It depends on what basis you are applying the passport.
If you are applying on the basis of naturalization then 2 and 3 blank are fine. You will still need full name of your mother although I don't think it will be an issue.

You can as long as you have all the documents with you. But I guess if you apply for your wife's ILR by post you will have to send your passport with the application in which case you cannot apply your BC. On a related note, are you sure your wife is eligible for ILR under 2 year rule. This rule cha...

1. If your son goes to a nursery or child minder then try to get their ref. Or try a nurse in your GP surgery. If you absolutely can't find anyone then go for whatever professional referee you can find, do make sure they qualify. In my personal opinion they are not very strict about referees for chi...

Oh ok Thank you so much, do u know how long a settlement visa take ... its been 5 weeks now since I submitted my application It has only been 5 weeks and you are already looking forward for progress - is this the first time you are applying for a visa with UKBA?? :D Jokes apart, around 3-4 months i...

If your referee is Engineer (with professional qualifications) it should be fine. If I remember correctly there was a specific criteria for engineers to be accepted as referees, just because you have an engineering degree doen't mean you can sign as a referee. The engineer had to be registered with...

Hello All, I am planning to get the reference for Passport application from my office colleague, who is an IT professional with Bachelor of Engineering Background. He recently got his BC few weeks back. Will this be fine, as the only other option I have is GP and from the forums I understand they a...

A couple of points here. 1. As far as I know MN1 is the wrong form for you, you probably need AN1. 2. Based on your reply I don't think your wife can apply for citizenship yet, I suggest you make sure she fulfils eligibility criteria for residence before you spend the money. For your questions, see ...

I dont understand why you need all these things for MN1. Can you please clarify who exactly is applying and for what?

No, there are separate fields for the current address.
Same for MN1. I am guessing your daughter is only a couple of years old, if so then in general dont worry too much about MN1 application as they are quite relaxed for young children - this is just based on personal experience.

..... The point am getting at is how important is DOB of parents/grandparents of naturalized citizens to HM Passport Office. Do they check what you provided earlier, or are their interview questions based on whatever you've provided in your form, plus observing one's body language as one answers th...

I think this is a hard one mate. There will also be the issue that for the identity interview for first passport they almost always ask you for the parents details including date and place of birth - I am not sure whether they only ask about the information you provide on the passport form or whethe...

If you order your credit report (even the statutory £2 report which you can get instantly online) it should show all the address you have lived (officially) and will also give you the date of the entry which will give you at least a rough idea. A couple of years ago I was in a similar situation (no...

If you know someone for 2 years and 10 months and you use them as referee for 3 years then technically you would be lying. You are signing a legal declaraion and doing this can have horrible consequences. It can be counted as deception. I would never recommend anyone to do anything like that. You wo...

Hi All I have received my naturalisation certificate but I will not be applying for a british passport until the end of June as I am travelling in the early weeks of June. My wife is eligible as she has been in the country with me for 3.5 years now but does she need to wait for me to get a passport...

Yes you can leave it blank.
If the date is not relevent to your application then there is no need to write it. I was in the same situation and I simply left it blank, did not explain anywhere and it all went smoothly, they did not say a single thing in the interview or anywhere else about it.

The important point to understand here is that the NARIC only award ELA for C1 not lower or above to this level but for citizenship you only need B1. Yes I realized that after I got the refusal letter .... a little bit too late. The letter I got does not say anything about B1 so it cannot be used t...

Sending the SoC and the ELA with the degree certificate will suffice B1.

Hi Amber,

I did not get ELA, that is the problem, so what should I do now?
The ELA letter I got says that the degree does not meet C1 level.

You can send your degree, letter from Uni along with SoC and that should fulfil your language requirements. I was in same scenario and I wrote to homeoffice. you can find more details are at this post Thanks for the reply. I read the guidance in the beginning and I completely agree with what you ha...

Yes I have.

Asking this for a friend Applied for NARIC (ELA) English Language Assessment but got a refusal letter from NARIC saying that even though a medium of instruction certificate has been provided it could not be verified that the level of english was met ...... Has anyone had a similar experience from NA...

Dear Experts, Need your advice. I would be applying for my citizenship after few months. Just making sure i have all the required documents. I have passed Life in the UK test already and regarding knowledge of language. I have master's degree from London south bank university and i can also claim p...

See below in bold . Also I suggest you read FAQ. Dear Members Greetings! I got ILR on Oct 2012 through Tier1 PBS. my daughter was born in UK while I was in Tier1 and took my home country Passport and applied her ILR along with me on Oct 2012. My wilfe applied her ILR on Jun 2013 once she completed r...

This might not work for everyone but I simply did around 15-20 online practice tests, made a note of the ones I got wrong and then remembered those. Passed the test without any issues
No need for the book at all IMHO.

1. Referee is confirming that they know you, not your child. 2. If you have registered accountant in the company then they can sign it. Any professional neighbours you can ask? 3. Referee may be contacted to confirm and I think details can be checked so try to get someone who is registered. Thanks ...
