Dear members, My solicitors called me today they received a letter from UKBA asking additional £23 for my joint application (£1294+£23) and he posted the £23 payment page today to UKBA. UKBA deducted first £1294 in three weeks time from the date of receipt application. Now will they deduct £23 agai...

My fee was taken a month ago and I have not got any letter yet regarding my application acknowledgement ( date?)

Is that ok? or should I contact Home Office?

Regards

You can get your reference number on phone if you call UKBA

Does it mean they have taken my application according the date of submission?

If they have already debited the money then you should be fine and no need to contact HO. You should receive your acknowledgement in next few days i guess

ok thank you for the quick response, do you know if NCS offer next day signed for delivery of my application. And is it ok if i travel after making my application. would this has any effect on my application when HO do the processing, i will be away but a family member will be at home should any le...

Many thanks

When ips sent a letter to my countersignatory for verification, they asked him to type the reply on his official letter head.

They will be British. Any kid born after you become british citizen will be british regardless of where they born

My countersignatory received the letter for my passport application. Bascially they asked my countersignatory to recognise the photo and asked him questions like my name,address and how long he knows me. IPS asked him to type the answers on his official letter head

I am not sure but i think if you use Royal Mail to send your application then they take the date of sending into account rather than date they receive them. I am reading a news from UKBA which may or may not be relevent in this case: 03 April 2012 On 6 April 2012 the Tier 1 (Post-study work) route w...

I did that as well. Did you get some confirmation? They took money out of my account several weeks ago. My case has already been decided. I applied in Nov 2011 I know, I was just asking did you get any confirmation from NCS between booking it and applying. No. I didn't get any confirmation from NCS...

need not mention as it was FPN. A bit confuse here. I think CU80 (using mobile whilst driving) does not come under minor offence. See guidance notes : We will normally disregard a single conviction for a minor offence resulting in a bind over, conditional discharge or relatively small fine or compe...

my brother had applied through lawyer in may 2011 for citizenship its due in Nov 2011 after six months but HO didn't reply yet one year has gone .....we are very worried. You should contact MP of your area and ask him/her to write to HO regarding your case. This may speed up processing on your brot...

It's always better to book as early as possible so that you can get date of your choice. I booked mine 2 months in advance

Hi Guys I applied with Check and Send service through post office on the 28th March, I got my documents (Naturalization Cert & Iraqi passport) back today but no mention for interview?

Thanks everyone foy your answers. But i feel there are varying thoughts here but i may need more clear answers.

Do you know how long it will take to get the passport for the kid?

Normally it takes 2 - 3 weeks if you apply through post office
