Thank you cricinfo for valuable information. In case I apply her visa after my BC as she is studying atm, then for my BC application do I need to supply my marriage certificate?

No difference really Except if you need to send your documents (especially passport) to the HO for your wife's visa application. You might not see it again for years, but you will need it to apply for citizenship. Is the op's wife is applying for set(m) then they can use the SCS this avoids documen...

Not sure if this is the right answer as you can count the time you lived on student visa towards your citizenship qualifying period so i think this date has to be when you came in UK

Because there will be a short interview to check a person's identity before ceremony.

To my experience there is no interview at the ceremony. They only check your ID with invitation letter and ask you to take seat

If these are the only points you got in last 12 months then you should be fine. If you go for driving class which means you wouldn't get any points on your licence then you don't need to worry about anything.

Yes your child will be British by birth. S/He will be british by descent rather than by otherwise though. You can apply passport for your child in british consulate in china.

You will be alright even if you are not economically active. You can apply without any problem if you meet standard requirements.

Also you can try C&S service at different post office.

Can anybody tell me how long we have to wait before receiving the invitation letter because it's been 1 week now since I receive the approval letter but there is no sign of the invitation. Do I need to contact Home Office? I would suggest you to contact your local authority to find out if they have...

It should state on your letter whether you need to confirm them or not. Normally you need to confirm your attendence before the ceremony.

Change the address with UKBA and also have Royal Mail diversion service in place as UKBA send all the communication by Royal Mail. This will make sure that you will still receive the letter even if they send it on old address. Well, We sent a letter to the same address, where our application was se...

I would advise you to contact your local authority yourself rather than waiting for the letter to come through.
