Thanks all for the advice. I contacted the Passport Office via online chat and they took tracking information and updated the system to show documents received even though there was no physical confirmation of this. However 2 days later and just a few minutes ago the passport application was approve...
You could give the helpline a call, but at this stage it is too soon to chase. do you have an upcoming trip booked? No.. no rush for the passport... but the potential loss of my wife's documents and the mess to sort that out is now making me severely unwell. I presume the help line will be no use d...
General comment: Royal Mail delivers 100/s1000s items of mail to HMPO daily, by the sack load. Not every envelope is photographed. I suspect the delay is with HMPO recording documents. How long has it been? A week exactly now... timelines most recently reported on here run from 1-6 days I'd say but...
Hello all, Wondering if anyone has very recently sent documents to the Corby processing centre and faced notable delay in them being acknowledged as received. Waited a week now while timelines typically report less than this and very anxious despite Royal Mail saying they delivered (and failing to u...
Application Timeline (of my wife): Eligibility criteria: ILR (5 years spouse of BC) Nationality: Mexico Date of application: 29-12-2023 (Online) Date of biometrics appointment: 18-01-2024 (Exeter) Date of receipt of Home Office approval: 15-04-2024 Date of Invitation from Council: 11-04-2024 (Cornwa...
My understanding is the Home Office seem to batch process approval emails each Monday so I would think there is a good chance you'll get it tomorrow. The Council (your local one unless you nominated otherwise) in the meantime should have been sent your Certificate by the Home Office and they should ...
As above... all normal. Applications seem to be taking minimum 3 months with many being reported around the 3.5 month mark. Currently December applications seem to be getting approved with the odd January thrown in. (Caveat some take much longer). So realistically perhaps May or beyond before you he...
Hi Everyone, atlast i have had submitted citizenship application online form,,and i was going through the pdf , i gave few details of previous applications which know, but i just notice ,again theirs a question saying, have you previously made any other uk immigration appplication in the uk or abro...
A little confused by the enquiry but I think this covers my thoughts. As I understand it India does not allow you to hold citizenship along with another. This is unfortunate. There's clear guidance here which indicates after getting British citizenship you would have to apply to renounce Indian nati...
It certainly should ask in the online application for profession in adult application.. is it different for child? You could do as advised above or maybe the "how does the referee know the applicant?" question could be used 'Their school teacher for 4 years'
As above.... and just to note local authorities sometimes may only have one ceremony a month unless a private paid for one.... so my advice contact them soon and arrange a suitable date. Travel is not an issue.
Yeah I think you'll just have to keep trying scanning with different settings (if possible).... try with colour and black and white... or try to photograph the form. I know I had to fiddle a bit with brightness and contrast on the scan to get my partner's photograph looking reasonable but that was m...
Hi, I have submitted by citizenship application and gave biometrics on 11th Mar 2024. Now I have a need to travel to India in May 2024 for 2 weeks. What should I do if I get an approval decision during or right before my planned travel? At what point do I have to return my BRP and how many days aft...
I think they have removed the submit button. Does this mean my application will not start until they receive my documents on biometrics day, which is after a month. Anyone has recent experience with submit button?? Applications seem to be being processed based on application date not biometrics/doc...
Hi there, I have uploaded all required documents and booked the appointment for biometrics. But there is no option to submit those documents as it used to be. Someone can tell me please .Thanks As long as you've uploaded all required documents and can see them there that's fine. UKVCAS will be resp...
Hi, I am currently filling out my application for naturalisation. I first came to the UK in 2011 on a student visa. and went home in 2017. In 2018, I applied for a spouse visa and re-entered the UK as a spouse. . My question is, what shall I put as my first arrival in the UK, in 2011 or 2018?I know...
Hi Friends, I'll qualify for citizenship soon but I might also need to move from England to Scotland while waiting for the decision. I wonder if it's something that might cause problems in general? Or maybe problems with discrepancies in legislation? Will I still be considered under the English rul...
From what I can see in the reported timelines October and some November 2023 applications are the current most likely wave of approvals and so there must be many applications made around this time like yours still awaiting a decision. Seen one or two from December but none beyond that... unfortunate...
If the name on your naturalisation certificate is not correct then you need to request a correction.... did they put the name as you specified it in the naturalisation application?
Agree with the advice you've received on previous thread and above. Recently we've had a cluster of people refused on grounds of good character due to criminal past including some apparently flawed reasons like failure to disclose when full disclosure was given. In all cases I'd say the offending wa...
3 weeks does seem to be a long time. I'd be inclined to contact FNE and query whether your application has indeed been approved and if so why no formal email notifying such and council unaware.
Thanks for a quick response I would be going the spouse 3 years route so am I right if I submit just my current passport . It was issued in 2020. And I have only travelled 3 times . I only filled the 3years qualifying period on my application form.i guess there was no need for me to fill all my tra...

Thanks for your quick response. I have another question regarding below section in the application - When do I provide the original passport - during document submission or during the biometric appointment? Do I need to provide originals for both old and new passport in this case? Providing your do...
