Citizenship queries...

[uk_boy]

Hi Gurus,

Am planning to submit (My/Wife) british citizenship application (along with passport) next week at the NCS office. Kindly help with the below queries:

For knowledge of language requirement:

Query-1)I got my ILR last year in August 2015. Can I select the option below, or do I still need to send my PBS Printouts and 'University Letter' about degree taught in english.

'I met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October 2013'

Query-2) Am the director of a limited company, so under Tax-Reference field do I need to provide the UTR(10 digit unique reference number) number or the reference number shown on my P60 (Format: XXX / KAXXXXX)

Query-3) One of the referee(Police Officer) I have known him for the last 2.10 years, can I put his name as the first referee, or it should strictly be 3 years or more. Will it be a problem if i put his name as a referee1.

Query-4) Five years back I was contracting thorugh an umbrealla compnay, and it has now closed. Should i mention this under my employmennt history and should i mention if its closed down.

Query-5) Also, I got my employment history from HMRC, is it advisable to attach it along with the application.

Query-6) Am applying along with my wife, will it be one applicaiton for both of us, or separate application for each person.

Thanks for all your help in advance:

Yes, you can tick this.

Query-2) Am the director of a limited company, so under Tax-Reference field do I need to provide the UTR(10 digit unique reference number) number or the reference number shown on my P60 (Format: XXX / KAXXXXX)

Are you a director and an employee?

Query-3) One of the referee(Police Officer) I have known him for the last 2.10 years, can I put his name as the first referee, or it should strictly be 3 years or more. Will it be a problem if i put his name as a referee1.

Referees must have known you for 3 years.

Query-4) Five years back I was contracting thorugh an umbrealla compnay, and it has now closed. Should i mention this under my employmennt history and should i mention if its closed down.

You need to list ALL your employment as the form requires, regardless if a company has closed. They check with HMRC.

Query-5) Also, I got my employment history from HMRC, is it advisable to attach it along with the application.

Not necessary but you can if you wish.

Query-6) Am applying along with my wife, will it be one applicaiton for both of us, or separate application for each person.

EACH person applying has to complete a form and meet ALL the requirements. Assuming your wife has 5 years residence, including 1 year ILR and that you and her were both physically present in the UK on the exact same date in 2011 to that of your NCS appointment?

Dear CR001,

Thanks for your quick response

Are you a director and an employee?

Yes, both a director and an employee.

EACH person applying has to complete a form and meet ALL the requirements. Assuming your wife has 5 years residence, including 1 year ILR and that you and her were both physically present in the UK on the exact same date in 2011 to that of your NCS appointment?

I have been in the UK since 2010, however my wife entered the UK on November 2011, but then she qualified for 3 years period, and not 5 years period. Please correct me if am wrong. So, can she apply along with me.

Also, Can my Accountant act as Referee 1?

Please advise Guru CR001

Dear CR001,

Yes, both a director and an employee. Of the same company or self employed (part time) and employed by another employer?

So, can she apply along with me. She doesn't yet qualify for citizenship, so no, she cannot apply with you. She can only apply based on 3 years residence spouse of BC once you are approved and have received your citizenship certificate. If she applies fon the basis of 5 years residence, she can only apply in November on the corresponding date of when she first entered the UK, she has to have a full 5 years residence.

Also, Can my Accountant act as Referee 1? Yes, should be fine as long as he is registered with the relevant professional statutory body.

Thanks CR001 for your quick response:

Both director and employee of my limited company (same company).

Evidence of tax for self-employed applicants.

As am a director of a limited company so no need to send any Tax Related document, or I should send 'Comapny Account' statement/Self Assessment statement.

Please advise...!!!

Hi uk_boy,
I am in the same boat. Did you find out which reference number to use and what documents to send with your application. Please share if you figured it out.
Thanks.
