I'm not sure this is the right forum for this question. You might be better off asking it in the Ireland sub-forum . ETA: I see that you already have. Unless you're planning on bringing your partner and her children over to the UK first and having them naturalise as UK citizens (a process that will ...

The way the rules are right now, passing the Life in the UK test now should mean that you won't need to take it again, even if you move from where you are. However, anyone who has been in the UK long enough to qualify for indefinite leave to remain or permanent residence (which you will need before ...

If you have a number handy to ring them, then yes, it can't hurt to phone them to clarify. My search of the gov.uk website for "Appendix 1" returned more than one form. If they insist even after you've called that you send the Appendix and the return envelope anyway, then do so. I know you...

From the Guide AN , page 8: To satisfy the residence requirement you must not have been absent for more than 90 days in the last 12 months. And the total number of day's absence for the whole 5 year period should not exceed 450. If you are married to, or in a civil partnership with a British citizen...

With the Home Office, it's always wise to do what they ask. Fill in Appendix 1 and send them the return envelope, even if it seems like a waste of time to you. If you don't, they're likely to reject your application and then you have to start all over (or appeal—either way it's even more work).

I've noticed the Home Office tend to send their letters to applicants by second class post, so the necessary letter might be wending its way to you now. However, it can't hurt to ring them on Monday if nothing arrives tomorrow. They may be able to e-mail you copies of the necessary document(s?) for ...

You're welcome. Good luck with your naturalisation application. I can't say I agree with your decision to complain about the NCS service you received. If your caseworker had sent your application without saying anything about the missing evidence of English skills, or if you had included your degree...

so, how do I "confirm I proved my english language for settlement after Oct 2013" ? what docs can I send ? in this case the degree will not be needed ? I was confused coz, in the form itself there was an option to tick the above which gave me the impression degree will not be needed. You ...

As I understand it, your employer's status has no bearing on your naturalisation application. The only potential problem might be if you were somehow responsible for the reason your company got its licence revoked (say, if the company was involved in something illegal and you knew and aided and abet...

Update (and my application process continues to be one day behind eryilmazhilmi 's): Eligibility criteria: 10 years legal residence + 8 months ILR + UK citizen spouse Language criteria met: Majority English speaking country Nationality: USA Method of application: NCS Edinburgh Date of application: ...

I assume you've already done the Home Office's small survey to check whether or not you are already a UK citizen . From what I can tell, for you it probably comes down to whether or not your father was recently naturalised as a UK citizen or whether he got the citizenship that he has always held off...

Is there a way you can withdraw your request to change your name? Because unless your reasons for wanting the name change are a matter of life and death, I agree with CR001 above and think you should have done this before applying or waited until after your application was decided. As it is, if you ...

in this case, I wud like to know how i can get explanation and compensation by tapping into anyone who has done something similar before.. What do you need an explanation for? You yourself admitted that you didn't show all the documents that were asked for at your NCS appointment: At the time of ap...

When applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain, I did use the same day service in Croydon, and I do remember sitting with a staff member taking my fingerprints. So, I suppose that was the time my biometrics were taken for my application? Yes it was. They take your biometric data every time you apply ...

I first registered my biometrics when I extended my Tier-1 general visa (this is the first instance I received a BRP) as my first Tier-1 general visa was a stamp in my passport. I thought the same biometrics were used for my BRP when I obtained indefinite leave to remain, and the same biometrics wo...

It establishes your physical presence in the UK and also provides evidence of your National Insurance contributions. If you're a citizen of a non-EEA country, you may not actually need to send P60s and P45s in because you'll have stamps in your passport which show the dates during which you were phy...

Interesting. That is indeed what it says (link for people who aren't sure where vadzia112 got the quote from). Additionally, Booklet B (Naturalisation Booklet, page 9) has this to say: But remember that, unless you are married to or the civil partner of a British citizen, you should normally have he...

1) Do I need to submit my step-father's Permanent Residence card along with mine to show that he was my sponsor? I doubt it. Your stepfather's permanent residence status has no bearing on whether or not you qualify to a be a citizen, especially since you have indefinite leave to remain as well. How...

How frustrating for you! My suggestion is that after this upcoming election is over, you go and talk to your MP. Send a letter, but also try to get face-time with the MP at a surgery if you can. I think it's human nature that you're more motivated to help someone you've met face-to-face. In the mean...

I have found that link on gov.uk site: https://www.gov.uk/visa-documents-returned anyone know if I can use it to get them back earlier?? anyone used it before You can certainly try, but note that it says on that very website (bolding mine). You might have to cancel your application - you’ll be told...

I have no idea. My guess is that they want someone who is in the military full time, in which case someone in the British Army Reserve would not qualify, but that is just a guess.
