Hi there I don't think they are looking for corresponding entry stamps from the countries you visited. I went to Ireland from Belfast there was no entry or exit stamp fro either countries however I still declared it to be truthful. I am sure HO know when you leave the UK even though they practice ex...

Do you think the following question falls under the freedom of information request: As a percentage, how many PEO appointments require further checks? Has anyone already asked this question? If not, can you please tell me the email where this should be sent to? You can go ahead and ask them but we ...

Dear All, I was granted British citizenship and received passport in June 2013. A new situation at work meant that I had to migrate to Dubai in July 2013. I have been back to UK a couple of times since. During my last visit, I had some questions by the immigration officer at the airport about my em...

I think they have approved quite a few application up until the mid October even though there was a delay in debiting the fee.hopefully, November applications will come through by Xmas

It is one of those articles intentionally not considering Britain's politics and history but trying to sound as if the UK government is giving out british citizenship outside home office in Croydon.

got a letter from the home office after writing a complaint letter stating that they need more documents for my application.... I am going to send them off 2mr but I dunno now if they ask for more documents how much longer I have to wait till I get a decision.... can't believe on the 8th of Jan it ...

Sorry I don't mean to rain on your parade, but this notion that the HO treats some nationalities less favourably is pretty thin. No one can say that what in essence is discrimination based on nationality is anything but mere conjecture. The British Nationality Act 1981 doesn't operate in a vacuum, ...

I would send it as soon as you receive the acknowledgement letter. If you wait for them it's just going to delay your application. I will do it like that. they will think I am mad. is there any reference numbers in the acknowledgement letter? or my name and DOB will be enough? People often send ext...

Even several time I had send email to the home office but unfortunately the reply is just ongoing process about 5 time since Feb I envelved my MP but again unfortunately reply is the same the home office put yo...

Hi Friends, Is anybody having an experience of getting late acknowledge of application from HO? My application was submitted in first week of Oct2014 but the HO still did not charge the fee yet. Any possible reasons? Hi there, look at the October 2014 timeline thread. It seems like others have the ...

When did your gap year start and end? Did you lose your old passport during your gap year?

It would be a better idea to list what she has received the for two years so we can try to advice you whether they would work or not . Since you have two months to apply for ilr ,I would try to put her on some my of my bill

I am INDIAN. Can some one who had gone through this procedure of naturalisation and british passport please tell me 1. When you send the BRP and current INDIAN passport for British passport do you get back the BRP with the original documents ? 2. When you submit the current INDIAN passport for canc...

No, nothing yet. Both seem to be coming a lot more slowly for applicants in October than they did for applicants in August & September, sadly! I believe that they have received your application? If not I would contact them. End of the day they want your money as quickly as possible. Taking the ...

Have you received an acknowledgement letter from the h.o?

Sadly it is common , and no one really knows why the h.o can't make a decision on the same day. It might take from 2 weeks to a few months. There are other posts about it.

They will be able to check your immigration history and besides, your UK entry stamp should be able to confirm your 3 years residence etc. Thanks, I guess the letter they wrote when they granted the spouse visa should help as well? Yes I have plenty of uk entry stamps . Do home office normally reta...

I am in the same situation as well. They did not give the brp back saying they can't and they need to keep it. Is it a common practice? Has anyone been in the same situation and given citizenship?
