dear board members,

do you know how does nationality office return the documents for example degree certificates ets sent as part of the application?

Cheers

Can board members please share
- how much time it took for their naturalisation to get approved
- what method they applied: NCS or post
- Are they still awaiting the decision

Cheers

hello david,

how much time it took for you to get the naturalisation approved?

Cheers

hello basis,
i am not too sure about this. May be other members can comment.

Cheers

hello john,
i think they charged something near 35 pounds.

hello basis,

i think along with a degree from india a letter may also be needed to say that the course was conducted in English.


Cheers

hi,

i went to harigey NCS few days back. Drop in service. There were not any big queues. Quite a useful service.

Cheers

Does some board member have experience visiting the Haringey office? How long are the waiting times? what all documents are required?

I am assuming that they themselves will photocopy and attest all the passport pages.

Cheers

Thanks Jospeh. I got an appointment in Brent for end of this month. Will let you know how it gets through.

Cheers

hi,
does anybody know which centre i can get an early appointment for nationality checking service. I called up wandsworth and they don't have any apointment till 6th September which is too far?

Thanks
Bhavna

as i understand they normally check these dates from the immigration stamps in the passport. So would that be OK if they never find a particular date in the passport? So for example i left UK on 18th July and arrived in the destination country on 19th July, so i would put 18th July as the date of de...

Dear All, During the residence requirements for naturalisation application, all absences from last 5 years needs to be listed. I had a small query regarding the relation between date of departure from UK and the actual destination country immigration stamp on the passport. Sometimes because of fligh...

hello user,

Congrats on your approval.
cna you please tell us that what proof did you give for the english language requirement?

Thanks

hi john, As per the form old/new passport and letter from home office should be sufficient. But section 4 is a bit confusing as to documents required to prove that you have been continously residing in UK to prove that ILR status has been maintained. I think this is actually quite evident from the p...

Dear Board members,

Has somebody recently been to home office for this - transfer of ILR stamp into new passport or applied by post. Could you please share the experience as to what documents you were asked to produce?

Thanks

Dear Board members, I have got an indian passport with indefinite leave to remain in UK. Recently we were blessed with a baby boy and are planning to apply for his british passport. Can you please tell us the documents i need to send with the application. I am thinking if the following may be enough...

hi kayalami,
i was granted ILR in July this year.

This was the first time i travelled outside uk since then.

Cheers

hi tnavon,

do you mean to say that for a person having ILR every time he leaves and comes back to UK, the passport will be stamped.

Cheers

Hi, Previously i was on work permit. In this case whenever i used to go out of UK and come back , the IO at Heathrow never used to put any kind of date stamp in my passport. Recently i got ILR. However this time when i went out of UK for about two weeks and came back the IO put date stamp in my pass...

Thanks Chess.

I don't exactly recall but sometime back there were some concessions given to overseas students who are completing their degrees in UK ?

Can you please remind me if there was anything like that ?

Thanks

hi, Would appreciate if somebody can give inputs on this. one of my friend has a student visa valid until October 2004. She is finishing her course in Uk in September. Can she start working in the Uk without a work permit ? Or does it need to be applied once she finds a job. What if she is not able ...

they have to just write that the employment is continuing nothing else
something like this

To whomsoever it may concern
This is to certify that Mr/Ms XX is working in our company as a permanent employee since xx/xx/xxxx and the employment is continuing

hi kavitha,
it is required to submit bank statements for last three months.
Cheers

Yaa the question in the application form is a bit confusing. 3.1 When did you first enter the UK? 3.2 Since then have you had any absences of 3 months or more outside the UK? What i understand in 3.2 they are asking about 3 months or more continous absence ? Am i correct ? Kayalami and others : Can ...

Hi,

What i mean is

talking about a passport which is valid but has run out of pages - issuing authorities issue a new booklet with standard passport features having same validity as original one but with a different passport number. Original passport is not cancelled. Indian embassy does that.
