British Citizenship - New Online Application

[hari.s]

A bit confused about this but would appreciate any help...

When doing NDRS+JCAP, what exactly are the photo requirements?

I know the referee doesnt need to countersign the form again but do I still need 2 photos for NDRS + 2 photos for JCAP with the referee certifying my likeness at the back of the passport photos?

Thanks,
Hari

check out this thread
british-citizenship/photographs-require ... 46875.html

I would go for 2 photos with name and DOB glued to both referee forms and another 2 for the passports...4 in total

I am not sure why but most NDRS council pages say "The photographs submitted with both applications must be identical"!!

Thanks. I already have 2 from each Referee and glued that to the referee declaration.

But what I am trying to figure out is if the other 2 for the passport application need to be signed at the back.
Would you know about this?

The council guy will certify them for you...it is the whole point of the appointment...so I wouldn't touch the 2 passport photos
as long as you have the photos with you, then it should be fine....you can always double double check when you call to book an appointment.

That's great - thank you.

The P60s etc. are only necessary if you are an EU application and your passport wasn't date stamped on entry to the UK, as proof of your residence. Employment is not a requirement for naturalisation.

The Online Checklist will not alter much (shouldn't at all) from what you see when you download a copy of the partially completed application form, is not extensive at all. You can fill in the 3rd step and proceed to step 4, from where you can/may still go back and edit your application. JUST DO NOT PROCEED PAST STEP 4 TO STEP 5 PAY AS YOU CANNOT GO BACK ONCE DOING SO.

When you go to Step 4 you will be able to download your referee forms in advance to get those sorted in advance.

Thank you very much for the answer!

Hi. I am an EEA national and have got PR for me and for my 7 years old who born here in UK, my question is do I have to naturalized my son or I can apply British Passport Directly?
Thanks

If your son was born before you attained pr then the child is not British yet and you have to register him on form MN1 as British. Costs £1022 currently. Passport is separate to this.

Thank you for the reply, I also want to ask I have been convicted back in 2010 for driving without licence and insurance, got 3 points on my provisional and £200 fine. does that will effect my naturalization application?

Hi there,

Apologies if I should be creating a new thread for this question (just let me know if that is the case).

I am going to apply for JCAP in a few weeks' time. One of the qualifying criteria on the HO website states-

Applying for a British passport
You can apply for a British passport at the same time as submitting your documents through the nationality document return service. You can do this if:

your personal details match your identification and your citizenship passport application forms

My current passport (Indian) has an old address on it- a previous UK address (in a different city than I currently live in). I owned this place hence thought it would be easier to have that on the passport but I recently decided to sell the place and it is going to be off my name in couple of weeks' time.

The address I will be filling out on the passport application form will be the one where I live (Edinburgh). Now, since this won't match my passport, I'm wondering if this would cause issues and prevent my passport application from going through? Or does the above criteria from HO website mostly refer to name, title, etc.?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

[CR001]

The personal details refers to your name, DOB etc and NOT an address etc.

Hi, I'm filling out online applications. And I have a problem with one question.

"How does the referee know the applicant"?

I know what to write, but I do not know what form !?
I mean:
1. Should I describe how and when I met the referee ?
OR
2. Should I describe his words how he met me ?!

So I have to write it as me or as my referee ?!?

I know that my referees have to sign it later.

I'm stuck on this question.
Thank you

Your referee has to write how they now you, ie work colleague or family friend.

No description of how you met etc needed.

Hi CR001

Thank you for you anwser .

But ....

It is ONLINE form not paper .

The paper version says that the referee has to fill it in, and it is not written in online.

I know that I need to fill this website online and print it. It must already be written: "How does the referee know the apliciant?" before my referee signs it, which means he agrees.

I understand that.

And how would you write it:
Here's the question:
"How does the referee know the apliciant?

And your answer is: "give me please example"

I'm asking because that's the question in the infinitive.

Or maybe enough:

Question:

"How does the referee know the apliciant?

