Just a quick question on the next step once approval is received; This is my understanding: a) Approval received, arrange for a public or private ceremony b) Attend ceremony, naturalisation certificate is issued (Certificate has already been issued by HO. Council will just date and hand to you alon...

Hello all, I am going to apply for naturalisation later this month. I received my ILR 11th January 2014. When applying for ILR, I took the Life in the UK test. I have a degree from the University of Nottingham and I will include my graduation certificate within the application. What else will I nee...

Won't this be disregarded as it's not a serious offence and as per guidelines an offence not serious in nature committed before 12 months is disregarded. Any senior member please help!!! A conviction is a conviction. Serious or not, if the fine was issued by court, you need to wait for 3 years unle...

Yes if court has convicted. For any non custodial sentence, you need to wait for at least 3 years from the date of conviction.

Just to let you all know that my passport was delivered thru the letter box whilst no one was there at home. Surprisingly it wasnt a signed for delivery. Very strange, considering the importance a passport is meant to hold it was just slipped in thru my letter box. It is common for DX to just push ...

Ah ok.
Good luck. That's why I like passport application, no matter how much you mess up, if you are entitled to one, they can't refuse your application

I just got a letter saying the photos what I sent were not good enough. So they ask new photos

Did you take them in booth? Usually booth ones aren't accepted.
We once applied for French visa and they refused the photos taken in booth.

No just the letter. It takes about half an hour and just go through the interview questions. There are plenty posted here.

can any one please let me know where to do marriage cerificate transalation from urdu to english.
many thanks.

Google it and you'll find plenty. They are usually local.

Hi Miangee, Thanks for a rapid response! I understand then that the marking it with name and date of birth at the back is only in case it detaches itself and lands somewhere random. That is correct. If it detaches so that they can find the application it has come from. There won't be a photo on the...

1. Shouldn't be an issue if that is the only offence.
2. If your ILR is stamped on passport then yes that should be enough. If you have BRP then you need to send that as well.

It was because of the lady at the NCS who insisted that I need to declare..I raised the same argument and didn't want to push as she said as per procedure I should declare it and it is upto the home office to decide..she also said it shouldn't be an issue in my case I have paid the penalty on time ...

declared their traffic PCN in civil penalty section Why would you declare a PCN under civil penalty? PCN is not a civil penalty and if you only had one, you didn't even have to declare it. It can be the cause of delay in your application if someone had actually thought that its a civil penalty and ...

Can anyone please advice me on how first adult passport is delivered I know Dx secured mail sends a letter for you to call to arrange a prefered delivery date but seeing on the thread that most people get their passport 2days after interview My passport interview was 2days ago and haven't seen any ...

by that you mean ...current passport and all expired passports? correct?

Yes unless your expired passport have been cancelled.
A cancelled passport will have it's corner cut off or cancelled stamped on.
I have recently found out that some authorities cancel the expired passports.

Quick question...i have read posts but it is confusing... -- I have one Current passport valid for another 2 years. --- AND I also have 2 expired passports. Do I need only need to send my CURRENT Passport .....with the british passport application? or SHOULD i also send the 2 expired ones? this is ...

I agree with jaweb. I wouldn't pay even a penny to post office to make me send wrong documents. I rather send the wrong documents myself. I have used check and send for my daughter and they wanted me to send my birth certificate. I had enough and then applied myself for my son, myself and wife and n...

I did reread it a few times already and its not getting any clearer. From my understanding, when one person renews a passport, their previous expired passports would have their corners cut off. That's is why all my expired passports are deemed cancelled already. And so I only have one current passp...

TODAY i send my application through check and send service. cost me 85 and some pence.They asked me to submit my biometric card as well because they need to check current status before process my application.Is it normal procedure. I don't want to say I told you so but thanks for proving my point. ...

If you are naturalised, I thought I read somewhere that HO also wants to see the passport I first entered UK with? But when reading the guide and form, it only says they want the uncancelled passport which is just my current passport that doesn't have my 1st UK entry stamp? A cancelled and an expir...
