UKVI, however, do not normally ask anyone to submit evidence of presence at the start of the qualifying period. The standard used here is to give the applicant the benefit of the doubt. @dexmo - you may be right but I am not aware of the relaxed attitude of the HO you refer to in this regard. From ...

A debit or credit card statement showing that the applicant made a purchase in the UK on the day 5 years before the date of the naturalisation application is accepted by the HO as proof of physical presence in the UK on that particular day. Completely irrelevant. Home office doesnt accept any bank ...

Dear all I am applying for British Citizenship for my wife. She got her ILR rcently (spouse of british citizen) so I believe I dont need to wait for 12 months and can apply straight away for citizenship. I am at the section of the application form where I need to fill-in the details of two referees...

Note also that discretion over excessive absences in your final year of the qualifying period will only be exercised if you can demonstrate strong links with the UK, i.e. family, employment, home etc. I moved my family on family visa last year in september and they are now going school here in UK a...

Yes i have submitted all the documents work related, travel restrictions from Dubai due to lockdown and also my return bookings from Dubai to UK. So you travelled for work? Was this as part of your employment with a UK-based company? An important element that may have been a factor in the caseworke...

Hello I have applied for citizenship application form in Feb 2021 and today I have received below email stating that I need to resend my application form for re-consideration but I don’t understand the problem with my application form here and what is the reason for resending it ? Any suggestions w...

So where can I disclose all this information, I’m positive this wouldn’t have much effect on my application since they have all this details and I have always mentioned it in all my application. The only one I’m more worried about is the US entry refusal. I need to know where I can include all this...

That's exactly how I read that question too. I will email this evening and will let you know if I receive any answer. You read it right. The two questions are unrelated. You're asked if you've got any children whose parent is not your current partner/spouse and separately you're then asked to provi...

thank you

Who can understand this problem?
Thank you very much

Dependants here refers to your children, not your spouse.

Thank you for your reply. The 6-month end date mentioned by HO is the deadline for receiving the Approval letter? :D It isn't a deadline of any sort, the Home Office just says most applications are normally processed within 6 months. Depending on individual circumstances this can take longer and we...

Thanks for the clarification on CTA - I flew twice during the last 10 years LHR>Dublin & return and had my EU passport checked on LHR arrival. Probably an exception - no immigration controls when you land in the North West and North East, and looks like none in Scotland which is in line with th...

My understanding is that as I will clear CTA immigration control in Ireland, using an Italian passport won't pose an issue. As long as the USA isn't on the UK red list, nothing in my mind could go wrong in regards to entering the UK - am I correct? Note the CTA is only applicable to Irish and Briti...

dear valuable Member, My naturalisation application was refused in 2018 due to good character requirement . now i am eligible to apply in December 2021. my question is this, can i use my expired English B1 certificate which i already used in my previous unsuccessful naturalisation application ? or ...

Hi members I applied for my naturalisation in Dec 2020 and received a refusal on 4 May 2021 with a reason of excessive absences which was due to covid travel restriction. In the last 12 months of Application. I have applied for reconsideration through my solicitors on 3 rd June withe all the suppor...

Dear All and Admins, Please I need you help regarding an issue with ILR issue date discrepancy. My ILR was issued on 23rd July 2020 along with those of my dependants. The approval letter was dated 21st July 2020, however I did not receive my BRP card along with my dependants guess the solicitor mis...

Technically, as advised, you should should choose yes to permanent residence question as that is the only option that will allow you to specify that you're relying on ILR under EU Settlement Scheme to satisfy the freedom from immigration time restrictions requirement. I get what you're saying. Howe...

That may work as well. Do you have to provide additional information of your status if you answer Yes to the 2nd question? The difference between the 2 scenarios is as follows: If I select 'Yes' to the permanent residence question then it will ask for the following: Evidence that you have been in t...

There's no requirement to prove every date out of the UK - requirement is to list all your trips out of the UK. You are allowed to estimate dates and durations if not sure. You are free to add a note explaining estimates and missing stamps. But no need for tickets, etc. And, to add to this, there's...

thanks for the reassuring words. Its only that you will be seeing others being processed less than 9 month, then you start wondering if they is any problem with your application. UKVI would have contacted you by now if there was a problem with your application and the fact that you got an email say...
