Re: New citizenship form UKF

Hey mate, unfortunately there was an error in the spelling of my surname on my biometrics letter, so I have not proceeded with enrolment until I get further advice/my name gets fixed.

Re: Guidance on application of section 65 of 2014 act

It just says to enrol at http://www.vfsglobal.co.uk/Global/ and follow the instructions to find the nearest location. I haven't registered yet as I assume I can't proceed until my details are corrected. I'm lucky in the sense that the Australian population is quite concentrated within 4 main capital...

Re: Guidance on application of section 65 of 2014 act

I received 3 double-sided sheets and the envelope also included all of my belongings (passport, birth certificate). As I am residing abroad, they get you to go to your nearest 'VFS Global' site to take a photo and 10 fingerprint scans within 30 days of the date of issue on the letter. You should als...

Re: Guidance on application of section 65 of 2014 act

Interesting stuff, thanks for the update. I'm applying from Australia. I'm also applying under a provision that only requires the 80 pound citizenship fee. My account was credited by the 'Nationality Directorat Liverpool' about 5 weeks ago. I might make some enquiries in the coming days :)

Re: Guidance on application of section 65 of 2014 act

Any more news from fellow Section 65ers?

Re: Guidance on application of section 65 of 2014 act

Thanks for the speedy reply! My application was received by UKVI on 9 April 2015, however there has been no confirmation via either email or letter, and no fees have been deducted. I only mention it because the latest that I've seen fees being deducted on this forum is 4 weeks give or take. Sorry, I...

Re: Guidance on application of section 65 of 2014 act

Thanks for bumping this thread. I too have applied for registration under Section 65 but haven't heard anything in nearly 7 weeks since receipt by UKVI. I noticed that Sections 4E-4J haven't yet been inserted into the British Nationality Act 1981, which is possibly the reason why? http://www.legisla...

Re: MN1 (registration) application processing timelines (onl

I didn't plan on registering on this forum but your post got me slightly concerned. I too posted an application for registration of British Citizenship (not MN1) from a Commonwealth country and it was received by the UKVI office in Liverpool on 9 April 2015. No word since and no fees deducted as of ...
