You are free to apply anywhere.

Many Thanks for you replies IndiMarshall and ban.s Just one more clarification. If I apply today(18/08/2014) and home office received the application on 19/08/2014. I should have been in UK on 19/08/2011. Is that correct? What happens if I am outside UK on holiday? Logically the date you post them ...

recently heard similar case as you .. http://www.immigrationboards.com/british-citizenship/interview-in-naturalisation-case-t170195.html but the poster didnt tell the reason why he was called for interview ...meaning he wans't told (may be ) what the interview is about.. your Wife's case is well inf...

As you are applying on the basis of your wife's British citizenship & going by that link.. ILR period doesnt apply to u..like how it does for main applicants.... only criteria they are saying is u should have stayed in country for 3 yrs.. in your case which you are anyway.. Also that 3 yrs is no...

It happened with another person here in this discussion forum ht...

let us all take a chill pil :wink: Mr Brilliant ..what is your next plan of action ? I'm going to start calling up some of my old friends from 3-4 years ago, see if any of them have any professional qualifications or a British passport. They're going to think I'm insane, lol. Have you managed to ju...

One referee has to have a British passport. IndiMarshall's point is that this person could have just gotten the British passport last week. It could very well be someone who has refused to integrate with society, and like many immigrants, only chooses to make friends with people from his own countr...

If you're running a successful business, it's hard to imagine you haven't established a few contacts that could maybe qualify as referees. I have contacts, but not many that I've known for 3 years. To be honest, I think I can find 2 people if I do some digging, but it'll be a close call and therefo...

Hi, I am in UK and my wife and son is in india we applied for british passport for my son in may but i have decided to change my job and now new employer is not accepting the soft copy and requires my original british passport which is with the HMPO since may as a supporting documents for my son's ...

Are you practicing any religion? How well do you know and get along with your doctor? Do you regularly have to have documents notarized? Does somebody do your accounting? There may be more possibilities around than you realize. I don't practice religion. I don't see a doctor regularly as I'm a heal...

Due to the fact that I have moved several times in my 5-6 years living in the UK, I'm having trouble finding professional British citizens who have known me for 3 years! How strict are the requirements for the referee? Strict. For example: 1. Can you apply with only 1 referee? 2. Does a software en...

I heard a similar case as you.. dont worry.. give it some time.. everything will be alright.

This is a pretty harsh requirement, so somebody that doesn't satisfy the referee simply can't become a citizen? My landlord was a stockbroker, so I think he would qualify as "broker" is in the list. What exactly do I need to ask him in order to find out? yeah mate..its harsh.. not all wil...

There is one already.. unless this is different to the other one

Gave them a call very reluctantly as I will be hearing the age old answers ' the standard application time is 6 months' .. surpringly the agent said .. Your will hear about your application soon :lol: so I asked him what do u mean by soon ? he said 3 months :roll: :roll: Ps: Applied on 14th May..

In India this period is lot better than applying for british passport.. as I heard it takes 4 months and chances of more rejections..

Amber - as both parents are British, the child can't claim Indian citizenship Raj - also see --> https://www.gov.uk/overseas-passports/y/india hi ban.s in case if mother has Indian citizenship.. can she follow the process that Amber said and come to UK and apply for British citizenship ? Yes, a chi...

aah you are correct. he is not eligible for citizenship now..

HI gang, Just an quick update. I called to check on my application, which was sent exactly 3 months ago. I had previously called and they had said that it was "under consideration", using the generic phrase. However, this time, I was able to get someone who was a bit more precise - he was...
