never had emails from UKVI but the domain is certainly ok. The domain as it appears by itself cannot ever be trusted as the email protocol, old as it is, does not require authentication to specify the sender email address. Unfortunately, the technology is such that anyone (with a tiny bit extra kno...
Hi I have made a citizenship application from my family. Recently I have received an email from an individual with an email ID in the format firstname.lastname@homeoffice.gov.uk. He has asked me to share the scanned pages for my wife and son's old passports (these were not scanned by the commercial ...
I have submitted my citizenship application but yet to upload the documents and get my biometrics done. The two referees in my application are married to each other and I have only realised that they must not be related. I can't go an update the application as it's submitted already but can certainl...
Is there a rule that prohibits an applicant (currently on ILR) from travelling abroad while a decision on citizenship is pending. Note that we will have our passports with us as we have decided to use our council's services for verifying the documents and then send copies with the application.

I am filling the online citizenship form for myself, my wife and my minor son as part of a common online application. While filling up the details for my minor son, there is a question - "Are either of the parents of the child (as stated in this application) applying for naturalisation as a Bri...
Think about it from a British Entry Clearance Officer's point of view. Your mother has only just left the UK a few months ago. Why would she need to return so soon? It will not look like a visit, it will look like she is attempting to reside in the UK. She is free to apply, but the pattern of visit...
To the visa officer, it will look like she is trying to reside in the UK in the guise of a visit visa, something expressly forbidden in the Immigration Rules. 4.2 The applicant must satisfy the decision maker that they are a genuine visitor. This means that the applicant: ... (b) will not live in t...
She is already in India and would have been there for 8 months before she travels to the UK. As I said in my post, she left UK in August 2018 and plans to be here in mid April 2019.
My mum has a 2 year tourist visa that is valid until 20th April 2019. She hasn't been here since August 2018 (was here for 3 months). She now plans to come over around 10th April 2019 and stay until end of May 2019. Will it be possible to apply for a new visa while her existing visa is still valid t...
My wife, son and I are Indian citizens but UK residents and have an Indefinite Leaver to Remain since 2015. We had the birth of our son in UK recently and has not been registered with the Indian High Commission yet. I need to apply for British citizenship for all of us but needs this group's help: -...
Hi
I have an ILR and in the process of applying for citizenship. I have had a few PCNs - one each for parking and entering the bus lane and maybe a couple for late congestion charge. Do these need to be declared in the character section of the form?
Thanks

I guess I have got it sorted. There is another way. If you look at page 32 in https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/425879/KoLL_v17_0.pdf You can go to points based calculator and find your degree. If it shows 10 points, you just need to attach that printout with ...
Hi My wife is about to apply for ILR in a couple of days. She came to the UK on Tier1 (general) 5 years ago and claimed points for English by showing the degree. We don't have a NARIC certificate. In order to prove knowldege of language, does it suffice that it was proven in the last application its...
Hello I am filling in the form for ILR - SET(O). I am on Tier 1 (General) right now. While claiming points for age, do I need to consider my current age or the age at which I first entered the UK (or got my visa). I got Tier 2 visa in Feb 2010 and entered UK in March 2010. I was 29 then. Got Tier 1 ...
Hi I came to the UK on Tier 2 visa on 22nd March 2010 and shifted to Tier 1 in August 2010. During this duration, I didn't exit the UK at all. After getting Tier 2 visa, I have travelled to India, Europe but for very short durations (3 weeks or less) and the total absence per year wouldn't be more t...
