Hello All,
Thanks again for all the helpful replies. My application is now sent and my biometrics appointment is on 8th Feb. At long last this is underway!

Good luck and all the best! waiting game starts

My application has been full 6 months yet, it will be soon.
Note: I have a relevant spent criminal records which HO caseworkers will be all over my application. So I may not be the best example on time frame here.

I had my SAR done and nothing was on it, don't keep your hopes high to uncover something that you didn't know tho! So SAR didn’t show any details regarding where your application got stocked in the process? Nothing at all, there is only 2 notes regarding the application, one I couldn't understand a...

Hello, One more quick question please, For references I am, asking my accountant as 1st referee. So in the question: How does the referee know the applicant? can i write: As my accountant? Thanks in advance as always for the great help! I has the same situation when I applied and I used my accounta...

Ultimately from what we see as a repeating pattern, seems like Monday from 8am up to 5pm. As said above, someone had it on Tuesday and also was reported last week on Sunday at 9pm I think. Although we have some feedback from the timeline, yet we can't generalise as the amount of approvals are way mo...

I don’t see why this plan wouldn’t work.

I trust it happens during the application process, as far as I remember mine, it was along those lines that we couldn't verify your details, please upload etc.

Hi, I have realised that I had made a mistake in my Naturalisation after submitting my biometrics and documents scanning, application submitted on 07 JAN 2024 UKVCAS appointment was 16 Jan 2024 Mistake : Immigration Details: Have you made any previous UK Immigration Applications in the UK or Abroad...

12 months from the date of your IRL approval.

You can apply and go away but you must do your biometric before you go.

In my opinion, it is only a month, better to do it when you are back.

Correct, paid via PAYE then you are an employee. I am an accountant so certainly sure of this

And years that you weren’t on PAYE, you must have had dividends? If not then surely you got income from the business, how were you paying your taxes?

I trust you can still travel using your home country passport and you can apply for British Passport upon your return.

I trust you mean that you will be applying to Naturalisation right? If so, a business is an entity in it self, if it went into liquidation this doesn't affect your personal records even if you are a director in my views.

You can change it before but you would have to change the BRP too. No they dont. Foreign passport yes, brp no. Are you saying that the forgin passport would have to reflect the marriage surname but the OP can retain their maidan name on the BRP and yet be able to travel and re enter? Yes,marriage c...

I would recommend that you do the name change after becoming a British citizen.

When I did mine I had to provide it all in the application.

Agreed with all comments above. I have applied and submitted my Bio on the 10th of August 2023 and I haven’t heard anything yet. You just need to forget about it and focus elsewhere. Ps, I have criminal records tho. I did request SAR and it came last week with only 3 notes relating for the applicati...

Thank you all for the responses, my SAR is huge just shy of 400 pages, today I have gone through it again and managed to find the below and not sure what it means: Backing subs requested and Email received from app with updated info missed off the form which may affect the application - forwarded to...

Hi great people My naturalization application is 5 and half months in, I requested SAR on the 20th of Dec and received it yesterday, I know 6 months haven't yet passed, but the SAR results have my naturalization application in there but no records, comments or note about it at all. Any suggestions w...

Hello I hope someone can advise on my current situation? I am due to apply for my Uk citizenship next week. My current indefinite leave remain BRP will expire in May 24. I have a few trips booked in the coming months so I am trying to see the best way to be able to travel and have my citizenship &a...

Thanks both and agreed, there isn't much difference to be fair. On another note, from your experience, does most applicant get an email to explain that a decision wont be reached in 6 months? or this may not even happen? Most applicants AFAIK are contacted if the application will not be decided wit...

Dear experts

Is the 6 months period that the HO aim to give a decision on naturalisation counted in weeks or months?

i.e. if applied on the 10th of August 2023, does the 6 months end on the 10th of Feb 2024 or on the 25th of Jan 2024?

SAR with the police will show the records that the police hold on their computer against your name. This has nothing to do with immigration SAR
