so i have my form all filled up, just to double check if anyone would be kind enough to confirm it's all ok, would really appreciate it.

1: fee and AN form with picture

2: 2 passports (one current one and one old one with stamp of entry in uk)

3: life in uk test pass


those are the only 3 things needed or do i have to send proof of address like a bank statement or my college letter ?

i'm currently a student.

please advise, thanking you

and may God bless all of you for helping people like me!!

The last page of the application form contains a list of the required supporting documents. I suggest you use that to check.

Thanks Jambo

one last question, i only just picked this up (silly me)

my passport expired in april 2012, because i didn't leave the uk in last 5 years, i didn't need to use my passport as such

so my question is, when i send my An application with my current passport (which has not expired) will it be ok ?

or

do i need to renew my passport first and then send it with my An application along with my expired passport ?

There is no requirement to have a valid passport so you can apply with an expired one. You will need to prove that you have been in the UK since the passport expiry date. See last page of the application form for examples of such evidence.
