British Citizenship Application

Post by SROOZBEH » Tue Oct 29, 2019 6:34 pm

Hi

I am going to apply for UK citizenship through ILR after one year.
In online application form there is a section under Immigration detail that asks “Have you made any previous UK immigration Yes applications in the UK or abroad”?
I am not sure what does this mean? Do I need to list all my previous Tier 2 visa numbers ( I don’t know the application date) or it means if I have already applied for UK citizenship in the past?

Also asks "Enter your reference number if known". Is this Tier 2 visa numbers?

I appreciate if you could advise.

Thank you
Suzan

There should be a Reference No listed in your your ILR letter. State that.

Thank you.

I don't have a reference number as i made my application on premium service. Can i add my biometric card number instead?

Is "Name in which you made the application " refer to my own name? Also i can't remember the exact application date, is the month and year enough?

Thank you

Hello,

One of my referee lives in another city.

Is it ok to have her scanned signature as my referee declaration form or it has to be the original one?

Thank you

What is a scanned signature?
You must hold the original at some point in case HO may want to see it for whatever reason.
If ur in a hurry then, have your referee print the form, sign it, scan the document, email and also post it to you.
You can then print it, attach the photo, rescan it b&w and upload.

I have emailed it to my referee who lives in another city, she signed and scanned it and sent it back to me by email and then i attached my photo to the front page.
Is this enough for home office or i need to have her original signature on the second page of referee declaration form?

Thank you

Referee Declaration Form for British citizenship

Post by SROOZBEH » Wed Nov 06, 2019 8:04 pm

Hi,

I am going to apply for British citizenship and as a part of my application I need to have two referees.

Does anyone know that if Referee Declaration Form has to be original or the scanned version is acceptable?

One of my referee lives in another city,I have emailed the form to her then she signed it and scanned it back to me by email and after I attached my photo to the front page.

Is this enough for home office or i need to have her original signature on the second page of referee declaration form?

Many thanks
Suzan
