Hi All,

Could some one kindly explain the steps to apply for naturalization / citizenship and obtaining the British Passport?.

Which is the route i need to fill the online application form and waiting times to get a decision on the application form. ( any web URL of the online application form )

Are there any super priority service also available on this .. I doubt that.

How soon i can apply for naturalization from the date i obtained ILR ( 12 months completion or 28 days before 12 months competition ? )

If possible outline the OCI card for Indian Origin British Passport holders.

I have recently received my ILR in the Long Residence Route ( SET - LR) after completing 10 years living in UK.

Thank you for your help on this.

This forum has been always of great help to common man. Very much appreciated.

If there are any other item in this forum explain the same please point out that as well. thanks.

If this question has to move to any other relevant place kindly do so moderator/ admin. Thank you.

You cannot apply for citizenship yet. You must hold ILR for 12 months first.

1. Apply online.
2. Book UKCVAS appointment and upload documents.
3. Attend appointment.
4. Wait to hear back from HO, it can take up to 6 months, sometimes longer.
5. Once you receive approval letter, you book your ceremony.
6. Attend the ceremony. You are only British once you have attended your ceremony.
7. Once you have your naturalisation certificate, apply for a passport.

There is only ONE route. Form AN - https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... 1626788862

No there is no fast track option for citizenship applications or fist adult passports.

You must hold ILR for the FULL 12 months first. There is NO 28 days early concession for citizenship.
