Note from moderator CR001 : You do realise that you have to do your biometric enrollment again. They don't use your previous one. They will send you a letter to enroll them at the Post Office.

Reply from zimchic :No didn't realise I have to do it again , I didn't complete the section for the biometric as I thought I had it done and send this in with my biometric letter, it's so confusing and hope they don't reject my application because of this

[Sudden]

Eligibility criteria: 10year long residence + 1year ILR
Language criteria met: Life in the UK test taken after Oct 2013. However, at NCS, copy of my UK degree was also taken. I pointed out that the application form said I didn't need this since I took it after Oct 2013, but response was just "I know what it says, but this is needed for citizenship". Found it odd, but since I had my degree anyway, didn't see a downside.
