There is a new requirement to meet English language. If you studied for a degree in the UK (or abroad in English), that would be enough. Otherwise, you will need to pass a test (in addition to Life n the UK) Well I only have Functional skills in English level 2 and now I'm doing GSCE in English but...

By the way it has been long time since I've used this forum or checked anything!! Is anything changed about BC I hold PR since March 2013 do I still have to wai...
Where have you seen that? How many have you seen? 5? 20? 50?

NCS will copy all your documents during the appointment and give them back to you. They send the copies directly to the HO. There is a fee for the service. I didn't mention how long you can stay abroad because there is no restriction (strictly speaking you are expected to intend to live in the UK a...
If you need the passport use NCS to apply. You can travel while waiting for decision, just don't forget to come back for the ceremony. Thanks Jambo as always you reply with good info ;) What is the difference to apply through NCS? Does that mean I don't have to send my passport at all and they will...

Call UKBA and seek advise. Thanks for reply. It's a long story about to change on my national passport so answer is, no I...
LIUK is a must and having English qualifications does not exempt you as they are two completely separate tests and requirements. Also, please note that the test and books changed in March 2013 so make sure you get the correct version of the study materials. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/british...

I will apply for BC on February 2013, I have level 2 in English, do I still have to do life in the UK test?
I'm confused because some people saying that I have to the others saying I don't.
Many thanks.
I have changed my full name via deed poll, I'm applying for BC on February, can I just send my deed poll certificate with new name and my passport(my nationality passport) with old name, would that be an issue? Do I have to change my national passport name as well?
Yes you need. A deed poll is not a proof of ID. A passport is (with a deed poll in case of a name change). You also need to submit your passport to show you meet the residence requirements (the PR doesn't prove that. It only proves you have PR). Thanks Jambo, ok I will send my both passports and de...
Hi guys, I'm just wondering when I apply for naturalisation, if I have to send my national passport(from my country) and a travel document that was expired a long ago? The reason I ask because I'm planing to change my full name, I will get the deep poll that I will send to HO with my PR etc. Thanks ...
