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.

No, one (invitation) is from local County Council.The other (approval) is from Home Office.

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

Page 12 of the Guide MN1 clearly states that for children born outside the UK, both parents are expected to be British citizens or at least one parent is to be a British citizen and the other parent settled in the UK and applying to be a British citizen for discretion to be exercised under Section ...

Do you think I should wait another 2 years before my credit history gets reset (after 6 yrs since I signed up for IVA) I read somewhere that after 6 years credit history wipes out all previous bad history and if any organisation searches they wont find anything! From this reference (quoted below) a...

Thanks for your reply Arsal385 one more thing to clear as I read ILR for Tier 1 General migrant will no longer be available from 6 April 2018 so just wondering does same apply for Dependent as well? if yes then her 5th year will not be completed until August 2018 so do you suggest she will still be...

He is on a dependent visa as I did not have British citizenship/ILR at the time he was born.

He needs to attain ILR.

I second skilachi and would strongly request the applicant to wait till 23rd November. Although you could in theory request NCS to send it a day later, but personally i applied a week after I was eligible. Just because I wasn't in much of a hurry but a senior here urged me not to leave it for too lo...

Hi all, Can we send the fingerprint deletion letter request after the citizenship ceremony but before a new passport has been issued? You can, but its pretty much automated now. Fingerprints are deleted, photo is kept to be matched whenever you apply for first Passport. Also on a side note somethin...

Hi I received a letter from the council to attend the ceremony but nothing from the Home Office. I understand that this letter is required to attend the ceremony. I contacted home office and they asked me to email citizenship.support@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk. I contacted them last week but have not he...

Good luck then.

I hope we could make a pretty strong case that her future lies back in the UK, simply by stating that we would be back there already rather than in a third country if her residency wasn't an issue. I doubt that would cut it for you. Hence my request to book NCS and speak to them first, whenever you...

You could, if you meet other requirements, I would request also to book NCS and apply. Good luck.

I am guessing student years need some special requirements to be fulfilled, if coming from EEA route, e.g. Comprehensive Sickness Insurance, funds etc. But I was not from EEA route so would await further replies. Good luck.

No it isn't part of that. But if you are married to British Citizen then you could apply under spouse route. But if you are being truthful of your basis of staying in UK and if it was different than just working, then showing your work history in relative part, then you can see how the form doesn't ...

It will be upon discretion, normally both parents and child must hold ILR status, if other parent does not hold ILR then its upon discretion and these days according to few member's feedback in forum, this discretion is no longer practised if other parent is not on ILR. Please click here for more in...

In your case it is straightforward, but it could be the multiple names in that fields, e.g. basis of stay marriage but also worked, etc. So I wouldn't moan that much :) I would agree to members in this link that EEA folks have it easier than non-EEA route folks. Besides, citizenship is a privilege n...

Probably fee is lost now.
I'd request to use current Passport (which would have correct name I assume?) the next time you book the test, to avoid such problems.

NICOP with new name should suffice. Get tickets on British Passport and show NICOP on airport in Pakistan.

Personally I would mention as much as I can remember. You can refer the periods through bank statements, payslips and other sources. Good luck.
