That's so kind of you CR001. Thank you for clarifying all my questions and I am sure that I can go ahead and confidently submit the application.

And thanks for clarifying on the photo that should be attached on the Referee Declaration forms.

May I also know how much time will it take to get the British Passport for the kids?

Kind Regards !

You can only apply for passports once they are approved for citizenship and receive the certificate.

Children can apply for a British passport using the 1 week fast track service, which costs a bit more than standard service.

Thank you CR001. Best Regards !!!

With your support, I am almost there but just found out that I had selected NO while trying to fill the details Under Immigration details Sections; I realised that it should be YES and hence trying to fill the answers for the following questions; as usual, confused and hence seeking your help again please.

Have you made any previous UK immigration applications in the UK or abroad? YES

Name in which you made the application: Should I provide the name of the Kids or Name of the application type, for ex: PBS Dependant?

Enter your reference number if known: When I submitted the applications for my Kids back in India, Application ID was generated in the application form. Do I need to provide this Application ID or Should I provide the BRP Number which I received after successful application?

Were your fingerprints taken as part of this application: I really don't remember whether Finger prints were taken or not? Is this really a mandatory field to fill? Kindly advise.

Kind Regards !

Just checking you are completing the form MN1?
Have you made any previous UK immigration applications in the UK or abroad? YES
Yes, all applications made.
Name in which you made the application: Should I provide the name of the Kids or Name of the application type, for ex: PBS Dependant?
It is the PERSON'S name not the visa name.
Enter your reference number if known: When I submitted the applications for my Kids back in India, Application ID was generated in the application form. Do I need to provide this Application ID or Should I provide the BRP Number which I received after successful application?
It does say 'IF KNOWN'.
Were your fingerprints taken as part of this application: I really don't remember whether Finger prints were taken or not? Is this really a mandatory field to fill?
They would have been taken, simply state yes.

Dear CR001 & Guru's,

With all your inputs, I am now ready to submit the application today ; gathered all sorts of documents and they are ready for upload as well.

And couple of queries before I submit please -

- When I applied for Settlement last time, we lived in different address and now living in different address when applying for my kids Citizenship. Can you advise whether this will have any impact on the application please? Should I inform the change of address first and then submit the application at a later time?

- And the other question is about moving to different address after submitting the application; we are planning to move to another address is couple of months time so can you kindly advise whether I can provide the new address details after submitting the applications?

- Regarding Proof of Father / Mother parental responsibilities, I am thinking to provide the following proofs only. Do you think this is enough to produce? If not , can you kindly advise what else docs can be produced please?

- Kid's birth certificates where both of our names present


Best Regards !

Hi All,

I have now finally submitted my application at Sheffield UK Visa Immigration Centre.
Can you advise how I can get to know the progress of this application please?

Again, thank you so much for responding to all my messages with so much patience and with out your guidance I wouldn't have submitted the application confidently.

With Best Regards !
