It says "delete if not applicable", so - assuming that it is not applicable - do not tick, but (cleanly, with a ruler) cross it out.

Yes.

after my marriage to an EEA in 2009 who has her British Citizenship now. (Sorry I had forgotten to add her British Citizenship) You earlier wrote that you two applied together - now what is it? If you confused HO in the same way, it is no wonder that they rejected your application. In any case, fro...

just to go there and book a ceremony? do they ask any questions? my boyfriend has a passport with student visa in it. Don`t want to be accused of a sham marriage or reported to home office. Can you tell me what do they ask for in registry office? They will definitely want to see and verify the pape...

The 3 year rule applies if married to a British citizen, not to an EEA citizen. Read section B of the booklet BN7, as advised by the HO. Since you did not exercise EU treaty rights (as spouse) for 5 years, and are not married to a British citizen for 3 years, the UKBA is right, as usual.

Any help please? Check the other countries section, this question has been regularly asked and answered there, for example here , here and here . Basically, from the day of your naturalisation your citizenship is British (according to Indian law). The Indian law grants you a 3 months grace period w...

The photo studio should be able to take a picture of yours with glasses on without reflection. I had provided the photo with glasses on for form AN. And one without for British passport. Technically, glasses are allowed even for passports (see here and here ). However, there must be absolutely no r...

My professional reference marked date as 24/JAN/2013. AN application guidelines say all dates should be as 24/01/2013. Will this be problem and requires a change? No. The date is still clearly recognisable and unambigious. That page is probably not machine readable, so what. An application will not...

I only wish it was "the snow" in my case! Applied for BC on 3rd Jan via NCS Hamilton and haven't had fees deducted yet. Royal Mail Tracking says the special delivery arrived at the delivery office, but is "out for delivery"...trouble is that it has said the same every day for 2 ...

Oh, thanks, I misread that. I tought the last post indicated that the charge was still on. In that case, it will do squat, it means nothing.

Thanks for the reply, he is saying , what about being charged for assault ? would that have an effect on his application? Yes. "Caseworkers should not normally grant citizenship to someone who has a prosecution pending." ( see chapter 4 ). No decicion would be made until the court proceed...

I live in Belfast, NI unfortunately there is no NCS service available yet. Do you know if I have to come to mainland again to attend ceremony ??? I see no reason why you should. The ceremonies are completely independent from the NCS. Once HO received your application, the NCS is no longer involved ...

One council that takes Saturday appointments is for example West Berkshire (surcharge £20). It might be helpful if you specify in which region you live. The full list of NCS centres is here.

A silly question but just need to be sure, can i book Nationality Checking Service any where around? Please can some one confirm? Yes. Pick whatever center suits you - by location, price, personal preference, whatever criteria are important to you. You can submit your application through any partic...

if i made a application in may(which is 3 years is up), and refused, does it mean I can not make furthure application in like 5 years? 10 years or something? No. You are only banned 10 years (they don't call it that way, but that is what it effectively is) for "concealing the truth", i.e....

so it is safe to say, if i wait another 2 years which is 5 years in total. the conviction will have no impact on my application any more , that is cool Yes, personally, I would advise waiting until it is 5 years in the past, then you can be pretty sure that the conviction will have no impact on you...

Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 2012 >1 year: you conviction spent <3 years: cause refusal >3 years: not cause refusal Firstly, there is no such thing as a "Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 2012". You probably refer to the "Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012&qu...

BTW: what do you really mean if you say "illegitimate"? I thought the legitimacy would still be intact even if you are not married. I think you confuse illegitimate with illegal. In any case, there are numerous definitions and uses for legitimate: not only legally, but also politically, p...

If you look at the wording, all they changed was basically to introduce more room for discretion. Okay, let me put things as simply as I can. Your assault conviction will... under the old regulations: <5 years: cause refusal >5 years: not cause refusal (conviction spent) under the new regulations: <...

I understand common assault is a serious thing, but on the new rule , it clearly states that for non-prison conviction , you only need to wait 3 years, and u can apply. I agree that let it Seattle for a while is a good idea, but there is no specific guideline how what happen if applicant was wait f...

Hi all my question is on the requirement of referee who have known you MORE than 3 years. I have been here exactly 3 years so people here only have known me for just 3 years, what is meant by more, how long is that more. 3 years and a month, or 3 years an one days?! Exactly 3 years will do just fin...

I hope I can use her as professional reference.

Yes, that'll do nicely!

From what you are saying I can use my ex-HR as professional reference. She has moved to Canada two years ago but we are still in touch. Can I still use her as a professional reference (...) She is a British Citizen. Absolutely. For the application, one reference needs to be of professional standing...
