It means ILR approval letter, since BRP is subject to loss/renewal. But I also think letter accompanying ILR BRP also states to keep the letter safe. So personally I think either of the two letters should suffice. I would also suggest to click here and book NCS as well. Good luck.

The opinion on such matters differ.

The latest link provides full list of recognised English tests on page 1. It seems that your TESOL isn't on the list. So personally to keep things simple, I would choose a test and from page 1 in the link and take that. Good luck.

Personally I think such checks would've been made durnig Tier 2 and ILR stages, I don't think there is anything to worry about, however I always did it so would request attaching a cover letter with your application, although its never necessary unless Home Office specifies it. I would await furthe...

Be ready that your Naturalisation certificate might come once-folded. Mine came once-folded and my wife's didn't.

You're welcome. Please do post your application timeline in relevant timeline thread as well, to help other gauge. Good luck.

Personally I would wait till I am under 90 days limit. Because as far as I know only Armed forces absences are exempt from the 90 day rule. You could ask for discretion but then its a risk I personally would not take. Good luck.

No need to worry. Just either go to the ceremony they invited you for, or book a private ceremony which costs a fee but you get to choose the time and date.

This FAQ link is a good place to start.

About travelling, you can travel by all means, but make sure to be able to provide biometrics and attend ceremony in UK. Personally I would not travel unless necessary.

Child must have no restrictions on their stay in UK if born abroad to parents who were not British at the time of birth, i.e. they must have ILR.

Husband of one of my wife's friends, waited for about 5 months before getting approval. Even based upon this single sample of data, I would not lose hope. Good luck.

I do apologise. It is six year in UK according to this link. However I'd add a year for added security.
