Recieved BC letter

Post by asimwelcomes » Wed Aug 02, 2017 1:16 am

Hello Everyone

I have recieved my BC letter and my application has been successful. They mention that I should not contact my local council until I recieved invitation for ceremony from my local council. They also mentioned that i will get the letter within 3 weeks.

Although I read in this forum that some people call the local council and book their ceremony date. Can I also call them before I recieve the letter from them?

My wife FLR M is due and I am applying within a week my question is can I now put my Nationality as British? Or just write the Indian ?

Thank you very much. For my naturalisation application I applied on 27 March 2017. Home office recieved the application on 31 March. Recieved the acknowledgment 11 April. BRP done on 9th May. Recieced a letter from HO to send the Original passport two weeks ago. Yesterday got the letter with original passport.

For wife FLR M application I am going to apply next week by post.

You will not be British until you have attended your Citizenship ceremony. You must state 'Indian' in your wife's application form.
(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
