Citizenship Approval/confirmation letter dated 11th July 2013 Received 15th July 2013 confirming grant of citizenship

Thank you everyone for your assistance. Without this website, I would've been lost.

Hi Guys,

Just to recap, I had withdrawn the original application & then re-submitted it, in light of your advice, with my P60s etc, in mid-May 2013.

Received letter today from UKBA granting citizenship.

Just wanted to thank everyone for your input in this matter.

Fantastic! So I will send them a letter from my employer NHS to confirm my 6 years of employment. But what if they would want to see my Irish passport again. I guess I am going to have to re-submit the whole thing again via NCS because I really do not want to post them my Irish passport. Last time ...

So, based on her automatic acquirement of permanent residence on 27 Feb 2012, yesterday on 27 Feb 2013, I went to Birmingham NCS to apply for her Naturalisation. The Council lady didn't even know what EEA meant and what treaty rights were! Sorry mate, but :lol: :lol: :lol: seriously, WTF! She rang ...

Have you read the FAQ before posting? See Q5 in Citizenship FAQs - Common Questions - Read before posting . The nationality team in the HO would need to see your treaty rights evidence again. I don't think they will reject the application but maybe write to your mother asking for the evidence. You ...

Guys, Need your urgent guidance. I am an Irish Citizen exercising EEA treaty rights in UK since 2005, my mother has been my dependant as my non-EEA family member. She was granted EEA2 on 27th Feb 2007 which means that she automatically acquired Permanent Residence Status on 27th Feb 2012. Although t...

EEA4 sent 15/05/12 Received by HO: 16/05/12 Am still awaiting COA! Is this normal or do I need to be concerned & start ringing them? If so, what's the best telephone number to contact them on? Thanks. Update: my husband just spoke to the HO. HO confirmed that application has been received &...

...but my husband has been working...all these years in the UK... Workers don't require CSI (he's an EU citizen as well, isn't he)? Yes he is an Irish national, like me. Rather we both are dual nationals. Thanks once again for your timely & valuable advice. I did think whether I should apply vi...

Yes that's what I did. Sent off the application yesterday; lets wait & see now

Also, does she or me/my husband need any comprehensive sickness insurance? I am pretty sure we dont but just want to make sure.

2. Also, she visited Ireland many times but her passport was not stamped at Dublin, nor on the way back at heathrow. Do I still need to declare it in the application form as "days spent outside of the uk"? If she has a UK residence card (article 10), the passport should never be stamped. ...

I am about to send off the application; just a few more questions: 1. My mother's new pakistani passport has arrived as the previous one has just expired. Do I need to send both passports or just the new 1? I ask because the new one is blank & all her travel/immigration stamps are on her last pa...

Thank u so much for clarifying this. Sorry to be a pain but few more questions: 1. we got married 20 years ago in pakistan; we dont have a marriage certificate!!! I know, its crazy! & no, we cant get hold of one! 2. I dont have a birth certificate either which will prove mine & my mother's r...

Also, her 5 year EEA2 residence card ran out on 27th February. For the last 2 months, we ve been busy trying to put together the documents for her EEA4 application. I am really worried about the 2 month delay: Does it matter that its now been 2 months since her EEA2 ran out? i.e. is her stay here st...

me & my husband are Irish citizens, whereas my mum is Pakistani national. So based on your post above, I guess I only have to send my husband's Irish passport along with my mum's pakistani passport. In order to help you, you would need to give more information. Who is the EU citizen, how are the...

Hi That makes perfect sense but it still doesn't answer my question i.e. whose passport should I be sending: mine or my husband's or both of ours? Thx Example: A (EU national and exercising treaty rights) married to B (non-EU national or EU national doesn't really matter) lives with C, mother of B i...

Hi, My mother (a Pakistani national) has now lived with me & my husband for 5 years in the UK on an EEA2 Residence Card. We are now applying for her EEA4 application. My question is: whose passport am I supposed to send with the application: mine or my husband's or both of ours ? (ofcourse I wil...

Jambo, The Pakistani embassy are a bunch of idiots. Beside, they wont have any records of a village birth in 1960s. So I really don't think that's going to work. Someone once suggested a DNA test. Will this be acceptable to HO? Great news on temporary citizenship...hadn't realised that it had been a...

Dear all, My mother-in-law arrived in UK in 2000 & claimed asylum. It was refused & her appeal rights were exhausted. In 2007 , my wife & I immigrated to UK from Ireland & I started working as a Doctor. My wife, also an Irish citizen, is a house-wife. On arrival, we immediately appli...

Thank u every1 for your replies. I came to the UK and applied for asylum at port on arrival, and that was the status all along until I got granted ILR some 8 years later. I didn't have a passport all those years as the original had been retained by the HO. Therefore, the only way I could show I was ...

Dear all, My 2 referees are both British Born IT professionals. One works for BT as an IT Security Consultant and the other works in a big IT firm. However, none of them are members of the BCS (British Computer Society) as required by the UKBA (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents...

thanks guys, so if what liberal says is right then that rule that HO posted would go for everyone who granted ILR outside the rules whether they are married to british citizen or not they can apply for NAT after a year then? That's right. This rule, which was only recently brought in (the last bull...

I came to the UK in 2000 and claimed on arrival. Claim refused. Submitted a HR application in 2005. In 2009, I was granted ILR under legacy. However, I am now married to a British Citizen. I could have applied the very next day after I got married but I was concerned that the HO may consider the tim...

Dear all, I am applying for naturalisation next week as the spouse of a British Citizen. How do I prove I was present in the UK in March 2007 i.e. 3 years prior to the date of my application? I was enrolled at university at the time and I have requested a letter form the university confirming that I...
