That's strange. I received acknowledgement letter with the application reference number even though I applied through NCS.

Hi, I initially emailed on the address given on HO website but just got automated reply. Then I called HO and found that I can send email on NationalityProgress@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk In my first email, I just provided my application ref number so they replied back saying that I need to provide Full ...

This exact thing happened to me! . They told me they had my certificate and were waiting for me to confirm my ceremony booked for 5th April. They were able to confirm it over the phone and I thought that was that. Thanks for sharing your experience. What information did you provide to Hackney counc...

Just wanted to know, what happens if the naturalisation approval letter doesn't reach the recipient (lost in transit)? I know homeoffice won't reply on the progress of the application until six months from the date of application. Does any one have any experience where they contacted homeoffice aft...

Hi, I am about to apply for Naturalisation on the basis of 5 years HSMP + 1 year ILR. I am not sure what do I need to write in 1.24 Your father's town and country of birth.

Sorry, I should have clarified it before. It's for "Leave to remain".

Hi,

Can someone pls let me know the email id to contact UKBA for any general visa related enquiry.

I used to email on "UKBApublicenquiries@UKBA.gsi.gov.uk" but this time I haven't received any acknowledgement from them so it may have been changed.

Regards

Thank you so much. Does anyone have any experience with Sunrise solicitors?

Yes, I got my ILR through them. They are good and their charges are reasonable compared to other solicitors in London.

Hi All, I received ILR for me and my wife. My case was HSMP JR + Tier 1 and my wife hasn't finished two years in the UK yet.I applied through a solicitor on same day service.

Dependant of Tier 1 migrant covered under HSMP JR does not have to meet two years requirement. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/working/t...

Hi,

I am currently on Tier 1 visa. Due to apply for ILR in Feb 2012. I am covered under HSMP JR but my wife hasn't finished two years in the UK yet.

From other posts I can see that my wife can also apply for ILR with me. Can someone pls suggest a good solicitor from their experience. Please PM me.

Congratulations Sandeep. Can you pls. let me know your solicitors details ?

Thanks sushdmehta. I have read the posts and it's really annoying that caseworkers don't follow the same guidline.

As per the new guidance notes "If you have a spouse or civil partner listed in section 2 of this application form who is applying at the same time as you, please provide documentary evidence of cohabitation since you were last granted leave (up to a maximum of two years). Evidence provided shou...
