Hi - I have just got my naturalisation approved on 13 May, my path ceremony is on 3rd July. I will get British Passport by end of July.

Hi All, next week it will be 5 months since we have submitted our application for naturalisation and we have not received any decision yet. I have not emailed FNE yet but I was wandering does anyone know what could be potential causes of delay - I have seen majority of applications are processed wit...

Thank you so much.

Hi - it’s been 4 months and I am still awaiting my decision on naturalisation. However, I met a friend who confused me, once I get naturalisation, when I apply for first british passport do I need: 1. Birth certificate (I was born in India before 1983)? 2. When I need to send my Indian passport alon...

I can’t begin to thank how helpful this forum has been and is. It’s just amazing. Many many thanks.

Hi - I have applied for Naturalisation online on 11 Dec, yet to submit my biometrics (post 1 year of ILR), scheduled for 22nd Dec, however my Indian passport is about to expire on 25th April. Does it impact my naturalisation application? Also if I end up renewing my Indian passport closer to time as...

Hi In 2016, I had a Tier 4 application which I applied in country by mistake and applied by post; which I withdrew in 4 weeks before it was processed so I never submitted my fingerprints, I then went outside the country to apply freshly for Tier 4 which was approved. Now while filing for Naturalisat...

Many thanks. A change is circumstance now. So on the day I will apply I might be at one address and after that I am buying a house or renting and changing address. How does that impact my application? Will the home office challenge that I am no longer at the address and I end up wasting time in givi...

Hi All - I did check on the forum but was not able to find a similar question and I am sure it exists. I got ILR on 19 Oct 2022. Can I apply for Naturalisation using online form, 28 days before that and get a biometric appointment for 19 October 2023? Or I can only apply on 19 October 2023? Is the d...

Thanks for the update. Did you lodge any case with home office or anything? Just to let you know you might have the share code but if system does not work when employer checks it’s of no use. The case being I was able to generate share code on 28th Nov. My employer checked the code on 5th December a...

Hi All - so I spoke to UKVI twice today. It seems it’s an IT system integration issue. My ILR status is shown in one system but they say the system used to show my share to work does not have updated ILR and hence the code is not generating. When I called back again saying it does not make sense as ...

I am exactly in the same boat. I created a code successfully on 28th Nov. When my employer tried checking it today, they could not and asked me to generate a new share code. Since last 1 hour, I have tried all ways and I getting exactly same error as you - We cannot show your details. I am currently...

Hi all - on the topic of reference for child, the nursery manager is not comfortable to share their passport number of address. I saw below guidance on immigration board but I can’t find it anywhere at all: 6.3.7.9 Those acting in a professional capacity may not wish to provide their personal detail...

Many thanks for your reply. So I went to see my sons GP as well as Nursery teacher they are happy to give reference on how they know the child but are not comfortable to share their personal address, or passport details or date of birth - all required in online form, also they are not ready to sign ...

Context: Child Born in UK - Dec 2019, will turn 3 this December Father received ILR - Oct 2022 (this month) 1. Can my wife apply for her ILR and in parallel I apply for my son British Registration in parallel? 2. Do I need to apply for ILR for my son or I can go directly to British Registeration? 3....

Many thanks for this. Now to questions on Child Naturalisation who was born in the UK is now about to turn 3 in December: 1. Thanks to Immigration Boards guidance, I have received my ILR, can my wife apply for her ILR and I apply for my son Naturalisation in parallel? 2. The application form for my ...

Many thanks to everyone for the replies, I have received my ILR all thanks to all of you. I had one last question - I am now doing my wife's application and will be looking to book an appointment before 10th Nov for priority 5 day service. Her Passport expires on 14th December this year. Would that ...

Really apologies, I unintentionally made a mistake of jumping into some others topic. I am new to forums and I thought it might be easier to tag my question on the same lines I see there, did not realise that might not be the best way. All I wanted to find out from a topic I picked up on was - I can...

I cant tell you how thankful, I am - few more questions: 1. While examining my visa stamps, I remembered in 2016, before the period I am basing my application on, we went to France on a ferry using coach and returned on the same way. While on the way back, France did not stamp our exit and UK border...

Thank you so much. So if I apply for ILR now and let’s assume I get ILR in first week of October using Priority service, if I don’t apply for ILR for my son - his Visa is valid until 18 Oct 2023, and I apply for Passport next year in October and get it (lots of ifs I know) - in that case can I direc...

So many thanks for the replies.

Another question, if both parents get ILR settled status then is the ILR application for the child free of cost?
