A letter from your accountant detailing your monthly salary for the past year along with your last three months personal bank statements (take a whole year's worth if you can) should suffice. I am assuming that you are still paying yourself a salary from your limited company even though you do not h...

There is no need for a consent letter, I attended my ILR interview last year, no such letter was requested.

Thanks for the clarification JAJ

I notice that several people here have sent out their passport applications on the same day as their citizenship ceremony. How is this possible? The passport form requires you to enter your naturalisation details, and for a countersignatory to sign your form and photo. Can all this be done on the s...

don't want to hijack this thread but I was a bit concerned to find out that registration on the basis of marriage affects a mother's ability to pass on citizenship. Is this only for children born before 1983? The reason I asked is that even though I stated on my naturalisation application that I was...

your wife cannot apply now, the applicant must have completed 3 years lawul residence if married to a British Citizen or 5 years if not married to a citizen. The earliest you wife can apply is April 2012, provided you are granted British citizenship by then.

Yes, provided your ILR application is successful, once you are married to the British citizen, you can then apply for Naturalisation based on marriage to a BC. Otherwise you can apply in November 2009, whichever route you take make sure you apply on a date on which you were physically in the UK exac...

Try Camden NCS (located near Kings Cross station) they seem to always have slots available.

There is no fast track option for first adult passports but the process takes a little less than 3 weeks in my experience, once you send the application off, you normally get an invitation to book an interview after a week or two, if you are willing to go to any available interview office, you could...

give as much information as you do know and write "unknown - parents deceased" for those things you don't know.

IPS is not interested in Visa extensions as far as I am aware

You are not free from immigration control until your ILR is stamped, so "no recourse to public funds" still applies to you.

Kesh, I doubt a covering letter will help, the requirement to be physically present in the UK on the date exactly five years before your Naturalisation application reaches the HO is one area that no discretion is allowed.

You should only send your current uncancelled passport, that's what I was told by IPS.

Have a read through the AN guidance and you will see what documents are required in your case. It is not the same as for ILR, you only need to show your Life in the UK pass certificate (or ESOL with citizenship), your passport with ILR stamp and the one you entered UK on if different (you'll need to...

Are you sure? as far as I am aware you do not need an employer letter for your tier1 employment. If you are currently on a work permit then yes you must have an employer's letter.

Your wife can apply as soon as you attend your citizenship ceremony and recieve your naturalisation certificate, you do not have to wait till you recieve your passport.

remember money of any currency with an equivalent value of 10,000 euros or more must be declared or it may be seized by Customs official if you are entering the UK from a non-EU country.

those two referees should be fine provided they have known the applicant for at least three years

If you have been residing legally in the UK for the previous 5 years then you can apply to naturalise exactly 12 months after you were granted ILR. If you were illegal at any point during the previous 5 years, you will have to wait until you have completed 5 years legal residence, including 1 year o...

The UK born child can apply for registration as a British citizen now on form MN1 regardless of whether the parents choose to Naturalise themselves

As far as I am aware and based on a conversation with someone at the Nationality Helpline, your father as a fomer British subject would have lost his British citizenship when the country of his birth became an independent state. If it was your grandfather who was born in Britain you might have stood...

A stamped and signed copy should be fine

The OP mentioned he is now on tier1. He also mentioned that he was made redundant end of September in which case I think he should submit his last 3 payslips, which would take him up to September. I suppose the company documents should show that he is economically active, considering he was employed...

Time spent on a student visa will not count towards the 5 years for ILR based on work permit employment. It would count towards an application based on 10 years continuos Legal stay however. Based on Current Rules you are not eligible for ILR until Sep 2009 (of course you can apply 28 days before th...
