Application response support

[engrcj]

Hi all,
Wondering if there's a list of evidence required for the application - i'd be grateful!

I see that the Biometric appointment is required but saw IDV app? can be an option so not to attend the appointment physically - has anyone done this successfully?

Thank you for your help!

The list will be generated when you complete your application based on your answers.
HO will work out if your biometrics could be reused, so you can use the app, or you need to attend an appointment. They'll let you know.

Loads of people used the app check out the timeline thread.

[engrcj]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[engrcj]

Hi all,

hopefully quick question - I will be able to submit the application in 3 weeks.. can I start an application and save?
Thank you so much!

[kamoe]

Yes.

[engrcj]

Thank you so much!

Hi all,

I'm working on my application and I found the questions below a bit tricky..
Would you kindly help me navigate..

Thank you for your time in advance

- Have you made any previous UK immigration applications in the UK or abroad?
Would it be 'Yes' for my case? My route was Tier 2 - Skilled Worker - ILR

- Do you meet these residence requirements?
* You must not have been outside the UK for more than 90 days in the last 12 months
- Please tell us which of the requirements you do not meet and the reason you do not meet them:
I was outside the UK for 96 days - should I say 'No' or 'Yes'?

- Are there any reasons why you cannot meet the requirements to become a British citizen (for example, you have had too many absences from the UK)?
Do you think I can click 'No'? since 6 days over isn't 'too many' absences?

Hi all,

Thank you for your time in advance

- Have you made any previous UK immigration applications in the UK or abroad?
Would it be 'Yes' for my case? My route was Tier 2 - Skilled Worker - ILRThis refers to all the applications you made to enter the UK, remain in the UK, up until ILR.

- Do you meet these residence requirements?
* You must not have been outside the UK for more than 90 days in the last 12 months
- Please tell us which of the requirements you do not meet and the reason you do not meet them:
I was outside the UK for 96 days - should I say 'No' or 'Yes'? Obviously a NO. You don't want to start your application with a lie.

- Are there any reasons why you cannot meet the requirements to become a British citizen (for example, you have had too many absences from the UK)?
Do you think I can click 'No'? since 6 days over isn't 'too many' absences?You "might" get a discretionary waiver.

[engrcj]

Thank you Ticktack!

Sorry a silly question possibly

Previous application details
Name in which you made the application
- name refers to 'the application for XXX' so Indefinite Leave to Remain, Skilled Worker, Tier 2 General right?

- Are there any reasons why you cannot meet the requirements to become a British citizen (for example, you have had too many absences from the UK)?
Do you think I can click 'No'? since 6 days over isn't 'too many' absences? You "might" get a discretionary waiver.
--> should I click Yes and hope to get a discretionary waiver? I saw the official guidance 'Total number of absences normally disregarded - 100 days' sorry.. not sure what to click yes or no as it's only asking that

Thanks again for your time and support!

1. It is YOUR name, not the visa category name.

2. It is NO. You are completely overthinking this 96 days absence!!

[engrcj]

Huge thanks CR001 as always..

hopefully one last piece of advice request..

Residence requirements - You must not have been outside the UK for more than 90 days in the last 12 months
Do you meet these residence requirements? No
Please tell us which of the requirements you do not meet and the reason you do not meet them: I stayed outside the UK for 96 days in the last 12 months. All the trips were much needed to spend time with families since I wasn't able to travel under COVID-19 international travel restrictions in previous years.

What do you think my responses are?
I know you said I'm overthinking this 96 days of absence but it is indeed more than 90 days? Thanks again.

Can anyone shed a light on the below?

[CR001]

It clearly states for the last 5 years. What exactly isn't clear in the question??

Where else in the form exactly have you already listed this? There is only one question. The other question is regarding countries you have lived in.

I painted the words in red. Apparently, you missed it.

[alterhase58]

All trips.
Naturalisation is separate from immigration with it’s own requirements under the British nationality act.

Hi all,

I received the ILR letter that I was granted on 11th Dec 2021. On my ILR BRP, the issue date is 12th Dec 2021.

May I submit my citizenship application on 12th or 13th Dec 2022? Thank you for your continued support!

13th one extra day for good measures. It costs you nothing.

[kamoe]

Agree.

To the OP: Also, there really isn't much difference by applying a day later, really. I have seen slight variations of turnaround times, where someone who applied a day later than someone else receives a decision a few days earlier. It really won't bring you any significant benefit to apply on the day, only the doubt of having applied too early.

If you have waited all the while, a day more should not be an issue for you compared with being declined for the excitement of wanting to apply on exactly the day of meeting requirements.

[engrcj]

Thanks all!

I'm very close to completing my application - huge thanks again.

I have two referees - hope you can review the details and let me know if it is okay.
1st referee - teacher with a British passport i believe this is perfect
2nd referee - lead business analyst with a British passport
I'd think that my 2nd referee's profession is close to 'director, manager or personnel officer of a VAT-registered company' listed on the guidance page - do you think this is okay? can I submit her profession as is?

over the age of 25
not related to me
not related to the other referee
not my solicitor or agent representing you with this application
not employed by the Home Office
