citizenship timeline questions

Hi all, I have two questions. Thanks in advance. 1. Has anyone received an email from Home Office requesting more information about their application? If yes, how long did it take you from their email to the decision email? 2. Having followed the naturalisation timeline thread I'm noticing the major...

Question about documents

Hi everyone, I am a naturalized US citizen applying for the fiancee visa (Apply to Join Family in the UK). Do you think I should include my naturalization certificate along with my passport? (on the certificate it says that any copy of the certificate- notarized or certified, is not official). Thank...

Re: Fiancee & Spousal Visa Application Questions

does the date I put down have an influence on the application/process itself? No. You must marry WITHIN 6 months of arriving. Yes, I am aware of the 6 month rule. I meant, what do they do with the date that I put down for that question? Additionally, how far in advance can I start the process of ac...

I read in the UKVI guidelines that the applicant should submit a birth certificate. Maybe I'm wrong?

Birth Certificate

Hi everyone, I have a question I wanted to run by you. I was born in South Korea and the concept of a birth certificate is not the same as it is in the US or the UK (it is not an official government record). So I basically have a document that states the name of the hospital I was born and the date....
