Also before the BRP was introduced (pre-2013) you had a ILR vignette stamp In your passport. Since LITUK do not expire and can be used for all future immigration applications, it would be weird to expect all applicants to have a BRP (pre-2013) or same visa status between during the time they took th...

We were told they will be sent separately. Passport was received but supporting documents including citizenship certificate have still not been returned. Is there any number I can contact? Hi there, you probably misunderstood. The passport/supporting documents will be returned separately not the su...

Are the supporting documents all returned together or are naturalisation certificate and passports mailed separately? Many thanks.

Oh yeah, just realised further to that email it says: [...] If you have any travel documents issued by the Home Office, including expired documents, they should be returned to the Home Office in the same envelope for official cancellation. Include a note stating that you are now a British Citizen an...

You should not have returned the Travel Document - it's like a passport .... The address you used is only for BRP returns no other documents .... On the approval email it says: Once you have received your certificate of British citizenship any Biometric Residence Permit (BRP card) you have will no ...

Help guys, applying for first passport after naturalistation For fathers section, I don’t know what to put as my birth father died when I was 1 and my birth mum divorced my stepdad when I was 6-11, so I didn’t really know my step dad after the divorce.

Hopefully you will get the approval email next Monday. Is this true? I got approval on Monday and I emailed council yest...

I don't see what the problem is, unless OP’s wife renounced her US citizenship then she is classed as a dual citizen and her US passport is still valid. It is not easy to lose US citizenship, even when becoming a national of another country; it is a process which requires paperwork and intent for re...

Hello 👋 As you know, the best way to prove that I lived in the UK for 5 years is Payslips. I get Payslips on a weekly basis. So I have hundreds of them! Am I required to send hundreds to the Home Office? Annual pay statements for the whole year, from the last qualifying 5 years should be sufficient...

It would be 23-07-2021, but waiting a day later to err on the side of caution won't hurt
