is this a concern or am i overworrying? i just dont want any further problems down the line when apply for passport

hi, apologies if this has been asked before. my council sent me an email with a ceremony date last wednesday however i have not received any home office invitation/approval. i thought it may come this monday as ive seen on this forum this has happened before and the ho invitation tends to come the f...

is anyone still waiting for a decision on citizenship applications before may 2024? the wait is so antagonising and i can see on the timeline thread that many applications are getting approved which were submitted in may which is slightly disheartening and worrying although im glad for those who are...

No it wouldn't matter if the passport was expired. Do you have a long gap between passports being renewed?

6 months however my new passport has my old passport number in. surely would be ok as 6 months is still below the overall absences i can have if they deem it to be that?

hi, when HO calculate first day of qualifying period - is this 3/5 years from the date you submitted your application/paid or the day you submit ur biometrics? From date of submission/payment online. Biometrics date is not relevant for the requirement. would they normally ask for evidence for this ...

hi,

when HO calculate first day of qualifying period - is this 3/5 years from the date you submitted your application/paid or the day you submit ur biometrics?

would they normally ask for evidence for this or would they just confirm from ur absences listed that the date doesnt fall within this

If you are worried you can supply a P60/council tax bill that covers the gap. The only important thing is that you do not lie. Of course it won't be a problem that you haven't travelled. I do not have a P60 as I did not work during this time - also the council tax bill is not in my name. Will it be...

thank u

so do you recommend to apply now instead of waiting 6 months so the whole 3 years is covered by a valid passport for the period?

should i write a cover letter explaining this or will it not matter?

sorry just wanting to make sure they won't reject based on this

sorry for bumping this again but please can someone help me. will the gap of 6 months in renewing my passport have any affect in my application? do i need to provide any new evidence during this time? also, does it matter that i only left the country once in this 3 year period. it is evidenced by st...

Thank you so much, i really appreciate your help and quick responses. Will it matter that my old passport expired in April 2021 and the new one was issued 6 months after. This would mean i have no passport proof for 6 months - will this make a difference? I know 2 passports isn't an issue but the fa...

As a UK ILR holder your passpor(s) with stamps covering the residency period are sufficient. P60, Council Tax bills, etc not required - those are used by EU citizens whose passports didn't get stamped. Thank you, so as my spouse is a British citizen and I have ILR and not a EU citizen, my passport ...

sorry i didnt make this clear - my spouse is a british citizen

i am a non-eea citizen (india) applying for citizenship in the uk. rest of the above still applies. please help

everytime i have left the country my passport has been stamped on entry and exit of arrival country and re-entry in uk

hi, spouse of non-eea citizen applying for citizenship after holding ilr since 2020. for proof of residency, is the passport covering the residency period the only thing that is required (with stamps)? i've heard people/lawyers say i need more documents and proof of address and residence which is co...
