Hi all, good day!
I have just received my decree nisi, do I need to wait for DA to run my application process for British citizen?
Do I need to prove my marital status with these divorce forms?
thank you
Lopes

You don't need to prove your marital status, unless you are applying as spouse of a British citizen.
What is "DA" ?

You can apply for BC in your own right, you just answer the questions on status - once you have DA you are divorced in legal terms.

Also, applying in your own right as per Section 6(1) BNA 1981, you must have held ILR (settled status) for minimum 1 year before you can apply.
