Re: Citizenship for kids of a British parent

Thank you! Means in their case there will be no proof such as a hard copy certificate confirming that they are British?

Citizenship for kids of a British parent

Hello, I have a friend who is a naturalised British citizen, lives permanently in his home country and has 9 year old twins born there (outside the UK). Spouse is not British. Do I understand correctly that kids are automatically British and what is the right way to confirm their citizenship and get...

Private ceremony fees

A while ago there was a topic here about fees for the private ceremonies. We have obtained 4 approvals together and contacted our council to organise a private ceremony. I can confirm that they charge fees per ceremony, not per number of people attending. Therefore, fees for 4 people and for 1 perso...

No.
Thank you for replying. Does this mean that to revoke the decision is as much difficult as to revoke the citizenship, if I may ask?

You can imaging how I felt for the next almost 50 days. This is frustrating, but little you can do. I also do not f...

I think all feel alike to some extend. It is difficult, but try not to worry at least before 3 month time. I have just got my approval today - 79 days from submission.

Anyone know how long it takes for the B1 English qualifications to be sent out? I need it to arrive the latest on Friday, my test is on Tuesday. I also paid for the enhanced delivery. How long did it take for your certificate to arrive guys?
Normally for Trinity it takes a week for delivery.

You must declare it, but a caution issued 7 years ago on its own should not lead to refusal.

Re: Passport processing time-JCAP

I think it is a very optimistic statement. According to timelines 6-8 days would be more realistic if there are no delays related to names.

I keep monitoring the timelines and have noticed that time for decision depends on the route a lot. Is there any information if it as well depends on applicant's nationality? I mean, are the good character or whatever checks all the same for everybody or not?

Re: Trinity B1 certificate from non-approved centre for Transitional Rules applicant

You can use expired certificate if it had been used for previous applications with HO, but still there is a strict condition that the test and the centre must be on their list. Otherwise you have to take another test.
