I've got it signed in 2 separate sheets. Can I write a covering letter and include it in the application form as I don't have any other options. I've got my NCS appointment on the 22nd.

Any suggestions appreciated

Thanks in advance

Hi Not sure what you mean by - don't give home office any ideas. I can see the citizenship applications are approved in 4 weeks time if I submit through NCS.

Hi flyingbeen,
Can you let us know when you got your EC (entry clearance) and the date you entered the UK. Just need to get clarified whether we can apply 28 days before the 5th anniversary provided we entered uk within the 90 days from the entry clearance date.

Thanks in advance,
