Re: BC Application and Tax

Falsifying your tax records is a criminal offence, if you lied about your income on your ilr application then theoretically this could be revoked and thus citizenship revoked at a later point. This is highly unlikely but it does not show good character and you're applying to be British so should be...

Re: Permanent to contract job affecting Citizenship applicat

Hello, There is no requirement to be working when you apply. You shouldn't need to submit payslips or P60's for that matter either. The UKBA will check that your taxes are in order. You may simply add a note on your application to say you are not due a self assessment yet. Here is a similar experien...

Re: Naturalisation application processing timelines (only)

Thanks for your input jagshari. but sharing updates for those whose appliations takes a long time also provides a benefit to others and some comfort to those still waiting. When a post of someone's timeline doesn't appear to have been updated in a long time, you won't be able to tell whether they ha...

Re: Postal Service delay

Just to add to this. There does indeed seem to be a delay in the post in general. I sent an invoice to a colleague using Special Delivery on Tuesday. This should have been delivered yesterday by 1pm "guaranteed delivery" but Royal Mail missed their deadline and only delivered it this morning... The ...

Ok, did you write to them after you got your passport back? Or was it just a case of waiting until they got back to you now with the approval letter?

It really depends on the council and the person at the other end of the phone, if they are prepared to check the certificates they have, they can give an update. I asked the lady nicely last time and she was friendly and checked for me, that was few weeks ago. I haven't called again to check, I thou...
