@Generalisimus!, Thanks a lot for your time & effrot to reply.......I will stop asking furhter questions as your answer is quite explainatory..but just for understanding....isnt a british citizenship certificate itself a right of abode? (i.e. not a british passport but a citizenship certificate...

Balded/Others, Thanks for thep reply. Is it compulsary to do so?...i.e. to travel on british passport once is ceremony attended? What if I am travelling with my passport having ILR? I mean there is a difference between 'should' & must.... Legally speaking, no, you can't use your ILR to enter th...

Hi Generalisimus. No I didn't get it through marriage. I got it by discretion. So that's why I don't know how long specifically I need to possess it for and as I've been residing just under 4yrs. Thanks. ok, in that case the standard requirements apply, my friend (at least 1 year of ILR and at leas...

Hi, can anyone pls tell me the soonest time I can apply for Naturalisation? ILR given 15 Sept 2010. 3.8yrs in total before ILR was given. Thanks a lot. Visit these sites for answer to your question: Standard requirements: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/eligibility/naturalisati...

Can some one please give an idea for the order of these stages: Approval, Allocation, Consideration, Security Checks and With Caseworker etc. This is also been requested by another user here but I think this can be very useful for estimating progress. If possible can someone also tell us what is in...

Muz, in addition to the timelines already provided on this forum, you might want to have a look at the following website to see what kind of checks are being done by case workers and what they do in instances when some naturalisation requirements are not fully met: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/...

I just asked for the status of my application and the guy told me that my application is passing through the security check! So my question is whether the security check is the last stage before making decision? Have they already checked the photocopied documents sent by ncs, application form etc a...

There was no particular dress code at my ceremony. That said, you might want to dress up for the photo!

Many thanks, any advise if I need to be personally at home to take delivery of passport or anyone at home can sign to collect passports ? Someone should be able to take delivery and they should have a proof of YOUR identity. Alternatively, you can arrange a redelivery (to your work address for exam...

Hi Generalisimus / Magsi , Apologies to jump in and repost my query here as I did not get any remarks on a new topic - thought its worth a try to repeat here. I had passport intw yesterday , need to check if anyone who had passport intw was asked if he / she was on a voter list ? I had to tell the ...

I have realised some case workers are lazy and don get bothered while others are working relly hard. ukba should monitor some of it's staff. i thought when ukba increased the fee they will improve but seems still the same That may well be true. For example, I was very fortunate that my case worker ...

i lost my the refrence letter ......is there anyone who knows what i should provide if i call the homeofice.? Give them your name and they will ask for details such as address and date of birth Alternatively, if you have any previous Home Office correspondence, it will have the Home Office referenc...

How did you manage to get the information? What did you say after giving them your ref number, name, dob and address? Did you first ask them about the status and then ask for a post office tracking number when they refused or did you ask for the tracking number right away? Asked for the post office...

Simultaneously, according to my experience.

Called them today to enquire about the application, but got a reply back stating that the average time is 6 months!!!! That's what they normally say. I got the same feedback from them even though the citizenship invitation letter had already been sent out! However, once I had produced an excuse for...

I called ukba today and they said your application in uder consideration. what does it mean and what is gonna happen after that Many thanks It seems like it's been assigned to a case worker. My guess is that you should be receiving the citizenship invitation letter in about a week. For instance, th...

icebreaker et al, would you mind deleting the contents of these "IQ" discussion posts, as they take up real estate on the forum and make it more difficult to search for relevant tips and clarifications? Many thanks!

Thanks for the answers. I just wandered why it sometimes takes 10 days between the decision and the letter informing about it. Special thanks to dee74 for being so rude. It can take that long because after a decision has been made, the letter needs to be printed and sent (by second class post). Nor...

Hello, i would like to know , after reading all the threats here, where the Inviatation letter comes from ? From Local Council or From UKBA ? If its the from UKBA/HO will it be a separate / different letter from the approval document ? Thanks In my case, there was no separate approval letter, just ...

many thanks, one last bit - what options do you select : is it the one which says applied before 6 months ( although its not the case ) ? Or are we also able to speak to someone with the first option ? @Generalisimus : any suggestion how / what to ask when we enquire the status on 0151 672 5626 ? T...

How do they mail out approved UK Passports? First class mail and slide through the letter box? Some type of courier? What about return of original documents if you paid extra for secure delivery? Do you need to sign for any of the above? Secure delivery is made by a courier and the addressee needs ...

@Generalisimus : any suggestion how / what to ask when we enquire the status on 0151 672 5626 ? Tried calling now and it appears they would not let us know status unless its more than 6 months . Any tips on how to speak to find out if the application has been forwarded to a case worker or any decis...
