Naturalisation - Application Question

Post by kikzz77 » Wed Aug 17, 2022 3:48 pm

Hi
I am in the process of applying for Naturalization after 5 years route of ILR.
My ILR was issued in 2019.

I have few questions before I submit my application:
a) To prove my English qualification, can I use my IELTS certificate (dated 2013) for this application. I had used the same for ILR application.

b) Proof of Living in the UK for last 5 years - do I need to submit any other documents apart from my passport for this.

c) Are these the only documents required :
Passport(s) including stamps covering 5 years qualifying period.
ILR BRP
Life in UK
English Test/UK Degree
2 Referees

If you are non-EU national and have had stamps on the passport, you don't need anything else.

c) Are these the only documents required :
Passport(s) including stamps covering 5 years qualifying period.
ILR BRP

Yes (check referee requirements)

Thank you for the response.
The bit that confuses me is that my degree in India was taught in English. And I also have done the NARIC to confirm the degree is equivalent to the UK.
But, the I am being asked to say No to get the correct options.

If I say yes, the next question is :
Does your degree meet the English language requirement for this visa? ----> Not sure what I should say here.

Can someone please help me here.

It's just the way the system works. If you want to use your degree with NARIC, you go with YES.
But if you want to use your B1, then you have to go with NO.

It was entirely up to you.

Hi There,
One question before I submit my application.
It is regarding the consent form. Since I am mentioning my partner under my Current Partner details in the application, should I ask him to sign PART 2: Consent for the Home Office to verify third party information as well.
Please note that, I am attaching my marriage certificate as well under Life Events.
Thanks

The consent forms are for you to sign, to give consent to data inquiries UKVI will or may be making.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.
