Has anyone used the services of NCS Westminster?

If so, how was there service? Did they use their own payment slip for the AN form?

Do they also give you a tracking number for the delivery of the application?

Thanks very much

For the 1st question on the AN form...should I put down my BRP number as the UKBA reference number?

Thanx for your response. I might just refill the application with black ink. But one of my refs would still be in blue ink

I've completed my AN form in blue ink. My 1st referee insisted on signing in black ink on her portion of the referee form whereas the 2nd referee signed in blue ink.

Would this cause issues with the UKBA?
Anyone else have a similar experience?

Thanks

The first entry stamp on my passport is slightly illegible...the month and year are clear but the day is slightly illegible.

Would this be an issue when applying for naturalisation?

Thanks for replying. Looks like they handle nationality applications a bit differently than ILR apps in terms of which date they take in to account for processing.

I will be applying via NCS on the 5th of April 2013. As the fees are to go up from the 6th...would the UKBA consider my application fee based on the posting/submission date or the application receipt date?

Thanks everyone for your replies. I will be using a Bankers Draft to pay for my naturalisation application. I don't have my own cheque book and do not want to use a debit/credit card as the Home Office have made mistakes in the past in entering the numbers incorrectly, etc. I was curious why on the ...

I was wondering if we can pay the fee for the AN form with a Banker's Draft?

The pay slip lists the options are debit/credit card or cheque. Technically a Bankers Draft is a cheque so would it be accepted? Has anyone paid by by Bankers Draft for their naturalisation application?

£20 for the banker's draft and was accepted at the Home Office without a problem.

Thank you Greenie for advice. I will try not to worry too much. Though I would appreciate it if anyone else would care to be kind enough to inform us if they have the same issue on their BRP. Thank you in advance I think that is fine...I've read other posts where ppl had similar instances (i.e. Ind...

An update...I received a letter yesterday telling me to reschedule delivery as apparently they tried to deliver on Tuesday (3 days after appointment).

The BRP finally was delivered today.

HSMPEngineer...I hope yours has arrived too...if not, hopefully any day now.

Thanks for the feedback.

It's day 4 and counting for me...

For those of you granted ILR at a PEO recently...how long did it take for your BRP to arrive?

Thanks Greenie...yes that is what I have put down (i.e. banker's draft details).

Thank you.

Quick question...do I have to put down the bankers' draft details on the payment form (i.e. where it asks for cheque details)?

Thanks for the reassurance...I thought bank drafts were usually printed or something.

I will be applying for ILR next week at Croydon PEO and am paying by a banker's draft. I got the draft today from HSBC and its handwritten. I queried this and they said all HSBC bank drafts are handwritten and accepted by the Home Office.

Is this normal? Are banker's drafts generally handwritten?

A new Set(M) form has been published alongside the current one. If you're applying from or after the 29th of Feb 2012 then you will need to fill out the new form:

For those of you who used an HSBC bankers draft...did you have to fill out a form called an 'Inland Draft'? Did you have to supply 2 forms of ID upon collection? I've asked several HSBC branches on their charges and they all are different...from £15 in one branch to being quoted £30 at another...how...

How many bank statements did you submit with the initial application? Did they want more than the last 3 months statements?

InshAllah you will get a positive decision soon.

Congrats on the ILR!! Thanks for sharing this experience...I'm booked to go in for a Set(M) appointment in early March at Croydon as well. In regards to the property you own...which documents did you provide? Land registry? Mortgage statement? My wife owns the flat we live in so I'm not sure what e...
