Not officially, no but pilot scheme members within the NCS have reported faster processing, including mine.

Come pick BRP then go back and not be away from the UK for more than 180 days.

this is similar to what i received

There is a part which states the date you first intended to stay permanently, I guess if you put a date 6 years back then you only need to provide that much history. Better to check with NCS but you said 14th and that's a Sunday?

I did not get any such letter when I got my ILR explicitly stating that I have been granted indef leave to remain. My friend who applied a year before me at PEO did get such a letter. The level of incompetency at process level within HO is astonishing. OP should redirect them to gov.uk which require...

which other govt agencies are you thinking of updating, cs95tdg?

Ok, how did it go?

Is it possible to delay this 30 day visa to a later date? If not, as I said above, would it be possible for her to come for a 1-2 weeks, collect the BRP card and go back? Also, when does the actual spouse visa (i.e. 30/33months one) get issued then? From my own experience: -Not sure if you can dela...

Thanks for that. It is true what they have said as some people take dual to mean 2 but it in effect means more than 1, which is 2,3,4 etc although it is unlikely some one will have that many.

In some other countries, such as the US, they actively encourage you to let the Social Security Admin know you are now a citizen, not here in the UK.

I guess electoral roll is a good point and you should get a reminder from the council every year to ensure details are up to date.

Hi fielddrive can i book an appointment with the same council but im living at manchester is that any problem? I assume you are talking about NCS and in that case, you can book NCS with any council in the country you like. The only problem is you will have to travel there. If you are asking about t...

Hi Guys Really Need Help. Just wanted to know what documents will i need to submit with my application for british citizenship. i have been in the country 11 years last 1 year on ilr. i have all the previous passports since i have been in this country. Plenty of advice on gov.uk around this. You wi...

I guess no harm in trying - could work if its a good quality scan. I don't know if there is an official line on this

Yes, it's the new design from November 2015. Apparently they change every 5 years. I misjudged the number of pages in the standard passport, as its appears to be half the size of my current standard size foreign passport. I presume time will tell if I'll need to get a replacement before the 10 year...
