Finally, with regards to the need for documents to prove my residency for 5 years. It is not stated what documents will be sufficient. I am therefore uploading letter from my University stating my course and length, P60 and payslips from employer (after my education) and also including annual bank ...
You don’t need to send that much stuff. I am assuming you want to proof residency. You need to send documents covering the last 5 years. I sent p60s for the last 5 years and my latest payslip as the last p60 wasn’t out yet. Alternatively you can send council tax bills. They do not want or accept ban...
- need Someone to confirm my identity, can I fill the people's information myself, when I have their details? Do I need to print it out and ask for signature? From 1 or 2 people? If you apply online then you need to give the name and email of ONE referee who needs to be a professional and British P...
Just bear in mind, that if you do the online application they will not allow you to post the documents until your referee has completed the reference online. If you plan to send things on the day of the ceremony make sure you have a referee lined up with access to the internet who can do the referen...
it seems to only take days to short weeks from once they have received evidence. For instance for this person in the timeline thread: Eligibility criteria: 5yrs + 2yrs Permanent Residence Language Criteria: Life In The UK test + Trinity B1 Nationality : EU Method of application: Online + Existing se...
You can apparently do a subject access request to get some of this information but apparently they are incomplete and it is unlikely to list the dates when you left as your passport isn't usually scanned when you leave on a plane. I just went through my emails for the last few years, it look several...
The passport application is really straight forward especially compared to the actual naturalisation application.
In my opinion there is no real value in check and send and you can just complete it all online and mail with documents by recorded delivery and safe about 10 pounds.
Yes you can get the PR backdates to the earliest date, however as you say the minimal difference is unlikely to make it worth it (especially as it requires a lot for paper work). In terms of absence, you can have no more than: 90 days outside the UK in the 12 months prior to submitting their applica...
The referee needs to be a "professional" and know your daughter, they do not need to be involved in their professional capacity. A family friend who is a lawyer/doctor/any other registered profession will do.
There are some timeline threads on the forum. Times vary widely, however the home office says they will let you know within 8 weeks if it will take them longer than that and most people appear to have a decision within 8 weeks or a little more. Even if they ask you for documents you are unlikely to ...
if you apply fully online then no signature of anyone is needed. your referee does everything online too, same as you.
You can also print things out and send them off or have them checked at the post office which is more expensive and then you need a signature.
have a look at the timeline thread. Unless there are any issues or queries you are very likely to have your British Passport within 2 weeks without an interview.
Mention it as it will be on your records by the time your application is considered.
It will not count against you, so you have nothing to loose by declaring it but if it is on you record and investigated and they then find our knew about it at the time of application you may be disadvantaged.
its not explicitly on the list. Mainly the professional referee needs to be registered with/accountable to some external body. If he/she is a chartered software engineer then it should be fine.
You have 90 days to attend the ceremony (usual wait depends on the council) so there is no real rush to get this sorted. I am sure they will get back to you soon. If it is over the 90 days and their fault again they will rectify things.
There is not a single mention of someone going for an interview in the passport timelines thread going back to January as far as I remember so I suspect the Home Office has improved their process and it is unlikely anyone is interviewed now.
Look at the timeline threads for a feel. There probably isn't a real difference but it seems like appointments with UKVCAS are in short supply at present.

hi, I hope I can help with some of your questions 4) Proof of living? What documents to show this? - given that you have ILR I assume you are non EU and therefore your passport showing when you were here is enough 5) Proof of freedom from immigration time restrictions? My ILR residence permit? Yes 7...
