Could you please also let me know which English B1 tests are valid for Naturalisation application? Thanks.

Great! thanks for your prompt reply.

Hi, Is application for Naturalisation and British Citizenship classed as the same? I am a permanent resident in the UK and have been for the past 7 years. I have now decided to apply for citizenship. One of the requirements I see is English Language proficiency. The life in UK test I took in the pas...

Its shows average time application to acknowledge around 4 weeks. let see the outcome , i believe it...

Hi, it would be great if someone could tell me that how to find out the receipt of application , is it sent by post/email by home office as reading through timelines I noticed that the date of receipt for many people is usually the next day of sending the application. I applied on 28th may by NCS t...

Hi Guys, From your experience please can you tell me whether or not it is safe to go for a 2 month holiday immediately after applying for 'Naturalisation'? Will I need to sumbit any biometrics as a part of the application? I already hold a Biometric Residence permit (ILR). How long have we got befor...

Print the new one from online or ask the council to send you the new one.

I don't think anyone apart from the UKBA have a definitive answer for this.

Guys, Do you know how long we have after "Dispatched From MOIA (OCI ) NEW DELHI" to submit the British Passport so they can link OCI and the passport? I am planning to apply for OCI end of June. Go holiday in the 1st week of July until 1st week of Sept. Do you think I am okay to submit the...

You should be good then.

Interesting to know, however, unless one needs to travel urgently to India, I cannot see any benefit in applying for an entry visa. For the cost, OCI is a much better option in the long run unless I am missing something. That is correct. I want to travel in the next 5 weeks and OCI takes anywhere f...

hi There, I was given this copy by the NCS staff when i went to enquire about the PBS calculator since the Tier 1 General was removed. Looking at the points, I think the 1st point covers all the scenarios and also there doesn't seem to be any need for NARIC comparability certificate. I will go ahea...

fwd09,
Thank you very much, not sure how I missed that last post! Thanks for providing the link to it. Sure, I will go through NCS as we need our documents for Travel. I suppose letter from UKNARIC is compulsory? I shall go through that post in detail.

Sorry, don't know about the any list but do you know if the degree you have obtained is from a recognized college / university and not a bogus university? Please check the link below.

Hi, I am in Indian and obtained my British citizenship (through naturalisation) last year. I now need to apply the same for my Mrs. She's been in this country for over 6 years and have ILR for the last couple of years. My Mrs and I took the 'Life in the UK' test before the English language requireme...

I wouldn't have thought that they will verify each and every of the employment that you have listed in the Application. I believe it is for the purpose of gathering as much information as possible from you so it can used as and when necessary.

I know someone who does it. Not in touch for a while but I'll get info and will update you.

That's correct, no savings on couple/family. The charge is per individual.

Hi Gem,

That's interesting!

- Have you used / travelled with the entry visa?
- How long did it take to receive your visa?
- Was the Entry Visa applied for yourself alone or a family?
- I believe it is valid for 6 months. How do you renew it if necessary?

Thanks.

It is ridiculous that a family of four are required to provide 4 different self addressed special delivery envelopes !!! Does the person who heads this got brains!!?

Eligibility criteria: section 1(3); Method of application: Postal - 1st class recorded Date of application : 08/01/13 Date of receipt by UKBA: 10/01/13 Date of debit of fees: 12/01/13 Date of receipt of acknowledgement: 17/01/13 Date of approval: 21/01/13 Date of receipt of documents: 23/01/13 Date ...

Thanks everyone for your valuable comments and replies. I hope this thread helps people in deciding whether to use NCS or save some money by making individual postal applications. There is another helpful thread that wpilr_nov12 mentioned to me : http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=1196...

Hi John, Thank you very much your prompt reply. I understand what you say. I was thinking of getting the documents certified by one of my neighbours who is a magistrate. But he doesn't have any rubber stamp. He is happy to provide his job ref number and his mobile number on every document. Do you th...

Hi, I wish to apply for my UK born daughter's citizenship registration using MN1 form through post. I know many would suggest me to use NCS. But I have no urgency or need the original documents for the time being. So I would like to save £45 by sending the application via post. My understanding is t...

What if we choose to post the MN1 application directly in post to save the NCS fee. I have no urgency for the original documents, I am happy to post them as required. So the question now again is what all documents should I send in support of my daughters' application who was born before my ILR. Any...
