Thank you!

And they asked for nothing. I was prepared they would. But thanks God just the good news. So grateful! Congrats! this is great news and I bet you are relieved... I was about to start my application but I have a 6 month student gap in the middle my last 5 years which makes worry. One day I feel I sh...

Fantastic news! I have been approved for British citizenship today. I applied with the new CSI wording. Missing 3 years of exercising treaty rights, provided sufficient evidence. Congrats! What documents have you provided? Is it only for 2 years? Thank you! Pretty much everything I found. From tax,...

Fantastic news!

I have been approved for British citizenship today.
I applied with the new CSI wording. Missing 3 years of exercising treaty rights, provided sufficient evidence.

I don’t mean people waiting for it. I mean those at the waiting stage afterwards.

And I wonder if here’s anyone giving Biometrics in June/ July and still waiting?

From what I can see they approve people extremely quick now.
Unfortunately I’m one of those waiting.
And the wait is dreadful.

It seems like they doing lately decisions extremely quick after having Biometrics. Many approved just within days. I’m just wondering if those who had self sufficient or student phases in the quality time at some point if those waiting longer in general as they do extra checks with HMRC? Could that ...

Of course in the big picture that’s good for applicants. But as I said anyway near logical or fair. This way people absolutely stand the chance to live in UK without ever exercising treaty rights, whether before EUSS nor in their 5 qualifying years. How is this fair to applicants now being trapped i...

So theoretical you only need Settled or even pre Settled Status for 5 years and no matter if you were exercising treaty rights or not, your residence from that point is “lawful”. Now you could argue that EUSS only exist since 2019. Therefore someone could theoretically not exercising treaty rights i...

And I find it highly concerning the guidance doesn’t state on what terms they exercise discretion. As the fee is non refundable is quite a gamble and I personally think they should clarify that. Will it be enough simply to explain you didn’t know about CSI and the law and declare you didn’t mean to ...

On what grounds does the HO exercise discretion for you not having a CSI while being a student? I have been living in the UK since I was a a young child (2004) did school and finished university a year ago, got my settled status in May 2019. I want to apply for Citizenship but im afraid they will d...

Re. PR card requirement for naturalisation: the requirement to have a document certifying permanent residence has been in place since 2015, and had to be held one year (just like ILR & Settled Status) from acquiring PR (except if PR was acquired more than five years before application then coul...

Hi, I've been thinking in a solution for this gamble: applying to BC (With Settle status) having a gap on employment and no CSI to provide. And I remembered about the possibility to apply for Permanent Residence first (EEA Route). I thought I would not have available this option (As It won't be val...

I have applied since october 2019 and i email HO twice in 1 may and 1 july they have replayd with same responde nothing going forward! Does anyone know how long more i have to wait Good Morning, Thank you for your email. Your application is currently awaiting allocation to caseworker, we are curren...

Seen it on another page (shouldn’t mention names of other pages), but was a response from an immigration lawyer. And on the top that’s the only thing can be done in some cases. And caseworkers could contact them or asked for more information. Just explain things why they are this way would be my sug...

Say for example, during the periods of self sufficiency was being supported by UK resident husband/ partner who would give me cash. How would I be able to proof that?

I understand they have to write and sign a statement declaring this with details. I did that.

To write statements, declare financial support was advised to me by immigration lawyers. I have 3 statements with signatures and details attached to my application. I don’t see a problem to provide bank statements to a naturalisation application, especially when you already did for your immigration ...

Let your family write a statement from what time on they supported you financially. Also you can gather bank statements showing these payments or if you received money by Western Union request a history of transactions and show/ or let them declare they paid your rent, costs of livings or they gave ...

My appointment is booked for next week. Yesterday appeared an option in my UKVCAS account to send the documents to UKVI. As I think my case is complete with 26 files I double checked everything and sent it over. An notification appeared I successfully sent my documents, the remove button disappeared...

I applied on 9th of June and While I was creating the account with UKVCAS it identified me as existing customer and asked me to put the Unique Application number, So I did and then I uploaded my documents as well. So every time I log in it asks me to put the application number. And now I've got thi...

They have sent me an email tonight.
Finally could book. All was £110.
So booked a free one for Monday.

Finally sorted!

As it’s been awhile now.
Anyone else lately got approved with lack of CSI or got asked by caseworkers to prove evidence of insurance?
Would like to know how they handle it these days?

I understand you might not have good experiences with them. But like I mentioned before they were correctly updated in the topic. I didn’t have the feeling to talk to incompetent staff. Also the point is as we can see CSI isn’t considered so far as we have seen here and I have on other places and i...
