Update - I re-submitted kids' applications using another referee who happens to be a Company Director as well and the applications got approved the same day.
Hi, I made the first passport applications for myself, wife and the kids. The identity was confirmed by a friend who happens to be a Company Director. Today I received approval for wife's application while for the kids it says 'person not eligible' and asks for using someone else. No explanation was...
is there a way to also apply for Passport at the same time, instead of applying afterwards? No there is not. A friend who applied a few years ago they did that but now I can't find anything on that process. The service that was in place to make a combined application years ago through NCS was withd...
When one applies for citizenship, is there a way to also apply for Passport at the same time, instead of applying afterwards? A friend who applied a few years ago they did that but now I can't find anything on that process.
Date of the ceremony. The date is written in by hand, not printed. You are only British from the date of ceremony so it would never be the date of approval on the certificate for adults.
I'd like to know what date is printed on the Naturalisation certificate- is it is the date Home Office granted approval or the date of citizenship ceremony?
I received Home Office Approval and citizenship ceremony invitation email on 8th August 2022 for myself and all family members. It's a straightforward case of 5 years + 1 ye ILR. However since then I've been calling my council (Croydon) but apparently no papers have been received by them from HO for...

Ok, here is an update in case other forum members find themselves in a similar situation. Main applicant ILR received in November. 27/11/19: T2 dependent extension application for myself and kids.

Hi ukvisat2, I'm in a similar situation. Did you manage to get a refund of the Tier 2 extension fee and the IHS for yourself? Thanks I only received Tier 2 extension fee. It came to my bank account automatically on the 10th working day from the approval date. I don't think they will refund IHS as i...
😂 my response would have been that it would be impossible for me to have entered on 11 Jan 2020 as a time machine has not been invented as per my knowledge. Good luck. It’ll work out. :) The caseworker apologised for the oversight and finally granted my ILR using a super-priority service. However, ...
No. You need 5 years under PBS dependant route for ILR which will be in Jan. However you can apply for ILR within 28 days of becoming eligible which is around 5th Dec 2019. I suggest to apply for ILR on 30th November and book your appointment after 5th December. This saves you money and fees of IHS...

Hi, I am finding myself in a peculiar situation. Looking for guidance from the experienced members. I first came to The UK in July 2013 on ICT Visa valid upto Jan 2015, alongwith my wife who came as my dependant. In November 2014, my wife found a job in the UK, returned to our home country and appli...
Hi Manci, My wife received her Tier 2 General visa from Delhi embassy on 01-Dec-14 and was supposed to travel back to UK on 24-Dec. In the meanwhile I applied for an in-country Tier-2 dependent visa and had a premium appointment on 22-Dec. But to my disappointment, my application was refused under p...
[quote="avipul Hi Manci, One more question- my wife's sponsor has provided the CoS number but they are saying that there is no such 'CoS letter' that they can provide us. Are you aware if just filling up the CoS nuber on the visa form is sufficient? Is it also required to attach a 'physical pr...
Hi Manci, Do you see a problem? keep in mind that your wife's sponsor will probably need to do a RLMT which takes a month and then apply for a restricted CoS on the monthly cycle. Once she has the CoS she has to travel to home country and apply for her visa from there (check processing time on webs...

[quote="avipul] A follow-up question- My wife's sponsor isn't willing to provide a maintenance undertaking letter for her dependants (i.e. myself and kids). They want to certify it only for her. So, in dependants' applications, can I mention my savings (which is not a joint a/c), though I am n...
