Hi All, I am in the process of applying for settlement visas for my wife and daughter. I have a few questions to ask please: 1. In the financial requirement part, it says i need to be earning 22,400 a year before tax. How will it be calculated if I was working for the company for 6-7 months? I have ...

Registration under Section 4B gives you British citizenship by descent ( Section 14(1)(d) of the BNA 1981 ), which means that children born to you abroad, even after you acquire British citizenship, do not inherit your British citizenship. What is the current age of the child? Section 3(2) does not...

Hi all, I need some help and advice again. I have applied for registration (not naturalisation) as a British citizen under Section 4B last year from Hong kong, everything went well and I was granted the citizenship and got my British passport etc. I would like to know whether my daughter is entitled...

The Home Office approved my UKM citizenship registration request last week. My approval letter tells me to wait to hear from the British Consulate General in Los Angeles about the citizenship ceremony. It could be up twelve weeks, the letter says. Does anyone have experience - or even a guesstimate...

Hi, I applied for citizenship in November 2016. Along with my application, I had sent all my original certificates; passport, ILR, driving licence etc. and prepaid 1st class signed for envelope to return, however they haven't returned it back yet. I can't understand why they are taking so long to r...

Did you get the invitation letter immediately? Or you had to wait? If so, how long? I think I was approved sometime in June. I never received any approval letter or email. Received the ceremony invitation from my local consulate at the end of August. AFAIK, Home Office delivers citizenship certific...

Zed, Thank you for that detailed information, it was very helpful. I wasn't sure which route to take in regards to applying the BC passport. It's been almost 1 month since the issue of the approval letter, so far, no ceremony invitation letter yet. Did you get the invitation letter immediately? Or y...

Hi Imran, I got an approval letter which says the same thing except it's says 12 weeks (not 3 weeks) however I am not located within UK. It's almost a month since the approval letter was issued, was wondering also how long I needed to wait and whether this letter is coming from the home office or th...

Hi All, Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for sharing their feedback and help during these past 6 months. I'm pleased to say that I've received a letter from the HO today (enclosed was the letter along with my supporting documents) and my citizenship application was successful. I'm just waitin...

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I called HO the other day and someone called me back yesterday. Told me a decision was made and had given me a tracking number (I live outside of the UK) to track the letter from HO. It was for International sign for. I haven't sent them any pre-paid envelope along...

Hi All,

I have a question to ask. When you have received the decision letter from the Home Office, was it sent as standard regular mail or it was registered and signed for?

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

Hi Guys! Thank you for your responses. Yes, I have emailed them already at the addresses below: FurtherNationalityEnquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk UKVINationalityOverseas@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk Do you have the home office postal address instead? I want to send a hard copy through the post as well. Tha...

Hi Everyone! I have applied for British Citizenship and it's past 6 months now and I really need to make some follow up enquiry. I have tried to email HO but no one has gotten back to me yet. I would like to try and send a formal enquiry through the post. Does anyone know the postal address? Is the ...

Hi Everyone! I'm in the same situation. I have applied for British Citizenship and it's past 6 months now and I really need to make some follow up enquiry.

Thank you guys for the information.

I will write a letter to him if I do not hear from the HO once my 6 months is up.

Hi,

Thanks for the information provided.

Sorry to ask but what's the best way to contact that MP?

Sorry, forgot to mention that i'm outside of the UK so contacting an MP does not apply in my case.

Yes, I understand that part.

I would only like to know what's the best way to follow up if I haven't received any feedback once the 6 months is up.

Thanks.

Hi Everyone, Quick question to ask. I've applied for British Citizenship (Form BOS) in April. I'm still waiting for the results after having done my Biometrics in May. Anyone knows how I could contact them to follow up? I tried emailing NationalEnquiries but only received an automated response. Any ...

Hi Zed, Best to wait for the HO to respond to your application. I have also recently applied for BC using Form B(OS), just had my biometrics done last week and the hard part now is to wait for the results. I have only sent them the documents that were stated in the guidebook and it did mention that ...

It's just over 4 weeks, and we have had Easter holiday weekend and the May Bank Holiday so 3 bank holidays in all, since you applied. Suggest sit tight and give it a few more days or so. Yes, you will be invited to enrol biometrics. Did you include a pre-paid envelope for secure return of your docu...
