Hi all,
I’m about to apply for the Naturalisation/British Citizenship and I have a few questions regarding this. Appreciate if I can get some advise on this matter.
I cannot find my test pass notification letter for Life test in the UK which I obtained back in 2012 for my ILR, to whom can I send an email to request for this? Does anyone have a sample of the email to send this request.?
Professional Referee – Can a retired GP qualify as a Professional Referee?
I also make a list below, Is there any other compulsory supporting documents that we need when submitting an online form/application.
2 referees
Fees : £1250 + £80 ( ceremony)
Passport
6 months bank statement ( credit card etc)
wedding certificate.
P60s & payslips
Copy of Life test in the UK
proof of your knowledge of the English language
evidence of Indefinite Leave to Remain ( Biometric )
Many thanks.

You might have to retake it.

Note sure where you got this from. The fees increased on 10th April. It is £1500 for citizenship, which includes the £130 group ceremony fee.

Hi all thank you for the advise.
I have called the LITUK support line and the officer has been extremely helpful. Apparently, because I took the test over a decade ago, my details has been passed to the Home Office, he then advise me to write a cover letter and outline the details of when I took the test, date, year, location etc.and submit it together with my application. I wonder if any of the immigration board members has the similar issue before, and has a copy of the cover letter that I can look as a reference.?
As for the professional referee, can a holder of ILR other nationality, who work as a professor in the UK University qualify as a professional referee, or does he or she has to be a British citizen?
I am aware that the second referee has to be a British citizen.
Note on the fee. Thanks for the heads up.
If anyone can advice on the above questions that would be fab.
Thanks again.

Re professional referee, they can be any nationality, immigration status is not an issue as long as they qualify as referee.
Re LITUK can’t comment as it’s not that common a scenario. Certainly explain the background in a covering note, and mention your conversation with LITUK person. Hopefully that will be sufficient.

If you want to be on the extra safe side, you may consider sitting for the exam again. You could also retrieve your ILR application as you will have probably submitted a reference number there - or do a SAR and see if details are quoted there. We don't have templates for cover letters.

Correct me if I am wrong but £130 for the ceremony is additional to the application fee of £1500 making it a total of £1630
