Many thanks for sharing your experience. Can you please advice which center did you go for your application. NCS Aylesbury I have the original master's degree from Sikkim Manipal University and the old PBS calculator printout showing the degree was taught in English, do you think it should be enoug...
Yes, it is mandatory to have 2 referees. CR001 I applied in 2016 when my daughter was 3.5 years without a single refree and it went through, I clearly remember having a tough time finding referees, and HO confirmed it was ok. Have they made it mandatory now. Please don't consider this an argument h...
Hi, I am an indian citizen who recently got ILR. I am applying for British citizenship for my baby who is 5 months old.

Couple of things here, If HO letter states Post Office lost it no reason why PO won't refund you, however, if it does not and PO claim it was HO fault, then you could write to HO. I have recieved refunds from both parties for different reasons though. Hence I can confirm if you persued it properly y...

If you got notified via letter from HO regarding your failure to enroll your biometrics, you simply need to carry the letter and original receipt from PO to the same PO and they would do it for free. We had to re-enroll the biometrics after five and a half month gap from the date of the application ...
Morning All (This post is from my partner) I was going through the forum for the requirement checklist for British citizenship and passport and noticed that one of the requirement is to provide your knowledge of English language. I have got ILR (through 5 years stay in the UK as Tier 1 visa holder)...
We (me & my wife) used our laminated Indian marriage certificates everywhere and haven't ever had any problems. However, ours did carry all information in both English and Hindi. Usually, 2 original copies are issued one to each partner. In case you only had one, still obtaining a duplicate is a...
If you only worked for 4 months and then nothing for rest of the initial 12 month period, you did not need to renew WRS anyway. If you started another job within the initial 12 month period then you were required. HO asked you about the document used to enter UK in June 2008 citing you were in contr...
Since WRS was not a visa, the responsibility to own one rested upon with the individual rather than the employers to ask for it (unlike in cases of work permit or tier 2). Though at some stage you were outside the defined law/requirements/expectations of you. I don't think whether one can weigh on c...
I think the following " The Worker Registration Scheme and EU8 nationals On 1 May 2004 a group of Eastern European nations joined the EU. These were the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia. When these ‘EU8’ nationals joined, the UK introduced restr...
As it says in the letter, Good Character cannot be put into words or described. Anyone who follows what he/she is obliged to, stays within the law and adheres to British law and immigration is deemed to have good character, maybe more in some cases, however, one thing is certain anyone who does not ...
Looking at the letter and what you say regarding WRS, I suggest you please send them a letter explaining your exact situation from the time. If you can, please apologise about not mentioning about it in genuine error and be honest in your response. The content of this letter an it's tone only mean t...
Please give more info about your application i.e. application date, what nationality what criteria etc. What visa did you enter UK with, do you have any photocopies of old passport or national I'd used to enter in 2008 .... did you have any issues back then that you are aware of and did not declare ...
I don't think there is such a thing as one month gap, though I understand they don't tend to answer or refer for a phone call/email reply from Caseworking team unless 6 months have passed from the date of debit of fees for naturalisation. Also, try this ... Call them with a different number and don...
Has anyone had any experience of writing to the home office to request an update? I phoned them today and they said that they can input anything new in the system (unless it's after a month of your previous phone call). Is this true? She said the only other option is to write to them by post (as I ...
I was in similar situation as yours quite some time back. Since Indian consulate in the UK no longer makes handwritten observations to effect change in personal particulars, you are required to obtain a new passport. This is better since you can get multiple changes done with one application saving ...
Would really appreciate if someone could review the following: My only Indian passport expired in February 2017.
