Hi everyone,

I’ll be applying for naturalisation next week through NCS, and plan to travel abroad for a couple of months after the biometric enrolment. Since there won’t be anyone to check my letters, can you please tell me if HO also sends emails to applicants when asking for additional information or original documents?

Thank you!

[bruteforce]

They may or may not. They would normally write to you if they need additional documents or information giving you 14 days or so to respond.

[rzzz2]

Thank you very much for your reply! Looks like I'll need a mail forwarding service then :s

[bruteforce]

Forwarding mail domestically takes extra few days to arrive, you are thinking of forwarding it abroad, would that be a good idea?

[rzzz2]

yeah been wondering about that too, might be better to use a mail scanning service... HO really should start using emails more

[bruteforce]

Mail scanning service?

[rzzz2]

think they scan the letters that you forward to them. Did you have something better in mind though mate?

You are asking for trouble really, why not delay your application until you are back from your 2 months of travels?