Answer:

"GOOD" or "VERY GOOD"

I am sorry to find out so but I want to be sure that it will be ok

Thank you

Hi

Now I know that in the online question "How does the referee know the aplicant", I have to answer !.
And after printing sheets for referees
they must write how they know me.

I did not know that these are two different things despite the fact that it is one online application.



Thank you

No. You complete the information as requested online which asks as follows:-

Your first referee
Referees must:
• not be a relative, solicitor or agent of the applicant
• not be related to the other referee
• not be employed by the Home Office
• know or have known the applicant personally for more than 3 years
• they are willing to give full details of their knowledge of the applicant
• advise the Home Office of any reason why the applicant should not be registered
Referees must also not have been convicted of an imprisonable offence. A single non-custodial sentence may be disregarded if:
• it did not occur within the last 12 months
• there is strong evidence showing that the referee is of good character
Give your first referee's details. This referee must be the holder of a British Citizen passport (and either a professional person or over the age of 25)
First referee's title
First referee's given names
First referee's family name
Gender(Required)
Male
Female
Unspecified
First referee's date of birth(Required)
Enter date in the format DD MM YYYY

Address(Required)
Address (line 1 of 3)
Address (line 2 of 3 - optional)
Address (line 3 of 3 - optional)
Town/City
Postcode
Have they lived at this address for more than 3 years?(Required)
Yes
No

and then next question

Additional details for your first referee
What is their phone number?
What is their email address?
What is their profession?
Does your referee have a British passport?(Required)
Yes
No
What is their passport number?
How does the referee know the applicant?

and this information is submitted electronically ONLY WHEN YOU EVENTUALLY SUBMIT AND PAY FOR YOUR APPLICATION when you ready to do so.

The Referee Forms you print out have NONE of the information you submit on them, and each Referee need complete your full name on page 1 and then complete their full name, signature and date on page 2 once you have attached your photo to each.

Hi all,

Another couple of questions on the AN form-

1. Employment history- I am applying through 5 years stay + 1 year ILR route, do I just enter the proper jobs done or any part time jobs when I was at uni too on student visa?

2. Date of first entry in the UK- this is pretty self-explanatory until I looked at the guidance notes which state- "Enter the day you first arrived with a view to staying in the UK on a long-term basis...". I first came as a student with a view to do my 4 hear bachelor's degree. Is that the right date to enter?

Thanks for your help.

1. You need to state ALL employment for the last 10 years as the form asks.

2. First date of entry.

Hi, I need some advice.
here is my current situation.
I am enstranged from my mum(she sent me to my dad when i was 9), then i am now enstraged from my dad as he was not my biological dad after DNA testing requested by the home office but he helped me apply for my ILR which i got in 2014.

When filling out the online form, what do i write when i dont know exact dates, but i know the months?
Also i only have my current passport which i got in october 2014. since i am required to prove that i have been here for the last 5 years and i plan on sending the application in january, will a letter from my 6th form be good enough to cover the missing dates.
(6th form was from sept 2013-july 2015)and i have payslips from my first jobs in september 2014 onwards).

Also when filling in previous address, do i need to my university accomodation address then when i moved back home and then when i moved back to uni again, because each address is different so i.e
Uni-09/15-06/16
Home-06/16-09/16
Uni-09/16-06/17 etc

Much Appreciated

Hi,

Does anyone one know what the following question refers to:

Do you have any dependants not applying with you at this time?

Does it mean any members on dependant visa (i.e my wife) or dependants, as in children ? I initially answered this as no assuming it was referring to children but wondering if I should enter my wifes details as she is on PBS dependent visa.

Good morning all ;
just question regarding the Online application, what documents need to be sent as proof of residency for the last 5 years? they motioned that the bank statement and Bills are no longer useful as a proof of residency for this application. should i use only my P60s and payslips or should i send the old passport with the current one to show the stamps for any travel i did during the past 5 years?
