So if the mother gets the PR card and wait 12 months then they can apply for their child's registration. So when the child will get the passport? You can apply for child's MN1 immediately after the mother gets ILR, you dont have to wait for 12 months or anything. After MN1 approval you can apply fo...

However I have now been informed that if you submit your application through a particular NCS then you would also need to attend your citizenship ceremony at the same council. This information was provided by the Croydon council. Surprising because I applied using Croydon NCS last year and the love...

The other thing I was concerned about was that my referees signed the form 5-6 months ago, would that be a problem?

Yes. Signatures are valid for up to 6 months only.

I would keep it within 1 month to avoid any complications.

I am afraid you will have to pay the new fees because HO will not receive it before monday. Also, even though NCS send the documents using special delivery, it is not guaranteed to get there next working day because NCS may not post it on the same day they received it - uderstandably they get the po...

In only ever received one letter which was asking me to call the council to book ceremony. Received on friday and called the concil on monday and it was booked without any issue.

I have a similar risky situation. I have got my BC recently and my wife has ILR . My daughter who is 2 years old and who is living in the UK for the last 8 months is on Dependent of Settled person visa running out after mid-2016. My question is if I apply for her naturalization now, is there a chan...

The simple solution would be to download the fees leaflet and use basic maths and english literacy.

See the section "Children" in the following topic.

During the last two years I have used NCS for myself, wife and son and had no issues with quick approvals in all cases. I would certainly recommend using NCS.

I pay lawyer for £750 and £80 fee for home office, this is cheapest I have someone other he say to me £1700, he say maybe successful application because I am husband of bitish wife. CRO001 yes he say to me we will do 'reconsideration from NR', he say this is best, maybe I win, maybe I lost he say, ...

I am confused. Have you been naturalized and received your naturalization certificate?

cheer up mate you are nearly there ..... like I said before the waiting time is quite normal, think about so many other applicants who applied months before you and are still waiting for a decision - consider yourself lucky and be happy.

My son has NICOP which was made just after his birth and apparently it is valid for 18 years. How did you manage to get a NICOP which is valid for 18 years? The validity was reduced to 7 years from 10 about 4 years ago. I don't know, I mean I did not do anything special. I applied in 2010 a little ...

It has to be booked within 21 days but can be anytime. You can delay, if you want Sorry , so Ceremony date has to be in next 21 days OR booking has to be done in 21 days for any date for ceremony ?(even date falling outside of 21 days) ? I don't think that's entirely accurate. The ceremony has to t...

Your son does not actually need a Pakistani passport to travel if he's got nicop which they normally make before issuing passports. Nicop is valid for 10 years usually as far as I'm aware and is more than enough to prove that he's a Pakistani citizen and doesn't require a visa to travel to Pakistan...

A propos Turkish Airlines, has anybody used the Free Touristanbul service that they provide? I would love to get some feedback befoe planning a flight around the transit :D http://www.istanbulinhours.com Damn it, I wish I had 6 hours or more stay. Family would have loved Istanbul... Ah well .... th...

Sounds pretty much standard to me. Your expectaion of 8-10 days is unrealistic. The only other option would be to have a private ceremony which you can have the very next day provided a slot is available.

Dear Member, Writing with regret, Unfortunately I didn't get any satisfactory reply from our members at Immigration board.com. I don't think so I have submitted a query before the immigration which will snatch the answerable quality from the members at immigration board. Or I consider the members a...

This is the question for help, I am not at hospitaL! i think £750 is very expensive, please help me, is it better to send with no lawyer? Can I excuse them for my overstay or is it finish? Please help me someone other help me? People have been trying to help you but you are not listening ..... may ...

hahaha .... I am not going to defend that which cannot be defended :) I agree with what you have said and whenever I travel alone I do tend to avoid PIA. The turkish flight I was getting for return journey around these dates was around 31hrs with a 21hrs waiting at the airport and it was costing muc...

Thanks for the reply akhurshid. I will speak with my agent. As for going with the PIA is concerened I pretty much agree with you but the dates I am travelling are the start and end of the children's summer holidays plus it concides with Eid. I agree that PIA is not very good in terms of service and ...

I am in a bit of a mess. I was booking airline tickets this morning with a travel agent for the whole family and he has asked me to send him the passport numbers and expiry dates to finalize the booking. I was just checking the passports and my son's passport is going to expire in June 2015 - We are...

Once you are British the ILR ceases to exist so strictly speaking you cannot travel on your ILR although some people have reported on the forum that they have done so. Immigration office might ask you all sorts of stupid questions too. Passport applications are quite quick, 5 weeks should be enough ...

Why would they? employment is not a requirement for BC.

Interview letter (asking you to book) comes by post.
I easily got the weekend appointment for about two weeks in future but this was Crawley passport office just outside london.
