Having debts will not revoke your citizenship, however running away from creditors may be classed as fraud or criminal activity especially if creditors file a complaint. British citizenship is a privilege not a right, so you can loose it in extreme case. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishciti...

This is indeed "Insane". I think they have obligation to send the invitation letter to right address, call your local council where you will have ceremony and explain the situation, they will tell you if you can book ceremony and attend.

Highly unlikely. You may want to call and ask them if they have any plans to accommodate the gush of application on Friday.

If you consider her to be on holiday in India, you can just put your address here to keep matters simple. I assume her bank accounts and other financial will be linked to the address here.

You don't need NI number as other have already confirmed.
So, are you saying that because that meteor did not hit us, and HO is celebrating by not requiring NI numbers?
lol, they may be who knows, as such they usually don't celebrate anything...

Congrats Derivaz, good to know no mistakes. You can wait until January for your passport as it does not make any difference to you, but then I would say just get it done now itself while you are in the citizenship spirit, also then you can tuck away the citizenship certificate safely. It just takes ...

It is very very very rare HO will deprive someone of citizenship, as Ayyubi mentioned it will render a person stateless. Further, if someone commits crime here, they would like the trial to be held here and punish here as well.

You need to check if your country allows certain months grace period to travel on current passport, if they do then no need to worry, just use current Tanzanian passport and your ILR BRP card to return back, just be sure to return within grace period allowed or else you may have to pay a penalty.

You just have to weigh the benefits, the price £200. If you are not in a hurry to go anywhere and can do with current ILR then wait.

I understand that after having to wait 12 years and spending thousands of pounds, another £200 is almost nothing.

I don't think it will be that long, you have ample of time, if you can't get interview dates in nearby office at the most you will need to travel to get earlier dates.
