Hi, I've submitted the online application(3 year route) and am in a process of uploading documents. I got few queries as below: 1. Current passport details:Do i need to upload all passport pages or just biodata (front and back page) ? 2.Absences in UK: Is BRP card enough to prove that i travelled i...

As mentioned on the other forum you posted on, his Thai wife would need to pass the English exam A1 and a medical and TB X-ray, to get here in the first place, along with application fees and IHS (NHS) surcharge. Then after 2.5 years in the UK she would have to apply for FLR(M), for a further 2.5 ye...

Well, after all the trouble we went to, to find and book a biometric appointment, which was in Southampton, far from where we live, they have now cancelled it, because they aren't opening on Saturday 2nd January. Couldn't they have decided that before releasing the appointment date into the system!...

Hello guys hope you all are ok and good health - I’m after some little advice here I’m applying for my wife Naturalisation via the online form which has been done and system has redirected us to Sopra Steria UKVCAS website to book appointments but there are no appointments available in the whole of...

Thanks guys. I was afraid that was the case, but just wanted to check to be sure.

Any thoughts on my above post/question, anyone, please? I am concerned that the appointment we have booked in early January might get cancelled as it is in a high risk area and far from where we live. The way the system is, it seems that because we have an appointment booked already, we are unable t...

Once you have booked a biometric appointment, am I right in thinking that the UKVCAS (Sopra Steria) system won't then allow you to look round for a better or alternative appointment? We couldn't get an appointment at the centre nearer to where we live (1.5hrs away), which is a library and only open ...

As a related question, I note several of you have referred to requesting the return of supporting documents by secure delivery. Is there an alternative, i.e. allow return by standard delivery? If so, might that get the documents returned more quickly, because the PO wouldn't have to wait for the do...

“other”

For both? (Not proof of application for the referees decs?) Thanks

Regarding uploading categories, what category would you suggest uploading the referees declarations?

And similarly a covering letter clarifying answers to one of the questions on the application?

Hi all Ive just received my first British passport after naturalisation. My wife (non British non Eu national) and I will be travelling out of the country in two weeks time. When we return to the UK, can she go through immigration with me through UK/EU passport holders lane (she is on a dependent v...

No One final question, if I may: Upon submitting the British citizenship application, is It better to register a new identity with UKVCAS (and not to use the identity used for the recent ILR application), to avoid any confusion with the ILR application which was submitted earlier this year and appr...

I think I am erring towards answering both as "no", on the basis that she is no longer a child/dependant. But propose to explain in the section for any additional information.

No

Wouldn't we have said "Yes" in answer to the first question (as she was admitted as a dependent and in effect was granted ILR as an adult/dependent), and then "No" to the later one, as she isn't a child for the purpose of the last question.

We are in the process of making a British citizenship/naturalisation application for my wife, who received her ILR early this month, and a couple of questions have arisen that I would appreciate some guidance on: 1. When it asks for details of previous immigration applications, I assume that means ...

Hi everyone First of all thanks a lot for all the support I always had from this forum My wife and daughter applied for ILR , application was approved for both of them . My wife received her BRP but my daughter’s BRP did not arrive Not provided with any courier details After waiting for 10 working ...

I have been in the UK as a foreigner for 7 years now and I am planning to stay here long enough to get the permanent residence status. My plan is to be on tier 4 visa for 9 years and then work visa for 1 year, within this 10 years not spending more than 540 days outside of the UK. Issue is, I can m...

Can anyone explain to me when a Right of Abode (ROA) certificate is relevant? Is it for example, for someone who has obtained ILR but doesn't wish to apply for British citizenship? Or perhaps for someone who has been naturalised -i.e. holds British Citizenship, but doesn't wish to apply for a Britis...

The way I see it, it has nothing to do with the situation regarding your family members. It's a case of (if I understood the situation correctly) you came to the UK on a visa visit, knowing that it is a condition of that visit visa that you leave at the end of the permitted time. Period. If you over...

Thank you Korekt. These documents should be within 28 days, right? Yes My understanding is that the financial documents submitted should be (dated) within the 28 days BEFORE the date of submission of the application though, not 28 days after submission. They can be uploaded after, but should have b...
