Hi Muleya

This means that it is now with a case worker and this should be the last stage when a decision is fo be taken .. hopefully if he/she didn't ask for more document, a decision should be taken as soon as you send what is requested.

All the best

Guys what happens to ILR if naturalisation application is refused for whatever reason? I think I made a mistake and didn’t provide my full
Work history. I registered a company about 9 yrs ago but never done any business and at the time of application I thought it was not necessary to mention but now I think I should have. I am going abroad for 2 weeks next month and if my application is rejected because of deception (thinking about the worst) then will that affect my ILR or re-entry to UK?

ILR is not affected if naturalisation application is refused. If you made a mistake write or email to UKVI explaining the correct details. Remember employment is not a pre-requisite for naturalisation, and a small mistake will not count against "good character" assessment.
ILR is given under immigration rules, citizenship comes under separate nationality law.
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.

Hi everyone.

I have submitted my application on 04 Dec and received an email acknowledging my application on 05 Dec 2019.

I have enquired the Nationality team via email but no response. I was not allowed to ask questions in the timeline thread but I believe i can ask here.

I have seen that some people state in their timeline that no decision letter and ceremony invitation letter received but they have booked the ceremony. I haven’t been to see if they have been informed by email. Does the Home Office notify the decision by email?
Thanks

Hi Albanian 33 , some people may get a reply to their request about the process of their application , so the HO reply may include that the application is approved and a letter is sent
Following that if the council is contacted , they may have the certificate and the ceremony can be booked.



This email will be only a reply from the Nationity team

Good luck

I have what should be a fairly straightforward question:
Do I need to update my settled status passport details before I can apply for citizenship?

I have had settled status for almost a year and I will be able to apply for citizenship in a couple of weeks.
However, I have replaced my passport and my settled status is associated with the old one. To update it I need to send my actual physical passport through snail mail to Liverpool and wait weeks for it to come back.
