Oh ok. Good job i didnt apply last month then because i came in the UK on Jan 2009 as WHM and then got married and got spouse visa on 28th Aug 2010. So guess i would be able to apply for naturalisation after this date ? If you currently have indefinite leave to remain in the UK, and are married to ...

The same pattern (delayed April-June applications) held last year too. The reason was that staff was moved to help with the spike in the passport applications during the summer season. Perhaps this is a seasonal issue.

Hello I am applying for my naturalization this month, I am a little confused with the English language requirement. I got my ILR in June 2014. The AN Booklet from June 2015 says the below - --------- 1. Have passed the Life in the UK test; AND EITHER 2. a. Have a speaking and listening qualificatio...

Hi, thanks for your reply. I did not disclose anything to anybody as I was not asked before. My question is not to see in which way to twist the facts but to understand if I need to disclose convictions which do not even exist anymore by the law of where it happened. According to the law of my birt...

[ Not sure why you are even concerned about this.... The only reason is that HO might say why 2nd referee didn't fill the 1st referee section? Well i asked him to fill the 2nd referee section as he is my friend as the 1st referee section i left for a professional. Sorry it's just i am bit paranoid ...

Hi, My 2nd refree filled and signed the form a day before the 1st refree? 2nd referee signed it on 18th june and 1st referee filled and signed it on 19th june. Is that ok? OR i have to get it filled again from 2nd referee with new date? Please help? Not sure why you are even concerned about this....

I applied on 19 of Jan and yesterday i received a letter from home asking for all my original documents. But i applied through NCS and they checked all my documents. I do not understand why??? Home office asked me to provide following original document documents; All my passports which covers last ...

They definitely take the money first and then do the checks.

Did you disclose this in your previous application to Home Office? If you did, then you have no choice but declare it again. If you did not, then declaring it now may lead to them believing that you deceived them previously. 9 months non-custodial sentence is quite serious, as far as the UK is conce...

I wonder how the companies would respond to this insanity, with the trouble of replacing highly skilled employees on tier 2 dependant visas. It won't affect the highly skilled dependants. If they are highly skilled they will be able to apply for their own work visa. Only if they fit into the quota,...

Stopping ILR holders from getting British citizenships will not reduce immigration. Since they already have ILR, they are not going anywhere. On the contrary, this will worsen their immigration statistics by increasing the number of foreign nationals living in the UK ( who would otherwise be classi...

Ever heard of circumstantial evidence? I am not saying that HO will resort to these extreme methods of disqualifying applicants but you never know. HO wants to bring down immigration by hook or crook. With the Tories storming home with absolute majority they want to clamp down on immigration more t...

Hello it will be highly appreciated if someone of either similar experience or someone senior could answer my question: - I came to the UK in 2007 under TIER1 point based system. - extended my stay in 2009. - Got ILR in May 2012, Passed my LIUK test in Feb2012 - I need to apply for naturalization i...

I read on one forum that Home Office from now on requires original BRPs to be submitted, even if applying through NCS. If applicants require BRPs for travel, they will have to ask Home Office to return it (which may take some time). Is this true?

I very much doubt they will seek references from previos employers. First of all, this goes considerably beyond the scope of good charachter assessment for the purposes of nationality, as past employers can say whatever unverifiable things they want. For example, you may have left because of higher...

Please Help!!!!!!!! NCS agent asked me questions and ticked YES and NO on a document. The agent has ticked YES question "have you had more than one fixed penalty notices in 12 months" however I have had NO fixed penalty notices. How can I notify nationality team of this as its a mistake and don't w...

Hi All, I've got a master degree taught in english and have used it to get my Tier 2, extend it twice and apply for the ILR. But now it seems that one of the requirements of the citizenship application is to provide further evidence that that SAME degree is legit for claiming English language point...

According to my analysis, what they are doing at the moment is clearing all Jan/Feb/March backlog before moving to post April applications. They strategy would be to clear all old rule / pre biometric applications first. Currently people who applied in Jan are receiving approvals, even Feb are on h...

Oh!God too much harassment for citizenship. Can anyone confirm me that if you have taken tax return for a particular year then what will happen to citizenship. While on PSW applied for tax return and got £600 something as a tax return. will there be any problem when you apply for citizenship?? What...

See the following thread... http://www.immigrationboards.com/british-citizenship/new-an-citizenship-form-may-2015-t187250-100.html#p1199402 I saw several posts here recently where people were advised after calling HO helpline that it was ok to use the old form for 21 days after the change. Looks li...

How dp you know that? Or is just a guess?

Guys guys guys.....if the home office already have your details of LIUK and english knowledge thingi...then why they keep asking for the same details over and over again? Why have they included the LIUK test details in AN forms if they already have these details from your ILR application....??? The...
