Application form query

Post by Davin » Fri Feb 08, 2019 10:29 pm

Hi, I am completing online application form 'Apply for naturalisation as a British Citizen'. There is this question

'Have you previously made any other UK immigration applications in the UK or abroad?'

Does this refer to all the applications I have made in past 11/12 year starting from my very first application till ILR application?

Regards

Thank you for your response. I have two more questions please.

I know there is requirment to provode 2 references. 1 british national personal reference and one professional reference.
Do i need to use british national for professional reference as well?

I have option to use non british accountant or I have a friend who is a contractor and director of his own company which is VAT registered think. Can I use him for professional reference or non british accountant is better option?

Many Thanks

No, British national not required for professional reference.
You can use the company director. As long as the profession is on the approved list, there is no preferred option among those.

Thank you very much for your help.

I have few more tiny queries:

1 - Exact dates are not know for previous applications and bio-metrics. Is it OK to use approximate month and year without day OR should I make a DSAR request to obtain this information from HO?

2 – Similarly for my previous jobs if I don’t remember exact start date, can I just use month and year or I need to obtain dates from employers?

3 - If my referees don’t live in the same town as I do, would it be acceptable?

Many Thanks

That is true for previous applications but For previous jobs it requires a Day as well. Its not letting me proceed without a date so I guess I will have to contact all previous employers to get the start and end dates. I have Month and Year but cant remember the day.

I was reading the guidance and different posts about being in the UK 5 years prior to application date. If I go through ILR (LR) route (ILR + 1 year) for citizenship, is it still the same rule? i,e being physically present in the UK 5 years prior to application date ?

Thanks

Thanks for your response.

2 more questions please.

Trips outside UK section:

I was on holidays for 2 months. Do I need to mention deatils of all coutries I visited during that time or just Departure date form UK and Return date to UK. I went to Pakistan and then form Pakistan I went to KSA for 2 weeks. From KSA I went back to pakistan and then returned to UK from Pakistan.

2 - I have seen some posts about scanning all pages of passport but some have mentioned just pages with stamps on them. Which one is correct. Shall I scan all pages of all 3 passports I have ?

And what other documents I need to scan?
I guess my life in the UK test
ILR BRP
Uni Degree


Thanks for your help.

Hi

Can someone please help with first question.

Trips outside UK section:

I was on holidays for 2 months. Do I need to mention deatils of all coutries I visited during that time or just Departure date form UK and Return date to UK. I went to Pakistan and then form Pakistan I went to KSA for 2 weeks. From KSA I went back to pakistan and then returned to UK from Pakistan.

Just want to confirm if its enough to just mention exit and entry dates from UK.

Regards
