Hi everyone!

Would appreciate any suggestions or tips for naturalisation application on basis of 3 years
Re: Following Queries

1) Does Home Office require copy of AN application form and copy of supporting documents as well along with original.

2) What supporting documents are required in addition to Passport, residence permit.

3) For language and knowledge, I assume LIUK and NARIC English Language assessment is required for non UK Degree Holders. I have non UK Degree and I had my ILR and LIUK before 28/10/2013. So what would I need in terms of knowledge and language. Secondly English assessment only confirms medium of teaching whereas HO also needs UK equivalent degree standard which I am not sure whether language assessment would cover it or not.

4) What can be attached to show proof of 3 years residence and work in UK e.g. P60, Council Tax Bill etc. I don not think HO requires another residential or tax proof in my case.

5) Just a general Question, is it mandatory to have valid passport for naturalisation application.

Thanks folks!

1. No
2. None if there is no gap between your passport in 3 years.
3. Check if your degree is recognised in PBS calculator. If not, NARIC assessment and letter from university confirming that degree was taught in english.
4. Nothing else is needed if you don't have gap in passports
5. No but if your passport has expired, then you need to show you were in the country since your passport has expired. They usually ask for payslips for that period.

Thanks for your reply.

I have P60's, would that be sufficient or do I need to attach pay slips as well. Secondly I did not start work immediately hen I came here, so do I need to attach proof of residence though I have attached council tax bills covering he entire period.

Secondly does spouse's certificate of naturalisation also need to submitted along with passport copy and if yes, would HO need a copy or original.

There is no option for citizenship on basis of spouse in PBS. Correct me if I am wrong.

No, if haven't already then you need to have ILR first, before you could apply for Citizenship.

Employment is not a requirement if applying as a spouse of BC.
You need to submit a copy of spouse's passport.
