but my worry is when I applied for the ILR I never stated in the Good character section about my driving offence which are I received a court fine of £480 and 6 Points in Feb 2018 on my license This was a really bad call because now you are kinda stuck in between a rock and a hard place! This would...

Can anyone please answer my queries or provide me an web link form where I can start the naturalisation process or get inform about that In addition to the links provided above, also read the ones below, once you've done that and start your application you can then come back here and ask specific q...

I explained all this to the Joge, but She said I was being charged because I did not fill the notice myself. I did plead no guilty. You pleaded not guilty but seems you were found guilty nonetheless. Unless your friend had come clean and took the blame in court it is impossible to prove that it was...

I'm a little confused by the history. If he never got the refusal letter, at what point did he leave the country? After chasing it up? Anyway, this is what the Nationality Good character requirement says about overstaying. It's also worth bearing in mind what the initial reason for refusal was as it...

I would still email and then post. I personally have been waiting for a 1st class recorded item to be delivered and it's been over a week already even though they aim to deliver in 1-3 days. With the holidays around the corner who knows when/if it'll be delivered! Post Office will give £50 compensat...

They're supposed to be scanned and uploaded with all your other supporting documents before you attend your appointment at the UKVCAS. Once there they will only ask for passport/s. Some say you can still upload on your UKVCAS account on same day after your appointment butthere is no guarantee that t...

If his membership on his professional body hasn't lapsed yet I don't see any problem. Find out with him when it does. This is usually renewed annually and can be checked online on relevant professional bodies' websites, I'm guessing that's what the Home Office use to check so important that he's sti...

What do you think we should do, should we highlight the overstay or leave it to the HO. What do you recommend should be apply and put the information in a covering note or shall we wait till 2022. in my opinion, I will suggest you do not apply until 10 years from when the spouse visa application wa...

Thanks very much for the info, I have just send a email to furthernationalityenquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk asking an update of my application 2 days ago, Is this the wrong email address? Should I send another email to the email you provided? The email you used is also correct however as I was sug...

Another option which you didn't list is to book a private ceremony which would allow you to attend earlier and at your convenience but at a cost. Check with your local council. You could then apply for passport on the same day after the ceremony to maximize chances of getting it quicker. Most people...

can I apply with my current expired passport or do I need to renew it before applying.

As already mentioned above, your expired passport is fine but gather some evidence to go with it to prove your residency since the time it expired. For instance P60s, letter from employer/s etc.

It was only because I couldn't find the answer to the OP's question. I don't think needless sarcasm implying people are dumb disguised as humour (even when a laughing emoji is inserted to drive this point home) is what people are looking for when they come here. A straight forward answer is all.

The SAR will be the best option but it does take about a month to get it. Whilst you're waiting you could send them an email if you haven't already or even if you already did before. I have found the email addresses below are the ones where you will be replied by a real person not a robot after a fe...

3. when I go to the link below it's asking about proof of your knowledge of english language. What is it? This link explains what it is https://www.gov.uk/english-language your NARIC statement will fulfill this requirement. You also need the Life in the UK certificate. 3. How did you manage to get ...

Hi all, I am currently holding an ILR, technically I could apply for UK citizenship in 9 months. Given that all other requirements are satisfied, could being covered under Section 3C at some point in the past 10 years (and more than 5 years ago) be an issue when applying for citizenship? My ILR rou...

The 21 days are only to contact the council and book a date for the ceremony. You have up to 3 months to attend your ceremony from the date on your approval letter. There won't be a problem with your plan of travelling first and then attending the ceremony after, just make sure you have booked your ...

Hi I am worried ,and want to make sure I do not have problem with my citizenship application having a single 6 point FPN and fine 300 pound paid due to driving without insurance ,will affect the application As some wrote and said that driving without insurance Is a serious offence and leads to appl...

Hi, Thank you This is the only FPN I have ever since I arrived to london What does it mean as it does not specify the period in years: You have 3 or more FPN at any level No it doesn't say the period in years for that particular point that's why it's safe to interpret it as during your entire durat...

Sorry the 2 completely different cases in the same thread threw me off and I didn't realise it was under the same user name. Makes sense that it's two different people. Here's what the Guide AN says about FPNs under Criminality; https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uplo...

I am applying for citizenship February 2020 I am worried about a road traffic offence I had on november 2018 ,if it will affect my application I was stopped by a policeman, while driving my husband, car without having a third party insurance I was given 300 penalty fine and 6 points on my provision...

First you need to determine whether your traffic offences were Fixed Penalty Notices or Penalty Charge Notices. For instance, driving in a bus lane is a PCN and does not need to be declared. Driving without MOT is a FPN and needs to be declared. The naturalisation guide asks for all FPNs to be decla...

It's weird when they use examples of disqualification or driving without insurance. There is space on the online application to declare "Something else..." and this is where this would fall into. I guess in your case you'd have to consider the 3rd point - i.e. in the past 3 years you received 2 or ...

Fixed penalty notices (such as speeding or parking tickets) must be disclosed, although will not normally be taken into account unless: • you have failed to pay and there were criminal proceedings as a result • you received 3 or more fixed penalty notices at any level • in the past 3 years you rece...

Fair enough. As I said, we declared under "Something else...." where it asked about any offences ever, my interpretation was Fixed Penalty Notices had to be declared. We did it just for peace of mind. But you're right, all this is just advice and you have to make the decision ultimately.

Well that's a shame user Ty3 can't receive messages yet. Definitely would've been the best person to share a similar experience. That said, they do have an active thread of their own down about 10 spaces asking about First Passport referee, you could ask there and they'd get a notification of your q...
