Still i guess will be called separately by different interviewers. I hope that you are not getting child with you for interview and it could be the problem if you both have same time slots. When we appeared for our interviews we specifically asked for slots one after another as we were having our s...

I can give you an informed answer as I just went through this process and had to get names officially changed (for different reasons). The naturalisation certificates did not have our middle names (for the whole family). We applied for the passport with the middle names as that is how all other iden...

Do they call individually or couples are called together for interview? Individually. When you book the appointment you will get separate slots. You said that you have interview on Sat. have you checked the times on the interview confirmation letter? Thanks. Actually that is the reason why I asked....

Thanks for sharing these. I was looking for questions as our interviews are on Saturday. Do they call individually or couples are called together for interview?

badbug, which local authority did you pay that price? if mine was offering it so cheap i would have definitely chose private as well but didn't see it necessary to pay the £150 they were asking when i am not in a hurry really. i am looking forward to the public ceremony though. Cheshire East. But I...

Just realised that the passport counter signatory had forgotten to put their passport number and the form has now been sent. This happened despite using the the Check and Send service. Our own fault for not checking. Anyway, what will happen now? Will the application be rejected and we have to appl...

I went with a private as I couldn't make the first available date that was a month away. And didn't want to wait for 2 months as I needed passport to travel. But my local council only charged £75 (should have been only £67 according to their website) for 2 adults so I was quite happy to pay this. I ...

Just received our approval letter! It took us 160 days in total to get it (applied on 28 March). However, we'd requested discretionary for my wife as she had spent more than 90 days in the last year so that was also a factor.

Good luck to all, patience is the key!

I applied on 28th March and I haven't still received anything. Just called UKBA but the lady just declined to give an update saying have to wait six months.

Hi Jambo, Thanks for the reply...yes I have gone through that already, however since my kid is only 2 years old (but born in UK), and only the health visitor is professionally engaged...and getting a reference from the health visitor here seems to be a difficult job..and thats the reason for checki...

If you carefully read the application form, for naturalisation there is no requirement for the referee to be engaged professionally with the applicant. He needs to have professional standing. Just write a family friend. For the child registration, the referee needs to be profesionally engaged with ...

I was having similar thoughts as the original poster. I have slightly different question. If you already have proof of address for whole family in India, ration card, birth cert etc, do you actually need to show passport for any entrance exam or admission? I don't think I had to when I studied ther...

Jambo,

Many thanks for your fast reply. We will certainly provide an explanation along with medical records if needed. The guidelines seem a little reassuring as she is at least within the 450 days limit.

Regards.

Hi all, I have read several posts about this but still have a query so posting a new thread. Apologies if there is a duplication. I along with my wife and older daughter received ILR in February 2010. My second daughter was born in March last year in India. She has indefinite leave to enter the UK. ...

Vinny, thanks. Actually I'd read that guidance which is quite useful. But can you/someone please let me know if there is a quicker way to process the settlement application, such as application in person?

Thanks in advance.

Can we apply for her registration as British straight in India? I know chances are slim but thought would still check. No, as she was born out of UK, she can not be registered as British Citizenship. Thanks for your response, I also read the guidance which mentions the same. However, I got an inter...

Hello all, Need some help regarding a visa for our newborn. My family is on ILR and my wife gave birth to our second daughter in India. I am aware that the newborn will need settlement visa normally. However, now I realise that it can take upto 3 months or more, which will also have an impact on our...

Tintin, I think I am just being very very over optimistic by even thinking about getting it this week, its just wishful thinking! lets just keep our fingers crossed! Good luck to you, keep us updated. OK, it seems your's is a similar application to mine (5 year on WP and Tier2). I posted my stat a ...

Guys, I see a lot of ILR under 10 yr rule statistics. Are there any available for SET (O) under 5 year rule (WP and Tier 2). I will truly appreciate if someone can get back to me. My situation is as follows: Application sent: 08 Dec 2009 Payment taken: 09 Dec 09 Ack received: 10 Dec 09 waiting now. ...

Hi, We all know that when applying in person for ILR at any PEOs, the depandants are not required to attend. Has anyone able to find this information on the UKBA website or anywhere in written ? Hi, I am also in the same situation. Trying to find out whether I must take all dependents when applying...
