Could please tell us the documents neeed to apply, I was filling the naturalisation application and have few questions in regards to it

My parents names are slightly different in my current passport , do i have to mention the correct name on naturalisation application or can I correct i while i apply for British passport ?

for Trips outside the UK, do I need to mention it since the grant of ILR or I need to mentioned all previous travels ?

Can I add my HO reference from ILR in the naturatlisation application form for caseworker to make his/her work easy ?

Obviously you don't qualify to apply yet.

Have you taken the time to read the Form AN Guidance Notes??

My parents names are slightly different in my current passport , do i have to mention the correct name on naturalisation application or can I correct i while i apply for British passport ?

Your parents names are irrelevant for naturalisation or passport application. Their names will NOT be in your British passport.

for Trips outside the UK, do I need to mention it since the grant of ILR or I need to mentioned all previous travels ?

Naturalisation is based on the 5 years immediately prior to date of application.

Can I add my HO reference from ILR in the naturatlisation application form for caseworker to make his/her work easy ?

You need to complete the form and put the information it asks for. It has nothing to do with 'making a caseworkers job easier'!! You either meet the requirements or you don't, it is as simple as that!!

For Referee, is there any specific requiements ?

Read the guidance notes!!

Dear Mods and Experts,

Does My son under 18 and my wife have to wait for 1 year after getting ILR to apply for British citizenship or can they apply straight away after ILR as a child and spouse of British citizen ( Under me )

What would be correct form for naturalisation for them

Thanks

You are not British yet and can't even apply until October 2025 so unsure why you are asking this question now when you aren't anywhere near to becoming a British citizen.

Depends when your family qualifies for ILR and when you become British and whether your spouse meets the 3 year requirements for citizenship.

Citizenship applications can take up to 6 months, sometimes longer.

Your route to ilr is completely irrelevant.

She can apply for citizenship without waiting 12 months on ILR if you are British and she meets all the requirements based on 3 years residence.

If they got ilr at the same time as you, then you can all apply for citizenship once you have held ilr for 12 months.

Also for citizenship you don't need to submit the bunch of documents that you likely submitted for ILR or previous visas.

Naturalisation is not an immigration application, it's a very straightforward process with an online form that guides with simple and clear instructions. No need to attach a pile of documents or any extraordinary details.

When did your situation become regular i.e. when did you get a valid visa after this happened?

I would wait until 2027 when you obtained a valid visa again to return to the UK as deportation is quite a serious matter.

Illegal entry
Where you are not disregarding immigration breaches relating to lawful residence, if
a person has previously entered the UK illegally, it will normally be appropriate to
refuse the application for citizenship if the illegal entry is confirmed as having
occurred during the preceding 10 years. If the date of entry cannot be confirmed, or if
the person subsequently goes to ground, or absconds, the period of 10 years starts
from the date on which the person last brought themselves to or came to the
attention of the Home Office.
Failure to comply with immigration requirements may be evidenced by service of a
notice of liability to administrative removal. The IS151A liability to administrative
removal notice was replaced on 6 April 2015 by a RED.0001 form, or where an application is also being refused at the same time, by a single decision notice which
incorporates a notice of liability to removal. However, given the length of residence
an applicant requires in order to apply for citizenship, IS151As will continue to be
relevant until early 2025. This can show that a person came to notice as someone
who breached the conditions of their leave, remained in the UK unlawfully without
leave, or entered the UK illegally. Relevant Home Office database records such as
Atlas, should be checked to see why the liability notice was served.

I am not entirely sure about this - however review the guidance https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... racter.pdf

I am not entirely sure how to interpret the highlighted part above - to me the safest bet is to wait 10 years since you lawfully re entered but I could be wrong.

Note that most of the guidance specifically on deportation is classified so we don't have much input on how it is considered.

Regardless on when you apply I would make efforts to show that your character has changed - eg through volunteering in the community.

It depends on when you intend to apply. Referee declarations should be dated in the last month leading to the application.
