I know one single female non EU worker in Ireland who has adopted her sisters infant of six months old, and the child has Irish citizenship because the adoptive mum has been here long enough. She has left the infant with her sister in her home country, as she does not want to pay for childcare here...

No.

Are we expected to provide the maiden FULL name in answer to Q. 1.7? Of course the last name and middle name is now different (husband's surname and first name respectively), but the First name (both before and after marriage is still the same) . I think you should definitely write your whole name ...

my letter says invitation letter will follow and do not contact local council until the letter arrives. any advice what should i do? The letter you mention should have arrived within 2 weeks of the "approval" letter. It might be worth contacting your council to tell them the problem. They have more...

I received a letter from my council inviting me to a citizenship ceremony in about 3 weeks' time but I didn't receive a letter from Home Office (UKBA) and I was advised that I cannot attend the ceremony without the letter. I emailed 'FurtherNationalityEnquiries@ukba.gsi.gov.uk' but didn't get a rep...

If I apply and get UK NARIC's English Language Assessment for my bachelors done in India , to prove my English standard is CEFR Level C1, is this okay to apply for naturalization as I have already got Life in the UK. My guess is that only the HO can answer this kind of question. This thing hasn't b...

My only concern is not to invalidate de application (to be considered us withdrawn) if I request the passport. Not many applicants seem to have this issue. There is no need to worry about that. I haven't read anything (except on this forum) that says you can't get documents back without withdrawing...

6 weeks, I think?

Apparently it take 20days to get the documet/s back, therefore I need to hurry. Unfortunately I have only found out about this forum today. It seems quite helpful however I did not seem to be able to find a contact number for UKBA. 20 days is a conservative estimate! They also told us to wait 20 da...

Will the application be invalidated should I ask for the passport back while the application is in process? As far as I read the request isn't recommended. On another had they also say that 'only the document holder can request the document back, unless it is a withdrawal of an application in which...

No.

I didn't find mine, I don't know if home office has retained with them during my ILR.

My wife succeeded. I guess most people do?

i am going to apply for naturalization next week and i am feeling bit nervous about my council tax records. my wife has rented our flat under her name so that we can get 25% discount. so for last 2 years we are paying for single occupancy council tax. now the question is ...when i have filled up la...

IntegratedMigrant is right. My wife used to be in a similar situation, but travelled to her home country many times, changing flights in France, Netherlands, Turkey, etc. and never had any problem. The only risk is that, if your connecting flight is delayed or cancelled, you could be stuck on the ai...

I have checked with Council and they don't send any invitation letter for the ceremony when they receive naturalization certificate. Also they won't be able to check if they have received anyone's naturalization certificate without the reference number given on the approval letter. In that case, if...

Good point. If the HO letter is lost, there is still the problem of getting a replacement. But the OP was worried about the impossibility of finding out whether a HO letter has even been sent.

Since 1st of March, they have approved more than 3,000 applications I presumed and I dont see why this ceremonies wont be taking place every month!. Is it because the minister has to appear in person at each ceremony? In the UK, the ceremonies are small and frequent but are attended only by pompous...

Just wanted to know, what happens if the naturalisation approval letter doesn't reach the recipient (lost in transit)? I know homeoffice won't reply on the progress of the application until six months from the date of application. Does any one have any experience where they contacted homeoffice aft...

That's just because the passport form instructions are very badly written. The fact is that grandparents' details are not needed in these cases.
