Hi All

Just being curious , does anyone has an idea of how our citizenship applications are processed by the caseworkers? What steps are followed ??

Thanks

In my experience the short answer to your question on how the applications are processed is:-


Badly!

As I understand it, when you were working full time and paying NI contributions, it does not matter that you were studying part time. You were not a ‘self sufficient person’ who needed Sickness Insurance if employed and paying NI, paying tax etc. Being a part time student is equivalent to a hobby if...

There is, as far as I am aware, no stated absolute minimum criteria which are applied for income or accommodation, so as long as, I suppose, you do not claim benefits and are able to live then you are OK. A good bit of background and info is contained here https://www.freemovement.org.uk/wp-content/...

A strange thing with the post above. In the title and in the second line I typed C a b i n e t in place of Government, when I preview it auto changes the word to Spam!?

Very odd, obviously a glitch somewhere.

One of the Headlines on the BBC Website this morning. “UK immigration: No preference for EU workers after Brexit, Government agrees” I just wonder what this will mean in practice? How long before we know what will happen definitely? Will they plan to improve the Home Office ability to process applic...

On the 13/09/18 I posted my first application for a UK passport after naturalisation. As Ancestor says if the passports are cancelled they are not required. I enclosed only my current German passport, even though I have still in my possession passports going back to the 1960’s. My UK passport arrive...

If you are thinking of making a passport application now, stop.

You need to give the Citizenship Certificate number, how can you do that until you have received the Certificate?

Passport for: Adult Application Type: 1st Passport after naturalisation Method of application: Paper Form and Posted by Special Delivery Date of application: 13/09/18 Date application received by HMPO 14/09/18 Date of acknowledgement of Receipt by text 18/09/18 Date of return of documents: Expected ...

How long have you been in Germany?

Have you checked out your possible entitlement to apply for German Citizenship?

Acquiring German citizenship now or Italian citizenship in the future would mean you’d continue to have freedom of movement.

Others here will know better than I, but if you have a letter confirming Permanent Residence with dates etc. I should have thought that was proof of being here legally, if you have fulfilled the ongoing requirements. Refusal of the application for Citizenship is costly though and even if the HO are ...

In addition/amendment to the above; I was writing from the viewpoint of a person applying to become a UK citizen, and the possible implications for that on German citizenship. For children there are variations/differences, I was just looking at these and think you do need to check things out, but it...

With regard to your wish to register your child for UK, German and NZ citizenship I think you have to check things out carefully. As a principle Germany does not allow dual citizenship. Anyone taking dual citizenship of another country will lose their German citizenship, except in specific circumsta...

Hi All, I just wanted to post a quick thankyou to all who contribute here. The quality and help that the Mods and and majority of Members contribute to the questions posed is worth its weight in gold. I just wished I had known of this resource a couple of years ago. I read the boards for some months...

Hi jmmo20. That's strange. My letter from the Home Office says at para two " What you must do now 1. The ceremony will be arranged by the Local Authority whose details are shown below. Please contact the authority using these details within 21 days of the date of this letter to book your ceremo...

If by no ‘legal basis to treat them differently’ than any other group, he means that the current legal status for EU citizens ceases with no replacement rights to be here being granted en masse; then what would be the position of the 3+ million EU citizens currently here? Would it not mean for the v...

Logic would dictate that ‘Paul’ as a nickname is not of interest to the Home Office. In the UK so many names are shortened and used by friends instead of the given name, yet on official documents people would always use their proper full name. So long as you have. NOT used your nickname on official ...

Thanks for that information IcikePicike. I shall, as you suggest, provide the information I can and see what happens. Also thanks for the tip re the Certificate I shall certainly do that and send everything in a large stiff envelope....and hope for the best. After the trials and tribulations of gett...

Thankyou again for your comments. I am getting my application details together for a passport as I shall be attending a Citizenship Ceremony on this coming Wednesday. It was my intention to post the application on the way home from the ceremony! The wording of the section still seems confusing to me...

Thanks for the swift reply CR001. To whom then would the following apply, as both my parents were born outside the UK? “If both parents were born on or after 1 January 1983, or were both born outside the UK, please give the following details in section 8 of the application form. Either: Ÿ the full n...

Page 7 of the Guidance Notes for the UK Passport Application states, “If both parents were born on or after 1 January 1983, or were both born outside the UK, please give the following details in section 8 of the application form. Either: Ÿ the full name, town, country of birth and date of marriage o...

As far as I know the only grounds on which she could get exemption and she would not have to take the tests is age, e.g. 65yrs+ or mental incapacity.

I received my approval letter on 07/09/18, dated 31/08/18. Forgetting the abysmal English and lack of any signature, it said I should contact the Ceremonies Officer within 21days of the date of the letter to arrange a ceremony and that it would take up to two days for the information from the Home O...

Just adding to my post above, I received yesterday my approval letter. application made on 10/07/18. So hopefully ThoJohWill your acknowledgement of just 17 Docs is not a bad thing. Best of luck

If your parents address is shown on your ID card is this because you did not abmelden, deregister, in Germany? Normally, I thought, if you inform the German authorities of a permanent move, in this case to the UK, you will have to get an updated ID card which would come via the German Embassy, and s...
