I managed to speak with someone in HO to complain on why I needed to get my degree assessed by NARIC as being taught in English, despite obtaining a letter from my university at the time of initial HSMP application. She said the assessment carried out by NARIC is 2 fold; I agree with your views, un...

Thanks p2kin.

The problem is I don't want to submit originals at all. I'll wait and see how this pans out in the next few weeks.

What has Statement of Comparability got to do with Naturalization? Does it mean you have to obtain a degree to apply for BC? The thing is although you have a degree taught in English, that degree still should be at the level of Bachelors/Masters/PhD in UK. So that means you have to prove that you h...

Moved from my original post for continuity... Hi All, Just back from NCS where I had appointment booked for my BC checks before submission. Everything was OK for my wife and son, but I had some issues regarding; 1. Gaps between when old passport expired and when the new one was re-issued. They said ...

Thank you very much Jambo. I prefer not taking a risk - incase it takes 6 weeks. In that case... would I not be hassled at UKBA when entering back? Would I need a Right of Abode stamp? Do i travel with the naturalization certificate? When landing back in UK, i fill in landing card - what nationalit...

Confirmation from HO dated 20th September 2013.

p.s: on another note, I rang HO yesterday to confirm about Degrees taught in the UK and they confirmed that on English test is required for those who have got a degree from a UK university. So what if you have degree that was taught in English but was not in UK/English major nation? Can you please ...

Thanks everyone for your posts. I am really pleased with your contributions. I have now decided to wait until the Mrs has successfully carried out the B1 test before applying for naturalization. We have waited this long to get to this point. Don't think it's worth ruining it now. Is there anyone on ...

Thanks Innocentdevil. Do you know if Home Office can receive applications that arrive on Saturday? Even though I qualify for exemption from B1 test, my spouse probably does not, as she only has HND abroad, as explained in my last post. I was thinking of making a joint application to save some money....

Since my previous posts on this matter has been unearthed, am still pretty unclear whether or not I can send application to UKBA to receive Saturday morning. The issue is not very much about possibility of sending the application to reach UKBA by Saturday 26th October. It's whether or not there will...

Thanks All for your response. Looks like we might have to write this English language exam or whatever it is we have to do. The next inquiry I have is this. My family and I (wife and son included) arrived the UK with HSMP Visa (now Tier-1 General). As part of the initial application I was required t...

Hi All, I qualify for naturalization on Saturday, the 26th of October 2013, as I received ILR exactly same time last year. However, with the new requirement for English language taking effect on the 28th of October this year, I am keen on submitting my application before the new change takes effect....

The "21 days old application" doesn't apply to naturalisation. In fact, unlike immigration applications there is no legal requirement to submit any form with the application. However, I believe the OP issue is not the form itself but whether he would need to meet the new language requirem...

Generally it is the date of the postmark that is taken as the application date. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/studying/adult-students/applying-inside-uk/when-to-apply/ Click on the section 'What is the date of your application'. Worth sending it 'special post' and keep the rec...

If you apply before the new requirement then no if after yes. Thanks Pennyless. The problem I have is that I qualify to apply for naturalization Saturday 26th October 2013. If I apply by post (special delivery) on 26th October 2013, it would at best get to UKBA by Monday 28th October 2013. If UKBA ...

Hi Guys,

I understand anyone applying for ILR and Naturalization after 28th October 2013 would need to meet a new knowledge of language and life requirement. I qualify for naturalization on 26th October 2013. Does it mean I have to meet this requirement as well?


Kind regards

Hi All Can someone please advise if I know a british recruitment consultant for more than 3 years via emails/phone but never met him in-person though, can I still use his reference on application for naturalisation. Is there a requirement to have met the referee in-person. Thanks for any assistance...

Be patient. Am sure you want someone knowledgeable to respond to your query.

Am not yet conversant with the new rules so can't comment on it.

Hi Adojay, Thanks a million for your response. No, we where not married when I got my Tier1 visa so I guess we will still require Co-hab docs. Lol!, thanks for reminding me to add our LIUK test cert. :) I almost forgot that one. Please, dont mind if I ask, did you apply under the same circumstance ...
