When I put my application in about 6 months ago, I only put my parents details in, not my grandparents as they were almost impossible to confirm. When I was at the desk (I went into Peterborough to get the quick service) I asked the lady and she said dont worry about as long as your parents details ...
I can just imagine the indignation though. "But I'm BRITISH!", they'll all shout and scream. "Can't you see the redness of my glorious passport? We have the right to do as we please and go where we want!"
And to think you could be one of those people soon!
Good Luck Dawie, interesting that he mentioned that they had been processing fewer applications lately, wonder why that is? Actually thinking about it maybe the change from 4-5 years on ILR has had some effect.
An unexpired passport is not a requirement when applying for BN, in fact you need a passport at all. I applied for BN 6 months after the passport I used to enter the UK had expired, my approval came through in 3 weeks. Read Section 4 of the Guide AN (Titled - What documents you will need to send) it...
My passport expires on 2008. If I get a WP for, let's say, 5 years, then will it actually be legal for only 2 years? Will I have to return to my country after 2 years? I'm just interested if I should renew my passport for another 10 years. It's a bit difficult to do that, so I'd rather not. You don...
I think the passport is needed for more than just proof of ID, they wont issue you a drivers licence unless you are staying in the UK for more than 6 months (or it could be a year) They need to check what your residence status is before they issue the Drivers Licence.
Finally got a letter from Home office today saying that my application has been accepted and they will send me the details for ceremony. Does anyone knows how you can arrange for a private ceremony in Birmingham or Sandwell area? I did a private ceremony in Birmingham about 3 months ago, and it cos...
So you mean that officially you would need to apply for a schengen visa to travel to ireland - although it is possible to enter the country without one but there's no guarantee that you will get away with it? Also, which I'm on the subject of schengen visas....is there such a thing as a getting a m...
For a succesful naturalisation application, you need to have a valid passport which shows your current immigration status in the country. RE: 1st entry & absent dates, I'm not fully sure but you may have to find alternate evidences ( like NHS-GP or workpermit docs ) to file along with old passp...
British passport Advantages: - Can apply for it and receive it in the post. - No passport tax. Disadvantages: - Need to get signatures from two referees. They must be passport holders, have known you for at least two years and work in one of several specific professions. - No legal right to one. Th...
There is a link in this post to a site that has quite a few quesitons in the style they are in the actual exam, I used this site to help prepare and found a lot of the questions asked were the same. Just to bring it back to the front (or should I say bottom!) here is the link: http://www.3g4g.co.uk/...
Also, don't forget on the form there is a page which has a 'checklist' that the form says your referee should read before signing the document, one of the points on it is: 'We will not accept a referee who has been convicted of an imprisonable offence during the last 10 years and the sentence has no...
I'm sure at a bare minimum they check to see that the individuals are british citizens, they can check this from the pasport numbers and/or naturalisation number.
BBdivo - Its a Biometric one. I thought all passports issued from now on are Biometric . Am I wrong ? If so , why did I get a biometric one :?: Currently Biometric ones are issued randomly, I think they will replace the machine readable ones from october onwards. You will see a page like the one be...
If you have used the application form from the web site (i.e. downloaded it and printed it) why dont you just print the referee page and get your third referee to fill it out, then just replace the page?
Sorry don't know how I double posted 30 minutes apart?! I see your concern, however as you mentioned there was no other writing with the stamp, don't think there will be an issue when you apply for naturalisation.
The most disgusting thing about the INS is that they are happy to wave whites travelling without visas through and subject non whites who are travelling with visas to incessant questioning. Do you have any proof of that, I seriously doubt they will let anyone in who requires a visa and does not hav...
from the limited reserach i have done, it seems UK citizens have a 'national insurance number' which i assume is the same as the U.S.A's 'social security number'? how would i go about getting one of those numbers??? Yes it is the same, but it does not hold the same significance as a social security...
Had a bit of a shock today, called up the council to find out about the ceremony, was told the earliest group ceremony would be 6 September, so I asked about a private ceremony, and I was told I would have to pay £260 :? If you ask me that is ridiculously, thats about the same as we pay for the appl...
Thanks guys! Just received the invitation letter today, I notice it actually comes from the IND (and not the local council as I was expecting) They are stating on there that I should now contact the council to set up the ceremony date. Interestingly it also says I should do so within 14 days, it doe...
