One of the two referees for your Naturalisation application should be a British citizen anyway. Why can you just get them to countersign the passport application at the same time if you are not sure?

dear friend, as i can see you are newly registered, do not expect any decent advise from here as many do not know what are they talking about (they tell you the problem, not the solution), i am telling you from my experince Not true. All moderators and most other people like secret.simon and many o...

Have you read CR001's post? You will still be required to have your biometric details taken. How are you going to do that if you've left the UK? At least have the biometrics out of the way before you travel.

Cheers,

Yes you will be required to provide your biometric details again.

Thanks ScopeD. I understand this. So are you saying that they will not issue new BRP cards against the biometric enrolment we did on 5th March as a part of our naturalisation application process. The current BRP I am holding as part of my current visa needs to be returned within 5 days of the cerem...

You don't get biometric cards for citizenship applications. Citizenship is not a visa. Thanks for a lightening reply. But at the same time they say that you have to return your biometric cards within 5 days of the citizenship ceremony. What does that exactly mean? Thanks in advance If your applicat...

Hello Everyone, I have booked my naturalization ceremony on 23rd March. Do I need to wait for my certificate before I book the passport interview or can be done before. The problem is I starting a new job from 4th April and will not be able to take holidays for few days. So want to make sure I get ...

Hi, I have submitted my application at NCS as spouse of British Citizen without his original passport and just had a copy of only the photo page of his passport.

Your ILR becomes null & void after naturalisation as a citizen is not subject to immigration controls - so the BRP will be null & void too. Even if someone hangs onto their BRP does not mean they can wave it at an airline worker & board a plane. Airlines increasingly have systems in pla...

im also in the same shoes but i believe i will get my brp even if i apply direct cause thats what i did. usatye I know it's been a while since you guys posted in this thread (hopefully you were successful in your naturalisation applications) but wanted to find out from you how you are getting on wi...

Personally, I think they could enliven the citizenship ceremony by carrying out the destruction of the BRP as a part of the ceremony. To get the certificate, you must surrender your BRP at the ceremony, which is then ceremoniously shredded as a part of the ceremony. Like baptism, you start your lif...

Golden rule of taxation; tax is due where the work is done. Not necessarily true. In some durisdictions, income earned during a period of temporary absence (and temporary absence can be defined in some places as anything under 180 days) will be taxable. Of course there may be some double taxation a...

I had my ceremony in Leeds this morning. Before closing the ceremony, they emphatically mentioned the new requirement to return BRPs within 5 days or risk the 1k penalty.

I assume you applied entirely by paper application rather than online. They normally don't return all of the applicant's documents with the exception of foreign or old passports. If they also returned your signed paper application, then likely something was not quite right. It's strange they wouldn...

Children, yes . Wife, after you are British. Hi Vinny, Thanks for your reply. But can my wife apply with me. And they can process both applications together. If mine is successful then they can consider her. No, your wife cannot apply with you because she does not currently fulfill the requirements...

Speaking of history lessons; The note on the front page of the UK passport still refers to "Her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State...". The government is of course officially HM Government. And that is why Australia (and other Commonwealth countries) does not send an Embassy to the UK...
