Hi

I am elegible to apply for citizenship next month via tier 1 entrepreneur route.

Do i need a solicitor to apply for me? Or is it a straightforward application?

I dont want to risk it, however why pay solicitor fees if it is straightforward.

Thank you

No.

Yes,if you meet all the requirements. You route to ilr is irrelevant.

You can start the application but you must not submit it until the full 12 months on ILR is complete.

Be sure to check that you were physically in the UK exactly five years before the date you submit the application. That is the one requirement that the Home Office has no discretion to disregard.

Thank you for that.

I have completed the application and pressed on the declaration button.

I did not make the payment yet as i have to wait another week for my ILR to reach 12 months.

Is that acceptable?

Thank you

You could - if all your documents, tests and referees are in place.
Personally I would take it easy, double check you are complying with all the requirements, documents, referees, etc. A few days extra won't make a difference.

You load the referee declaration when you get them back signed. You don't need to take them to the appointment.

You must upload all documents supporting your application.
The appointment is for biometrics only unless you paid extra for anything else.
The appointment confirmation should tell you which documents to bring but it's normally just passport and BRP.
