1) Its fine.

2) It is best to scan full passport covering the qualifying period. No explanation needed for stamps. You will rely on alternate proof of residence.

3) Just declare the details as asked truthfully. HO will make their own checks.

UAE is also on UK’s red list. Anyone coming through UAE even if via transit will have to hotel quarantine in UK on arrival and pay £1750.

Thank you for confirming. Would the same still apply for a shareholder receiving dividends from the limited company (not a director and not on PAYE)? The shareholder is also in full time employment elsewhere and files self assessment every year... Would we need to submit self assessment statement o...

Thank you Culinan! So just employment details in the form and tax office reference number (10 characters) and then they can look up the information online themselves correct?

Yes. HO will make their own checks. No documents needed in your case.

You were correctly advised previously about the same.

Apologies,

One more question,

Under "Proof of Application", Cover Letter and Authorisation...I'm assuming this is from employer??

Not all applies to you. Ignore this.

You do not need to submit any extra documents. Just mention the employer’s PAYE ref in the online form when you were on payroll for your company.

Thank you. Is electronic signature acceptable?

It is fine.

Hi every one, I will keep as short I can; applied Naturalisation in Aug 2018, got refused due to good character( over stayed 2004 to 2011). I am applying again now, my questions are as follows; 1 - Home office didnt return my Life in UK pass certificate but I have copy of it, will that be accepted?...

Upload your travel document in the proof of application. Upload all the pages covering the qualifying period i.e. 5 years in your case. You do not need your home passport as you are a refugee.

Hi, I want to submit my FM application using super priority service, however I can only see the option of standard service when I try to pay for my application. Does anyone know why I cant see super priority service option in my application and if there is a way to resolve it? Thanks in advance Che...

It can take up to 6 weeks. Also note, some applicant’s can be called for an interview also so it might delay it further.

Yes. Consent to the application: Mother’s consent: I (Full name of mother) consent to this application for the registration of (Full name of child) as a British Citizen. Signature: Date: Address: Mobile: Email: Father’s consent: I (Full name of father) consent to this application for the registratio...

Do you know or have an idea if my son can have his Scouts Leader as a referee? Should be okay. Also, do I need to make a copy of all pages (Even blank) of my passport ? Ideally scan all pages covering the qualifying period only including the blank pages. But just the bio page and stamps pages for t...

Answer will be NO. You do not have to mention anything regarding this in the cover letter.

Although the official guidance is what to follow but I have known many people who have moved out of UK after their Naturalisation and did not have any issues coming back. So the chances are rare.

Hi, I need some help, please. I am now uploading our documents. 1. Some documents are overlapping so for example for these 3, proof of parental responsibility for mum and proof of parental responsibility for dad and birth certificate, we only have one document that is the birth certificate, so I'm ...

No issue.

can I do a cover letter explaining the issue, provide an alternate referees details and upload their signed form instead.

Yes that is what you should do. It will not affect your wife’s application.

Not really, no issue. If you still have not attended biometrics you can leave a small note in the cover letter and upload with the documents before biometrics. If you have already attended biometrics, you may want to send a short email and declare that for your peace of mind. Mention your Name, DOB,...

What visa was he before Tier 1 Ent visa? PSW? Going 2-3 weeks over will be fine. There are a couple cases on the forum where applicant’s duration while employed overlapped with the start of Tier 1 Ent visa. Majority people were employed before switching onto Tier 1 Ent visa including myself. I also ...

Also note, there are cases reported where HO has erroneously processed an extension application even when an applicant varied it to ILR in time i.e. before a decision was made on the extension application. Given you vary your extension application to ILR in time i.e. before a decision is made on the...

If you were only a month short, you should have directly applied for ILR and simply submitted biometrics after you qualified. You get almost 2 months to attend biometrics. You could have easily done it. As long a decision was made after you qualify, your ILR would have been successful. Anyways too l...

If you had your Nikah in a country where this ceremony is recognised by law and you wish to divorce in the UK, you must undergo a civil divorce in addition to your Islamic divorce. If you were married under Sharia law in a country where this is recognised by law, and you then had a Khula, Faskh or T...

Sorry, another stamp question... I have two stamps that were crossed out by immigration officers (one was invisible so he restamped it on another page and the other was the wrong dat me so bad to be redone too). Is it worth explaining this in a cover letter or just ignore this altogether and they’l...
