My Ncs appointment experience

[Star30]

Hello all my freinds
I would like to share my Ncs experience for ppl who worry about they are missing p60 or missing payslips or missing anything
First u have to take into account that Ncs staff helping and he is not good in advices all they will do just make sure all application was filled . So don't worry about the application if u r not sure about any point leave it to Ncs day they will do it
Second : u don't have to bring all ur decuments with u the reason for that Ncs didn't see any decuments or asked me any question all they care about
All passport to cover 5 years period ( two )
Liuk will take original
Copy knowledge of Uk certificate
Make sure fee slip including
So I wondered how ukvi will check my 6 years period
I got all the original and all staff for 6 years !!!!

In my open ion if u send the application by post more easy to ukvi and faster than Ncs .

It seems the experience of members here with NCS is variable, depending on which council you use.
I chose the one where I work because of distance (5 mins walk), and they had a web based booking and payment system. The web site clearly stated it's not an advice or legal service, but also had helpful information as to the documents required for AN application.
The lady I dealt with was very knowlegable and dealt with all my questions very competently. She checked that all documents were included and made copies. Also called her HO contact to clarify a point. All was to my satisfaction. Lets hope I get my decision in a reasonable time.
Appointment cost £60, which includes taking certified copies of everything, which is worth the money alone, and was also useful because I was travelling abroad two weeks after the appointment, as I kept my passport.

NCS experience will vary depending on council and even the fees.

I only used NCS for two main reasons otherwise I would have applied by post.

1. Apply using JCAPS which can only be done via NCS. Quicker passport application, no interview to attend and no need to send Naturalisation certificate to passport office once you become a BC.
2. Keep all original documents

In my appointment the lady looked the my application Nd asked why u didn't write u national insurance number I said because it's only self employment and I'm an employer so my section is next page she said ooo yes then asked about my passport to cover 6 years I said yes two one expired and one valid then she said do u have ilr I said permanent card she checked hold on u have to wait one year after this PR issued I said no then. I had with copy of ukvi which explain that u don't have to wait one year after card issued so she read it said oook so she asked do u know exact date of ur acquiring PR status I said yes I gave my SAR paper which confirm the date of aquaring Nd she copied the SAR Paper and I asked her u won't need copy prove of my NI or my P60 she said no Nd she said if ho need any ducemtnts they will send you
So now I'm preparing for my reconsideration because i know o will get refused

NCS should be trained and up to speed on this as the concerned clerks and officials are supposedly OISC (level 1).

This is covered in guidance:
