Hello. Once I have received approval email from Home office to my naturalisation application, what are my options to travel to India (I was born Indian citizen). Before Ceremony I understand I can use my Indian passport and ILR BRP before ceremony - Is this correct ? Post ceremony , but before appli...

Thank-you and apologies if I was being a bit pedantic. Final question (hopefully) would be list of documents - Scan of all pages of Passport - Scan of referee declaration form, from both referees - Biometric Resident permit showing ILR - Marriage certificate with husband, used previously in ILR also...

Thanks!

One more question please:
I had downloaded reference form from the internet and one of the person signed with date as one day before the application payment date. Does that make a difference , or should I ask for a new form to be signed please?

My husband got naturalised as a British citizen recently and I have finished 12 months on ILR. I would like to apply for naturalisation now. I am a housewife here in UK and as such I have not worked with anyone in a professional capacity. For two references, can I ask below: 1. My husband work colle...

Hello, We are now submitting application for mother (now on ILR) and Child born in India (now on ILR). Father already has ILR and will complete 12 months in a few months. Mother will apply for naturalisation Child will apply for registration Can moderators please confirm if documents below are suffi...

Child can apply when mother applies. Hi, I am asking this with utmost respect to the work and knowledge of the moderators - Is it possible to get a link to the official guidance where it says: child - under age 6 year - born outside UK/EU - stayed in UK for 5+ years - having ILR for less than 12 mo...

Hello,

Can the moderators please help if I can re-use my ILETS Life Skills B1 that was used 3+ years ago for ILR.

Test centre provider (IELTS) and code is still on approved list, the address however within the same city has changed.

I got IELTS Life Skills B1 over 3 years ago.

Used that certificate in a successful ILR application.

Can I use the same certificate in naturalisation application too?

Child was born outside UK/EU and has ILR. Both parents born outside UK/EU also have ILR. Mother has done 12+ months on ILR Father and child has done less than 7 months on ILR. Child has done 5+ years in the UK. Mother is planning to apply for naturalisation in the next few days. When Mother apply fo...

From reading timeline threads and other posts in Facebook, Twitter - it would appear that all August IDV submissions have had their biometrics injected (attached) into their current case-file and the decisions should be coming by end of October (next 4 days). For September IDV submissions, I would s...

they can deny as much as they want on UKVCAS flash message but the truth is, IDV app data wasn't being transferred to UKVI and double submissions were working because the data was going straight to UKVI You need to understand what happens when you submit data through IDV App - read this post to get...

Saw this personal opinion of a member in a private Facebook group: A caseworker needs Biometrics in your current case file to proceed. Some caseworker will pre-assess the application while some won't. If you have been chosen for biometric reuse, then after you submit your facial image through IDV Ap...

For applicants who have done only single submission through IDV (no in-person appointment at UKVCAS service centre). If you are still waiting for a decision, then this tweet might of interest to you: social media weblink identifying a person removed by moderator. Please be advised, that if you have ...

For all

• March to July applicants
• any Visa type
• who did only single facial image submission through IDV App
• still pending decision

Have you written to your local MP ?

If yes, has there been any acknowledgement or response ?
If no, what is your thought process for not writing ?

If you are selected to use the IDV app, please do so. Booking an appointment does not mean that your application will be processed more quickly. Looks like they are aware that majority applicants are going for appointments or dual submissions as applicants have lost confidence in IDV app due to maj...

Guys, I need your advice: I applied for my ILR as a Set (0) Tier 2 5 year applicant on 27/7. Submitted my biometrics on 9/09. Never used the app. So I heard nothing since 09/09. Getting a little worried.. Is there any way I can contact the HO to get any kind of update? When would it be appropriate ...

Does UKVCAS know that UK is much more than Lansdowne Road in Croydon . Why is it that all service status updates in the last few weeks have mentioned price reductions and free appointments at this particular centre but has been silent on rest of the UK? With unfortunate rise in the Covid-19 cases, d...

To all

ILR applicants who submitted facial image through IDV app on or before 27-Aug - if you don't get a decision by 6pm today, then:

• Book an appointment at UKVCAS service centre AND
• Write today to your local MP

There is no formal announcement that priority or super priority services will resume on 21st September.

However there are strong rumours that these will resume on 1st October on the same date that IHS increase comes into effect.

Thank you Your application will be considered as withdrawn if you leave the UK while your Vi...
