I wll do that. Thanks

Last Saturday was a very sad day for me. I received in the post a NIP for speeding and a PCN for using bus lane, both on the same day when I was on my way to NCS to submit the Citizenship application of my wife and I. This happened on the 28th October; No excuses, but I guess the anxiety played a ro...

Pls Suggest if I can submit my IELTS certificate for the neutralisation which is still valid.

Pls suggest as im going to submit my papers next week.

Looking for your valuable reply

Thanks

Yes you can. That is what the HO actually expects you to do.

I just had a look at the fees and it states: 'The total amount including the ceremony fee is shown on the tariff overleaf'. I would think this means that the £80 pp ceremony fee is included in the £1 550. The only time you have to include an extra £80 is when you apply for a child who will turn 18 ...

Hi, I am looking for some advice... On Monday my partner is going to apply to be naturalised as a British citizen, through our local nationality checking service. We are going to be out of the UK visiting her parents for the whole of December. My question is, should we write this on the additional ...

It is for this reason that I am still in half a mind to go ahead and take the IELTS just to be sure. My advise is just take IELTS and then you are sure. £125.00 in the big scheme of how much you have spent on this is not too much. I just did that, I took IELTS in 2010 to renew my T2 ICT for more th...

Many thanks Amber. In the new citizenship form there is no box to tick for those with UK qualification. Shall we make a separate note on the form? Regards, There is an option, you tick on "(ii) The qualification was taught or researched in the UK or a majority English speaking country (other t...

Hi Amit, Thanks for your reply. My question is that I have UK degree , taught and researched in English at University of East London. . NARIC evaluates foreign degrees. Whey do I need to send my degree (UK qualification) to NARIC. Regards, You just need to present your certificate as long as it's a...

I and my wife just came back from NCS submitting our application. I have done IELTS around three months ago and my wife presented her Msc degree from UK university. no issues at all. The lady that attended us didn't even know it was a new form released last Friday; I had to educate her on it. We hop...

Good thing is they did not reformat the pages. Referees are still in page 14 therefore I can use the page already signed and Just fill the rest once again.

You could do that or just swap the referee page into the new form. You should check also that the NCS will accept the old form. Following you advice, I wrote to the NCS and they advised there is no other form different than Sept 2013. I understand you may have better inside information than my loca...

Thank you for the update Amber. Good luck Pqek. Agree it is ridiculous to release the form on the day you need to start using it. I've decided to delay our application with two weeks to give me time to download new form and see what happens with new rules. Also planning to apply at Edinburgh NCS. D...

You could do that or just swap the referee page into the new form. You should check also that the NCS will accept the old form. Let's see how it goes. I have appointment at 11 am and live 2 hours away of Edinburgh. Not sure if we have enough time to fill new forms for me and my wife. We were just u...

I have been informed that the Form, Guide and Booklet AN are being updated to reflect the new knowledge of language and life in the UK requirement. This will be available on the website on Monday 28th October 2013. Thanks Amber for info, that answers my earlier question on the forum, I have appoint...

I assume that will be applied to naturalisation as per the current option, one will need to wait until the 28-oct-2013 when the new AN form is released to be sure. You talk about a new AN form to be released on 28th October; do you have any basis to state this different than the fact that the new f...

However, if you can prove one of the above then, Your date of application will always be the date of posting which can be done on a saturday (although before 1:00 PM at selected post offices) This is incorrect.your date of application is the date Home office receive the application which will be on...

IELTS General Training is easy if you have a minimum understanding of english.

I booked in Edinburgh around three/four months in advance. Just leave the message, they will call you back.

hi all, bit confused. me n my husband gor ILR 25/10/2012 on basis of my 5 years of workpermit. now according to ukba i think we qualify for naturalization 24/10/2013 so does it mean that my application can reach ukba on 24/10/2013 n after that. so can i go for NCS on 23/10/13 or it has to be 24th. ...

Nothing personal, I read your posts every day and I think you do a great job on this forum. Just expressing respectfully my feelings.

I was on a similar situation than the OP with 2 speed violations while driving with international driver license. I went to court and the outcome was that prosecutor dropped the case in one and I got a fine of £60 and 3 penalty points on my license. I thought I could never get ILR until I found this...
