Page 14 of AN Booklet November says

If you have already satisfied the requirement to have sufficient knowledge of language and
life in the UK for settlement, by applying on or after 28 October 2013, you do not have to
demonstrate it again.

No, the above does not 'prove' Evidence of knowledge of Language and of Life in the UK, it proves you have ILR. True, however It will also prove the date of approval is after Oct 2013. isn't it? You need to submit LIUK test certificate again agreed and English B1. Confused. I don't have an up-to da...

Hi guys,

In the AN guide, on page 16, it says

SELF-EMPLOYED APPLICANTS
If you do not pay tax through Pay As You Earn (PAYE) arrangements, we require
• The most recent HM Revenue & Customs Self Assessment Statement of
Account

Does this means SA302? or does it means something else?

Thanks

Page 18 of the Guide AN (October 2015): The date of application will be the date your form is received by the Home Office, Nationality Checking Service or the local British government representative as shown above. It is not the date on which you send it. The inclusion of NCS is new in the October ...

IMHO, For citizenship applications, the date of submission is the date on which home office receives your application.

if you don't mind, can I ask any reference for this information. Do you have any personal experience reflecting this?

Hi guys,

Just a quick question, Is it possible to use different councils for NCS application (application checking and forwarding) and nationality ceremony for British citizenship?

Thanks

IMHO, it all depends upon your contract with your landlord. If your contract says that your landlord will pay the council tax then you have nothing to worry about.

Hi, As you all know the English language requirement are changing from 5 Nov 2015. My question is, the people who has already taken the English language test and have qualified for ILR on that basics, would it be compulsory for them to do any new proposed English language test by HO in order to fulf...

you will have to wait for the decision on your previous application anyway before you make a new application. Not necessarily. You can vary the application if you have not yet received the decision. Search this forum and you will find plenty of cases who varied their application. I will do a quick ...

This is not how it works.

how it works is, form the date of application, you absences from UK should not exceed 90/100 days in last 12 months.
So e.g. you are applying on 1 Jan 2016. The calculation will be From 1 Jan 2016 to 1 Jan 2015, you should not be out of country for more than 90/100 days.
