My wife is going to apply for her british citizenship based on 5 years in UK and one year of ILR. She has been on dependant visa before ILR , for the english language requirement would a printout of the points calculator suffice ? When I put her degree I get 35 points and when I select the option &q...

Many thanks for your reply njoy1987.

My gap between old and new is one month and 12 days.

thanks for your reply VR, but dont we need something to prove lawful residence for the period that is not covered by passport ?
In my case between july and sep.

Hi, I am going to apply for BC next week, my old indian Passport expired in July and I got a new one in September. For me to apply via NCS, do I need to prove I was in UK during that time ? If so what documents can I use, I am a director of my own company so cant really do employer's letter. Kindly ...

My passport expires in two weeks time, and tbh I was in and out for four months in 2008. I think I will wait until August, have my passport renewed and then apply for it

Make NCS aware of the dates. They normally use Royal Mail Nextday delivery so they know when the application is received. Remember that only full days (24 hours) outside the UK are considered as absence. Thanks a lot Jambo, I left on 16th July and came back 4 days later, so my NCS appo is on 12th a...

Is there any information on what is considered the application date if we apply through NCS ?

Else I think I wil have to wait until September, four months in 2008 I was away 4 days every week !

I knew that travelling will come back to bite me

I don't understand why you think this is strange. For naturalisation, the qualifying period is 5 years (unless married to BC) and the law requires you to be present in the UK at the beginning of this period. Your previous immigration history is not relevant. The reason I think it was strange is bec...

I am sorry if this is already answered, I searched but couldnt find a definitive answer. I am a limited company director on minimum salary and take dividends. Do I need to provide the self-assessment statement of account? There are contradicting posts on here so I am not really sure what the answer ...

Hi daisy80,

Did you provide any self assessment docos >

I am in same boat, I am planning to give just the NI number, although I do take dividends

one of the statements in the guide says that you should be physically present 5 years before the date the application reaches HO: Please note: You should also check that you were physically present in the UK 5 years (3 years if you are married to or in civil partnership with a British citizen) befor...

If you mean paying taxes via my NI, then yes apart from taking dividends as director I do pay myself a very minimal salary and pay NI.

Hi , I was on HSMP + Tier 1, got my ILR last march and eligible to apply for naturalization. I had few questions, would appreciate if someone could help. 1. My passport is about to expire, does it matter to the HO? I am going to use NCS for my application. 2. As a director of limited company, I take...

Mohit, I had some missing stamps for my short trips to Netherlands, and I applied for SAR, specifically asking for my entry exit details. They sent me docs back in 40 day window however they dint have any information about my netherlands trip. they gave me information about india trips but clearly s...

I had three entry stamps missing when coming back to UK from Netherlands, I had 16 trips in 4 months between UK and Netherlands. When I applied for SAR requesting details of entry and exit they sent me only details of India trips. they clearly stated that this is the only data they hold about my ent...

PSB,

my appo was 8:45 and was let in at 8, thats why I said that the earlier the appointment better the chances of being unaffected by the IT issues...

I had my ILr approved this afternoon with one dependant, please feel free to ask if you have any specific questions, however there are few recommendations I have that might contradict many other forum users opinion. I am a limited company director and used dividend vouchers and payslips and personal...

thanks for your reply again. I am ok with the 23rd may appointment, I just wanted to find out if 23rd is ok because in terms of days If I add 28 days to 23rd may ( including 23rd may ) I get 19th of June which is my visa date expiry, so I just wanted to make sure that 23rd of may is ok for the claus...

Thanks for your reply.

Yes it was a change of visa from SEGS to HSMP.

My visa expires on 19th June and subtracting 28 days gives me 22nd May.

So can I apply on 22nd May or does It have to be after 22nd may?

thanks.

I have my tier 1 visa from 19th June 2007 to 19th June 2012, all in country application. I will be finishing 5 years on 19th june 2012. If i use date calculator to subtract 28 days from 19th June I get 22nd May 2012. When can I apply for my ILR ? I have an appo booked on 23rd May, I hope it falls wi...

I have payslips like normal payslips, not on my company letter head and hence not planning to get them attested

hi, One of the proof for earnings I am going to use is dividend vouchers, do we need to have them attested by the accountant ? I thought they are company documents produced by the secretary or director and so do not need accountant attestation. Also do the vouchers need to mention all three net divi...

Bash1oo,

7 working days or 7 days ? I asked the lady whom i spoke to and she said it will take 14 working days, which is almost three weeks..

I hope it comes in a weeks time

we had exactly same issue wiht my wife's certificate, however they pick up the first name and last name from the online account you have created and in our case my wife made the mistake and hence her name was transposed. They did mention that they will put a note but I dint want to take any risks an...
