Hi, I am sponsoring my husband for his settlement spouse visa and we applied for VFS Hyderabad on 24th Jan 2019. Before the appointment, we paid online in VFS website for Super Priority Visa which should give decision in 24 hours. But on appointment day, VFS Hyderabad staff mentioned that this Super...

Hi All, Just to update you all that I have received my Naturalization approval today :D I had applied for UK NARIC certificates in Fast track for English language assessment and also Statement of Comparability for my graduation done in India. It costed me an additional £250 but well worth the effort...

Hi wildstreak,

Did your application go through successfully without PBS Calculator points? What all documents you have provided for satisfying English Language Requirement?

Thanks,

Hi, I have applied for naturalization and I got letter from home office asking for proving my English qualification. I had already submitted my B.Tech certificate and the letter from University confirming the medium of instruction is in English. Also in the Form AN, I chose the option that I passed ...

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. Surprisingly, they said its not a big deal even though I dont have my husband's original passport as they can identify who my husband is t...

Hi noajthan, I met a solicitor to explain my case and to see the confidence level about my case. As per him, 1. Even if my husband gives his original passport/naturalization certificate to me, I will not be able to qualify for the 3 year stay route being spouse of British citizen. He says, that 3 ye...

Ya and its a bit expensive also just to get a duplicate certificate, they charge £162. As u suggested,I will leave it as second option.

Ya its a good way indeed to get the duplicate copy which I wasn't aware of at all.
I will apply with plan A first and if things dont work, I should go with plan B. But then also, I should apply for the duplicate naturalisation certificate with out the date of registration question filled.

The plan B looks good. But I need to enter the "Date of registration or naturalisation:" in one of the questions in this form which I don't know. Also, I may also need to carry my husbands original british passport along with this naturalisation certificate right which I don't have. So it ...

Oops, no appointments available before 7th March 2016 with NCS and I have to apply for my naturalization before 5th March itself. So I may have to skip NCS and apply myself if I dont get any prior appointments :( Also, in my cover letter is it ok for me to say that my british husband left me and hen...

Hi noajthan,

Btw, is the allowance of upto 730 days absence in last 7 years not guaranteed and only discretionary??

@noajthan,

Sure, I will go through NCS for my application.

Thanks a lot noajthan.

Hi noajthan, 1. Yes I have degree taught in English, Life in the UK certificate and also I am in permanent job in UK with very good income. My son is living with me and he also has british passport. But I dont have own house here, so is it still ok to prove that I have established substantial amount...

Hi noajthan, I did not understand why I must apply before November 2016. Of course, I would apply asap now, but want to know why that deadline. Also can you please direct me to a link where I can get the list of documents required to apply under this 7 year long stay category and application form et...

Hi noajthan , I just did rough estimate of my absences in total. I entered UK first time on 29th Dec 2008 and it means I am resident in UK for 7 years and 2 months. So I have 720 days of gap in total of 7+ years stay but only been outside UK for 28 days in last 12 months. So, I should be able to app...

Hi noajthan, Thanks for your response. I only have the xerox copy of my husband's British passport first and second pages with photo and other important details like passport number etc but not any other blank pages. Will that be sufficient to apply for naturalization, and may be by explaining my cu...

Hi, Thanks for your response. As I mentioned earlier, my husband abandoned me and my child 4 months ago and he took all his documents with him. So I do not have his original passport/naturalisation certificate copy with me. I just have a xerox copy of his british passport but dont have any copy of n...
