cases (ref. timelines only topic), the members who got their naturalisation applications approved, have received approval through email, particularly after the online checking service was taken down or was discontinued. Is this a new practice for HO to send approval...

wahi66, I do not see how this could affect your application and status. If I was in your position I would apply for naturalisation for myself (i.e. yourself) too, on the basis of EEA(PR) plus 1+ years. EEA(PR) will be rendered invalid after the Brexit vote and would have to be exchanged to British l...

The EEA(PR) letter that the father obtained through his marriage would indicate the date since when the permanent residence is applicable. There are two scenarios to the best of my understanding. * If the father held permanent residence rights at the time the other (officially unrelated) woman gave ...

Hello guys. Did you find that being married to a BC and/or parent to a UK-born child that is BC weighs in settlement ILR application through the SET(Protection) route?

Wishing best of luck to all who are waiting for decisions.

Hello. I am in the process of obtaining BC through naturalisation and also expecting a child in a similar timeframe to the 6 months (non-binding) processing time. I hold EEA(PR). In case I do not attend a citizenship ceremony by the time the child is born, do I have to send my EEA(PR) certificate to...

An update, I called up HO helpline on a separate matter and they mentioned that the online checking service was taken down due to "falling below HO performance standards" . I took the opportunity to ask if it will be restored/restarted and they answered "this is being evaluated at the moment" . HO g...

Dear fellows, I applied for EEA PR in mid-September 2017, i was checking my application status regularly and eventually on 8/12/2017 around 13:45 the status changed from awaiting a decision to DECIDED.it made me super relaxed and I made a snapshot, but to be sure once again I tried to check on 9/12...

It is usefull. They make sure of application caveats (5 years ago you were present), which proofs of residence (EEA) you need as your passport/ID is not stamped, etc. Always try to bring more residence supporting documents and they will help picking the right ones with your application. Also they ch...

In section 3 (Family members) of the SET(P) application, if the applicant has a child in their care who is British citizen (UK passport), do they have to include them as dependents and not request for settlement (not applicable), or leave the section blank? This case is where the spouse and child of...

Hi everyone I am going through naturalisation as an EEA National, using form AN. I have enrolled my biometrics using the first letter I receive, albeit on the last day possible or possibly the next day depending how you count "15 days from this letter". Letter was dated 17/10/17 and i enrolled on t...

Hi, Not sure if it's appropriate to use this old thread of mine but I thought it's better than having CR001 merging a new one back into this one again :) Just a quick question - I am currently in a bit of a tricky and complicated living situation and have to move out from my place in exactly one mo...
