hi, I've got my biometric on Thursday and I'm going to upload my documents aswell. I just wanted to check whether others received a letter because I was worried they didn't receive mine. Just attend the biometrics and forget about any acknowledgments. Some receive the automated email, some dont. It...
I agree with @secret.simon who stated the uncertainty about travel conditions given corona, but I believe travelling for 6-8 weeks after application is pretty doable. It can take up to 6 months after submission to get a decision letter. Majority get a decision in 2-4 months though. Then you have to ...
The guidance says you have to update details on BRP in case of a name change within 3 months of the change, otherwise you could be fined. However, in your case, you are applying for Naturalisation and will be returning your BRP after Naturalisation. So an updated BRP does not make sense at this stag...

Assuming you are a non-EEA national, you will scan all entry/exit stamps for yourself and your wife during the qualifying period to prove residence. Wanted to make it clear that you have done that while scanning your current passport.
Can anyone please advise if it's OK to upload the same passport scans that I used to apply for my ILR last year? Due to Covid, my husband and I haven't been anywhere, so there have not been any changes to either of our passports. I was hoping to use these scans again and hopefully save ourselves so...
Thanks a lot for your quick response. Yes, my partner is a non-EEA national, so presumably all I need is the scanned copy of the passport with all the pages and that should be it? Correct covering the qualifying period Also, yes, I have added the referee details in the form already. So I will need ...
There is only one form for adults i.e. Form AN. 1) If your partner is non-EEA national, only passport stamps for the qualifying period are needed to prove residence. 2) Input referee details in the online form before submission. Get the referees to sign the declaration. Scan and upload. https://visa...
You need to notify change of address on the gov website: https://www.gov.uk/change-circumstances-visa-brp However, note, there are many cases reported where HO has failed to update the address and still sent the official correspondence to the old address. You should keep a contact at the old address...
You should only apply for Naturalisation if you had a legal status in UK for the last 10 years. If not, wait till you reach 10 years from the date you became legal in UK.
Were you an overstayer in UK or came to UK illegally in any previous 10 years?
If application is refused, you only get £80 back for the ceremony. £1250 (Total £1330 - £80) application fees + £19.20 biometrics fee is lost.
No need to renew the Indian Passport as long you do not plan to travel with your daughter and she has a valid ILR BRP for identification. Choose the correct option when you fill the MN1 form for passport expiry. The checklist will ask about the expired passport copy. Submit that along with the docum...
Unfortunately there is not much you can do. There are members who waited 8-9 months for ceremony invitations at the start of the pandemic and later also. The backlog has subsided and majority receive them in 3-4 months now. There are always odd ones out. Down to pure luck. I would wait till 3 months...
No one can really answer the reason why your ceremony letter is delayed. Your friend getting an approval letter on the same day could be pure coincidence. Each application is different and timelines can not be matched. Also different CW’s have their own work load/pace etc. However, if HO confirmed t...
Your 3 months are up on 16th June only. It can take 3-4 months after approval. You need to be patient and keep a look at the email/junk folder and postal address also.
You are right the form only asks you to declare any CCJs. Since you do not have one, the debt is merely a civil issue between you and HMRC. Ideally, if I was you, I would explain in a cover letter to be on the safer side, provide evidence for an arrangement of the payment plan and the evidence for t...
An application will not normally be refused simply because the person is in debt, especially if loan repayments have been made as agreed or if acceptable efforts are being made to pay off accumulated debts. However, where a person deliberately and recklessly builds up debts and there is no evidence...
