I have received my Deed Poll and it has 2 sections which says "Singed by the above named" and "Formerly known as" I don't know whether to sign these sections (I have a squiggle signature so it is not changed by my name change) or do I write my new name in the "Singed by the ...
The certificate is not printed at the ceremony. Once approved, it is printed and SENT to the council to complete the date you attend the ceremony. She can change her name by deed poll after she receives her certificate and before she applies for her passport. Thanks for your reply. So you are sayin...
Hi Everyone My wife just received her approval for naturalization.

Many thanks for your email. My dad submitted his application 11 months ago and did his fingerprints about a month or so later - he has been waiting for 11 months for his initial interview following his asylum application but absolutely no news. We wrote to them a letter 3 months ago and they said th...
Many thanks for your reply. But unfortunately it is not answering my initial query. Like I said in my initial post my dad has been waiting for an interview following the submission of his asylum application 11 months ago. It has been 11 months of waiting and he still has not received the initial int...

He has been waiting for the past 11 months but he has not received an interview date yet or any othe...
Thank you Jazz
She passed the Life in The UK test first attempt. Is there any material to read or past test papers to practice for this test or do you suggest she should just go to the centre and do the test?
Thanks for your reply but to pass the B1 certificate do you have to attend an English course? if so how long is the course i.e. days or weeks? and where can she do the course?
Thanks
Many thanks for your detailed response. My wife only has the Life in the UK Test certificate as B1 was not part of requirement when she applied for ILR in April 2013. Can you please let me know how long does it take to complete the B1 course and get the certificate and where can she do the course/te...
Hi My wife entered the UK on Spouse visa on 29/April/2011 and after 2 years she obtained her ILR sated 05/05/2013. My questions are: 1. Can she apply for British citizen ship before 29/Aprile/2014 (this is when she completes 3 years of stay)? 2. She has the Life in the UK certificate - someone told ...
My wife joined me in the UK on a spouse visa 29/April/2011. She applied for her ILR 2 months ago and received her ILR (in the form of Bio-metric Resident Permit BRP) 3 days ago - I know she can apply after the first anniversary of her ILR for British Citizenship. However I heard that one can apply f...
I called UKBA and the advisor said she can't answer the questions but if I have children I should answer accordingly i.e. say YES to question 3.1 and skip the rest of the section 3. I called again and spoke to another advisor she said that since both my children are British I should skip the whole s...
I'm fairly certain that the "shared responsibility" bit would be if you have a car loan, mortgage or something of the sort in both your names. The children bit in Section 3 gave me such a headache that I called the UKBA over it! I was told that if your kids are British and are not part of...
Thank you for clarifying the BRP. I have some further questions can you please help me: Do I have to print the form double sided in booklet format or just an ordinary A4 one sided print is acceptable? - Double sided or single sided A4 - so do you mean to say it does not matter whether it is double ...
Thank you for clarifying the BRP. I have some further questions can you please help me: Do I have to print the form double sided in booklet format or just an ordinary A4 one sided print is acceptable? Page 7 asks: when did partner obtain settlement in the UK? I arrived in the UK on 19/10/1997, I got...

My wife's was a spouse visa application not an immigration application , I wonder if I still answer YES to this question.

Yes or No If not enclosed then please state the location of Biometric Residence Permit Returned to UK Border Agency - go to question 3 Lost - go to questio...
The Biometric Resident Permit is a card. Biometric info like a picture and fingerprints are taken in order for this card to be issued. They want you to submit the card with the application, and if you don't have the card, you need to tell them what happened to it. If her visa was issued in her pass...
We are filling the ILR form SET M for my wife. But we are really confused about the BRP section. My wife has done some finger prints and image taken in Pakistan and she submitted it with her spouse application form at FedEx, they did not give her a copy of the those prints. Now, if you read through ...
