Citizenship fee waiver for adults

Hi,

Is there fee waiver or a discounted rate for adults who can't afford the fee for UK Citizenship application? I am currently on universal credit.

Thanks

Re: I forgot to update my address with the police now what?

Should be okay after informing the police of your new details. The police officer I talked to was very aggressive and kept threatening me that she would contact the home office even though I tried to explain that I had been completely take up by the university work and my previous abusive landlord....

I forgot to update my address with the police now what?

Hi,

I changed address back in May but I forgot to update my address with the police. I was honest and told them the truth but they took my details and said I may be charged £5000 or lose my visa.
This was the first time I forgot to update me details. Will the home office take action against me? :(

Is your wife studying at a HEI at level 7 or higher, as that could be an option? Thank you Lucapooka, So can I go to any country ( other t...
