Hello Members How tolerant UKBA is on mistakes committed by the referees? Just spotted that one of my referee put the date of the signature as 3rd OCT 2013 and according to the guideline they should have put 03/10/2013 instead. Email was also written in lower case which might be acceptable? Anyone i...
I may be wrong here but even if husband and wife are applying together they have to fill individual AN forms? At least thats the impression I got from the NCS people when I called for an appointment this morning. You confused me further. It can't be separate forms because when husband and wife appl...
Hello Members As we know that new changes are coming into force from 28th October. UKBA might release the new form days in advance so that anyone who is applying on after 28th October will have the new form available. Do any senior members know how this will work? As I am applying just before 28th O...
There is no problem if the referee signed before the main applicant. That is normal, you put the date you actually signed the form. Thank you Amber for putting my mind to rest. I think I will sign the application with same date as the referees which will be a month and few days before my NCS appoin...
Hello Members Can someone confirm if their signature date in section 6 was after the signature date of the referees and their application was successful without any problems? E.g. Referees signed on 1st September, 2013 and the applicant signed the application on 14th October, 2013 for an appointment...
Here is a link to a recent article about the strike (with a Q+A at the end). They say deliveries won't be impacted... but not sure if that will actually be the case! Also note the article says strike action could commence from mid October. From the article: Q. What does it mean for people who use R...
I think there will be no plans and the correspondence will be sent using the Royal Mail as they normally do. This is what they did in previous wave of postal strike few years back. I remember that when I was going through my Tier-1 visa process. It was nightmare and a lot of hassle for many applicants
Imran22, It is natural to be anxious about imaginary issues in the final leg of the immigration journey. You can get the signature of the referee 1 month before you actually get to submit your application or if you are a person who plans meticulously you could have even got their signature earlier....
Hi Guys, Here is my query .I have applied for Naturalisation on March 6th 2013 . My References are dated February 2013 & My Form (AN) Declaration on 1st March . My question is : Lawyers say as iam eligible on March 5th 2013 my References & Application dated before that so Application will be Reject...
Hello Members I have got my referees to sign the form yesterday but I haven’t filled section 6 yet. My question is does the applicant’s signature date in section 6 (Declaration by applicant) has to be earlier or equal to Referee signature date in section 5? I can’t find anything regarding this in gu...
Can anyone who has recently applied tell me how the transaction exactly appear on your credit/debit card statement? E.g. “Home office” or “UKBA” or "Home office London" etc.
Members I was reading about the draft and apparently it goes through the same process as a normal cheque albeit it gives the receiver peace of mind as it is already cleared money. Now the question is do we know if home office put the application on hold for cheque and let it through for the draft? T...
Hello members I am back again with a silly question 3.4 Address of employer or business On my P60 the employer’s registered address is different to where I am based. How should I tackle this issue? Should I put my employer’s registered address under this question and put the address where I am based...
That is true, for me NCS put name, date of birth on back of photograph and stuck it to form with glue stick, I was to ask him why put name and dob if its going to be stuck, but for some reason just didnt bother to. This is in July. Neoseal when you went for the appointment did you had it stapled to...
Well it would be pointless to put a name and DOB on the back of a photo and the glue it down wouldn't it? Well I was about to say the same to the operator but I stopped myself not to offend him. I was about to ask what is the purpose of putting the name and date of birth at the back when UKBA will ...
I called to book NCS appointment and the person in his instructions told me to write my name and date of birth at the back of the photograph and stick with glue on the reference page. He said that do not use the staple or pin. According to him this guideline is given to them in July. Later in the ev...
1.9 Pakistan 2.1 Give the first date you landed and place (like Heathrow, Manchester ) which ever airport you came in . 3.1 Give only your regular job (night jobs, weekend jobs etc to be strictly personal :-)) 3.2 Check page 15 of form AN and you will know the list of supporting docs needed. If you...
Hello members, I am filling up my AN form and have some questions. I will be grateful if somebody can answer them. Apologies in advance for some silly questions but you know how nervous one can be while filling these forms. 1.9 Your present nationality Should I write Pakistani or Pakistan? 2.1 Date ...
We all know that the language rules are changing around 28th October. As I am eligible to apply from 15th October I want to make sure I weed out any possibilities of my application returning without a decision. One of the things is payment. I know some cards companies block the request and sometime ...
Imran22, There are a few risks which you need to keep in mind if you dont change your address which could come back to bite your Naturalisation application. Thanks again for the post RV. I think I wasn’t clear enough in my previous post. I meant if it is good idea to move home just before putting i...
Hello members Thanks VR for your post. A question just sprung to my mind. If someone changes the address it takes a month or couple to get the databases updated. I think I have noticed this when I ordered my Experian report in the past and the data was out by about 2 months. Do you think changing ad...
The question is what is other member’s experience on amending the address with home office and do they normally do it within promised 72 hours? Also if the fall back option of redirection with post office works?
Hello members, I need some advice from everyone on applying for citizenship and possibility of address change while I made an application. The situation is that I will be eligible to apply from mid-October, I also need to apply before the end of October otherwise the new law will come into force and...
