Whoever owns the credit card or the bank account that which will be debited should normally put his/her name on the applicant's details. Just leave the HO ref part blank. However, If you're applying through NCS, they normally fill this form out for you.
1. Your child's registration and your naturalisation application may be done simultaneously.
2. Just put a note that it's a child registration under section 3(1).
You need to submit all your uncancelled passports. Uncancelled Passports by IPS definition include the passport which you are currently using and those passports which are already expired, and which Have not had the corners cut off.

Assuming that she has met all the standard requirements for naturalisation, your wife needs to fill out and complete the AN form herself. You can't apply for her, unfortunately.
You may refer to the link below. You may also check the AN guide which can also be found in the same link. There is also a list of FAQs about naturalisation posted in this forum.
Your finances and employment status are immaterial in your application for naturalisation. Just as long as you meet the standard requirements, you should be fine :)
[quote="squirrel_land"]Alright, I made another call to NCS and this time was a different lady who sounded a lot smarter, as soon as I said my purpose she told me that there would be a long wait, and the earliest date that is available will be 1st Oct. Oh well, I can't wait for that long so...
NCS will not reply to your queries regarding your eligibility to apply for naturalisation as they are not 'equipped' to do so. The person you spoke to rightfully instructed you to call UKBA instead if you need nationality advice. However, you can save precious time from calling ukba by assessing you...
Apparently because the doctors are getting too many requests to sign forms and act as referees. Check this sticky thread: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p=440549#440549 Having said that, if you can't find any suitable referee for yourself, then your GP or any doctor you know should b...
Have you been granted your british citizenship? If yes, then your wife may apply for naturalisation as a spouse of a BC. This is assuming that she has met all the standard requirements and is free of immigration control. Please read through the link below as it contains all the basic information tha...
If you may, then I suggest that you just wait until you meet the residential standard requirement period. Discretion is supposedly allowed by HO but I have yet to meet someone who has taken the risk in using discretion in their application :) Here's the link about discretion in absences from ukba: h...

[quote="aaeran"]Hi, Many thanks for answering my query. How long does the process of registration and passport takes? The link you have provided states 3-6 months. Is there an option to expedite the process? I am planning to travel soon after I get ILR. Regards, Ankur[/quote] If you have i...
Hi, Ankur. Just to clarify again, the links I posted are meant specifically for Children's registration for British Citizenship ONLY. If you have queries regarding your personal application for ILR please go to the Indefinite Leave to Remain forum so you can be given the appropriate advice.
Hi, cosmos. Is your son present in the uk now? If he is, then once you apply for naturalisation, you may also consequently apply for his registration as British Citizen (under section 3(1)). You need not wait for your naturalisation approval before doing this. How old is your son, by the way? It's r...
[i]"I would to know if it is possible to directly apply for British Citizenship for my child once we have obtained ILR."[/i] Hi, Ankur. You asked if you can apply (register is the more appropriate term, as a matter of fact) your child as BC once you obtained your ILR and I replied accordin...

Aren't the moderators reading this long post which seems to have already gotten out of hand?? I absolutely agree with gandhig, let's just all be friends in this forum. We have sought other people's help at one point, regardless how trivial or major our concerns were so, yes, we are all on the same b...
You may apply for your child assuming that he is under 18 because otherwise he needs to apply for BC as an adult. The type of application depends on your son's circumstances. I suggest that you read through the MN1 guide first since this has all the basic information you need about children's BC app...
Both you and your husband each need to submit an application form as all naturalsation application are considered individual. Hence, both of you should also have two referees each (although you may have the same set of referees). Was your son born After you obtained your ILR? If yes, then he's entit...
He said he's having tqhe referee page signed on August 20 when he's applying on September 10. So prior to September 10, his form may be signed anytime.
Assuming that she has separated at the time of application, she has to meet the residency requirement of 5 years for single applicants. Please tell her to read through this link. It contains all the information she needs know when applying for naturalisation http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishc...
