Post by greatxander » Tue Aug 27, 2013 2:35 am

I already made an appointment on Wandsworth NCS on tuesday. I came to the UK via tier 4 visa on 27 August 2010 and got married to a BC on June 2011, i got my ILR last 18 July this year... Am I eligible for citizenship on 3 September this year, I just had my ILR for 2 months... some people say that I should wait for another year... please help...

They are wrong. Tell them to ring the home office which they can easily do.

Should i be concerned about this or is it just a typographical error? should i wait for the certificate to arrive?

greatxander wrote:its written on my acknowledgement receipt like this;

Mr. XXXYX
Flat xxx Xxxx
SWXX London

no first name just my last name which was mispelled, so i assumed it was typo only.. i emailed them already but no response..

"Please check the details are correct. If the details are incorrect then also you need to attend the ceremony and if the certificate has incorrect details, then to return the certificate to UKBA where they will send a correct one."

Read the letter thoroughly, it should mention the above or similar.

sorry I misunderstood "confirmation" taking it as "approval".

You mean acknowledgement you received from UKBA. If you have informed them, then hopefully they will action it.
