Thanks mate for your reply.


Still the question, is the fact they as a private company issued this parking charge notice, is this considered to be a traffic offence? Do we have to declare it on AN application at this stage?

Hi, Just to be clear with things may I ask some experts to advise on this issue. 1- Wife parked our car in a shopping center car park and paid by sms service provided by the private company operating this car park. 2- There was a mistake from their side and they issued her a parking charge notice. W...

ILR is different because you are there at the PEO and pay it there and then using your card. Now, can someone who " actually " used NATWEST Debit Card to pay for naturalisation application update us with did they do about the online transaction further pin you normally asked for. Please no...

Debit Card can be tricky, Natwest has a further security code for online transactions so the payment section only asks you about card number abd the security code (the 3 digits ) at the back of the card. So how will they know the online transaction security code when they attempt to charge the fees?...

Hi , Can both of the two referees " personal friends of you"? I have asked my referees to fill in section 5 and both answered " how do you know the applicant " question by stating " I am a personal friend of the applicant " which they are and both of them are british ab...

Hi Guys, can someone please clarify 1- I thought there is ONE AN application form but I read here people taking about AN6 (1) or AN6 (2). I am applying on the basis of 3 yrs spouse of BC which form do I need to use? 2- On AN form question 1.31 : my wife had 3 different FAMILY names before, 1 when sh...

[quote="cricinfo"][quote="imran22"]We all know that the language rules are changing around 28th October. As I am eligible to apply from 15th October I want to make sure I weed out any possibilities of my application returning without a decision. One of the things is payment. I kn...

Hello all I am looking for some help with a couple of questions I have regarding filling in AN. 1- 1.17 I am still in the same address for the past 5 yrs. can can I leave the date to empty or just write " present " on top of the boxes? 2- Addresses and dates you have been away, start from ...

Hello guys,

Sorry if this question has been answered before.

If you don't have any special requirement and meet all the requirements. do you still need to tick 6.6 or can just leave it blank?

hi gurus,

I have noticed in some topics here that your country of birth will define how long will take for HO to process your application.

Although this may sound unfair, but it is important to know what countries are on this list if a list exists anyway.

Thanks in advance.

Ayyubi72, thanks for being useful, as usual :) it is preparations rather worries ! such details are important. Now you and Jambo confirmed the way HO takes the money from your debit card is nothing similar to the online transactions, make natwest customers happy! Still if any forum members that paid...

D4109125, Not sure if you use natwest my friend but you cant make any online purchase with out 1- entering you debit card details including the 3 digits at the back 2- a new pop up opens and asks you for a further password that only the card holder will know! my question is clear, when you fill the ...

Hi all, Did anyone had issues with Natwest debit card payment being declined ? when taking the money , do government offices like HO need to provide the extra password normally requested by Natwest with every online transaction! Anyone paid for his application by a natwest debit card can reply to th...

that is confusing now!

So, Psb, have you received an invitation letter after that?

Big thank you guy for RoyalFlush & Alish60, you are correct they are clear letters unlike the generic one I got for ILR. Hopefully everything will be on order when the right time comes.
Cheers everyone and congratulations for both of you, all the best.

thanks all

thanks for both legalalien and ban.s for your replies

Well, thanks for all " kind" replies where everyone tried their best! Just to clarify, when I got my ILR last year in PEO the lady told me she will grant it on the day. I was also given a letter that HAS NOT a single word about approval but general information about ILR etc so I was just w...

Hi all,

Just wonder how do they word the approval letter for bc?

Hi all,
Please, can people how applied via Westminster NCS give us some feedback?
Also, feedback on other NCS in London that provide services on Friday are welcome.

Thanks everyone.
