Re: 90 Days rule

Definitely wait until you get to 98 (up to 100 are normally disregarded) days at least, gives yourself always a tolerance of min 2days. Over 100 it goes straight to discretion so it's not worth risking it

Re: British passport - returning supporting documents track

Does anyone that has received the supporting documents know if the royal mail envelope is signed for or they just leave it in your mailbox? I'll need to travel soon so I was just wondering if they can just put the letter in my mailbox or even inside my flat (yes I've those old victorian doors with t...

Hi, I've recently received my brand new first British passport, now as last step I'm waiting for my supporting documents (naturalisation certificate and foreign passport) to be back with royal mail I suppose.

Re: Travelling on a foreign passport after naturalisation

Your right to live in the UK is no longer dictated by your settled status. It is your citizenship that counts and this is what they check. So take a copy of your naturalisation certificate. And say that you are going to apply for a British passport. This will speed things up if you are stopped and ...

Before I could apply for my UK passport after naturalisation I entered three times with my french passport.

No issues at all, I just used the e-gates as usual.
Thank you, this is a relief

Booking ceremony, council slow to respond

Hi, I am trying to book my ceremony after my British citizenship has been approved. My council requires an email to be sent to them specifying my info and the type of ceremony (group). They specify that they might take 10-20 working days to reply! It's quite a lot, I was thinking to go to them or ca...

Re: Leaving the UK after obtaining Natrualised UK Citizenship

In my opinion it would be totally up to Home Office discretion, leaving soon after being naturalised goes definitely against the future intentions requirements but I am not aware of any "timeline" to adhere to after your acquired citizenship. Take also into account that Home Office need al...

Your appointment is after you applied/paid online. The appointment is basically for biometrics, as part of the process. Travel after you have applied doens't need to be listed. Do they take any documents at the appointment or only scan it? In other words- I will book an appointment in the beginning...

Re: Present in the UK exactly 3 years before the day the Home Office receives your application

A useful way to check this is if she kept the same bank account for the last 3 years. Check for transactions made in the UK on that specific date to confirm the presence (unless her passport wasn't getting stamped every time she was leaving the country)
