Thanks CR001. The invitation letter only mentions my name under 'Certificate Details' although I checked with the council and they have both, my and my partners certificates. Will my partners be rejected from attending the ceremony as her name and reference number is not mentioned on the invitation...

Hi All, Got a question: do we still have 6 months to book ceremony after we received invitation? The invitation letter says ceremony needs to be booked within 21 days of the letter date (which is 25 Sep). I cannot attend the ceremony for couple of months. HomeOfficer in their emails always said that...

I believe you are right - without invitation letter I think you cannot attend ceremony.

Today I received email confirmation from HO granting British Citizenship.

I want to thank CR001, Altherhase, everyone for your great and free advice, many thanks people for your support, your help to me and people like me is priceless. Thank you!

Thank you

Thanks CR001 for suggestion, I am thinking of that, if I am not guaranteed to come back in two weeks Ill stay here. Theoretical question: HO will not review application until Sopra Steria officially uploads documents, right? I am wondering if HO can still review documents that I already uploaded on ...

Thank you. Ill buy tickets now then

Hi all,

Update: I submitted application online but due to Covid19 my appointment with Sopra Steria for documents upload has been rescheduled for at least 6 weeks.

Question: if I travel outside of the UK now will this time be counted against '90 days during last 12 months' requirement?

Thank you

Good evening, Would somebody know if I would get full refund if I cancel application before attending Sopra Steria (before enrolling biometrics)? Govt link https://www.gov.uk/cancel-visa states: 'You won’t get your fee refunded if you cancel an application that you made in the UK.' However this does...

Thank you CR001 for your answer.

Apologies for back to back questions, I have one more question please:

If we don't attend our Sopra Steria appointment will I get fee and application back? So I could reapply this way without losing money?

Thank you AnotherUUID for your reply, If worst happens: 1) I lose money right (its for me and my wife, two applications)? The only option will be to reapply? If so, when will I be able to reapply ie is there a specific period one has to wait after refusal? or 2) Is there a way for rebut the decision?

Thank you CR001,

one last question please, is it better for me mention this mistake and provide explanation letter to upload in documents?

Oh God...

From you experience CR001 has there been instance when citizenship was still granted in this situation?

I thought the actual date would be date when I attend the appointment and they check my original passport (((( I want to kill myself

(((

Is there anyway I can amend this or is there anything I can do here CR001?

Dear CR001, all, SOS Could you please kindly advise: someone can apply for British Citizenship after 12 month from getting ILR, so I got ILR on 13 March 2019 but I completed British Citizenship online application on 2 March 2020 and booked appointment with Sopra Steria in end of March(ie after 13 Ma...

Dear CR001,

Theoretical question please:

Is it possible for only one applicant to attend British citizenship appointment (application is joint)? Say, another applicant has to leave country. Is this even allowed?

Many thanks!

Thank you CR001 for your answer,

I forgot to mention that I wanted to reschedule our appointment for earlier date, even tomorrow if possible, hence why was thinking to cancel and see if there was anything available earlier. But yes, it is huge risk.

Hello All, Hope everybody is feeling good in this extraordinary times. Would somebody kindly know following: 1. Once you submit application for British citizenship you can travel BUT those days you will be away from the UK will somehow affect the '90 days during last 12 months' requirement? Am I cor...

Hi All, Hope everyone is safe in this extraordinary times! I hope I am writing in the correct topic. My wife and I have British Citizenship application booked in Corydon centre on 31 March with Sofra Steria. Does anyone know: 1. Is it possible to rebook the application (we would love to rebook it ea...

Dear All, I want to share two quite bizarre scenarios I witnessed today. So yesterday I paid fee and submitted the naturalisation applications for me and my partner, I received details to book appointment for us to attend and upload documents on UKVCAS website, but then this happened: 1) Documents ...

2) Even more bizarre thing happened this evening when I received emails from Home Office with unique Case ID numbers stating that they received our applications and that they are being considered. How can they review application when I have not yet finished uploading documents and attended appointm...
