Hi all Just an update for anyone who has chosen Solihull as their council for citizenship ceremony. I spoke to them today and they are only doing group ceremonies (reduced numbers) but doing them every week instead of every month to cope with the backlog. No private or e- ceremonies though. They sai...

Hi guys, I have been following the updates here which have been indeed useful. Could someone please help me with my query below. I applied for naturalization on 4th May 2020, got selected for biometric reuse in July and had the email to opt-in/out of the IDV app in August. At the time, I was advised...

Hi all, Will appreciate any feedback. I have applied for naturalization on 9th June 2020 and got the acknowledgement too. My case is tier 2+ ILR . I have done my biometric last year for ILR and two years before for Visa extension. Do you think I will also be eligible for fresh biometric exemption? ...

hi all i applied on 27th may 2020...today they emailed me.. sharing with you all ..... bellow UKVI have identified you as being eligible for this new approach involving biometric reuse. Importantly, this new digital approach means you will not have to attend an appointment at a UKVCAS Service Point...

Tomorrow is saturday, i doubt anything will happen. It looks like they dont work in the order they said they would! Very disappointing :( They can’t send an email to somebody who applied in may before somebody who applied in april. I have no email to book an appointment either so feel like they jus...

My last fingerprints was in one of these UKVCAS service centres and there was no problem with my fingerprints.

I am a bit behind in the queue. I applied on 4th May so I am not in that window yet (hoping for them to get there soon...)

I hope you get an invite soon

Hi guys Does today's announcement mean that someone like me who has applied for naturalization through Tier 2 + ILR route should not expect to attend biometric appointment. I say this because I have given them my fingerprints 3 times over the last 5 years (most recently 13 months ago)... Oxana and P...

Thank you Rozearo! its great help.

Could you please also advise who shall I address the letter to?

Dear all I have made an online application for naturalization for myself, spouse and one child (born outside UK). We all got ILR last year through Tier-2 general route. My query is regarding the documents I have to provide. In the document checklist, they are asking for 'A letter of consent from Mr ...

Hi guys In completing my application, I have made a mistake: For one of the referees, I have mistakenly entered some details (passport no. and email address) of the other referee. I am really regretting this but is there a way to correct this? Can I ask the referee to provide their correct details a...

Thank you

thank you. i am trying others like you suggested. Meanwhile, may I ask another query I have about this application: My spouse has been self-employed for last 2 years and on PAYE before that. I have included NI number and UTR in the application and the document checklist is not asking us to include a...

yes, we only tried 1 (the current school). We recently moved city and the previous school is closed due to COVID19 (no response from them). I have read on this forum that GPs are generally reluctant to provide reference as well. I couldnt think of any other professional who may have been in contact ...

Thank you CR001! Could you please also help with the 3rd query I had: I am also applying for my child who is 8 years old and has ILR (born outside uk). For their professional referee, the school has rejected our request. Is it possible to use one of my friends (professional) as their referee as well...

Thank you CR001

but do I need to send all my previous passports?

Sorry, but the residence requirement is for 5-years. So, would the passports alone satisfy this requirement or do I need to provide bills etc across these five years?

1. The 'document checklist' asks for my passport to be sent. Shall I send my current passport only which covers last 5 years (covering Tier 2 Gen time) or shall I send all passports? My immigration history in the uk is 2006-2011(student) and 2014-current (tier 2 gen/ilr)... 2. For the 5-year reside...

Dear all I am preparing application for naturalization through Tier 2 Gen-> ILR route. Could anyone please help me with the following queries: 1. The 'document checklist' asks for my passport to be sent. Shall I send my current passport only which covers last 5 years (covering Tier 2 Gen time) or sh...

thank you!

Dear all I hope you are keeping safe. I am preparing my application for naturalization based tier-2 general -> ILR and have couple of questions which I really need some help... 1. Previous immigration applications: although I got ILR through the tier 2 general route (2014-2019), I lived in the UK on...

Thank you very much for quick reply CR001 Could you please clarify further: 1. Can I travel using my BRP in between approval and ceremony dates ? 2. Is it possible to choose a specific council to attend the ceremony? Or you are restricted in where you attend it. Thanks Your child's certificate will ...

Thank you very much @alterhase58. With the travel arrangements on my mind, please allow me to dig further into Q2. So I am assuming, when I (hopefully after being successful :)) receive the approval letter for naturalization application, I will receive the child's registration certificate? If the ab...
