Re: British Citizenship and English test - TESOL

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.

Re: WHM+Tier 2+ILR now Citizenship?

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.

Re: Work related absence for last year

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.

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.

Re: MN1 child application section 3(1)

If one parent A is applying for British Citizenship, and parent B has settled (ILR visa for non-EU, PR for EU) in UK then child can apply with parent A.
This was the case with myself as well which went through without any problems. Good luck.

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.
