About me: I was on HSMP+Tier 1, the date of issue on my biometrics permit card is 03/06/2013. Been absent in the UK for lesser than 90 days in the 12 months time frame.
Questions:
1. Giving the issue date of 03/06/2013, I presume I am allowed to book an NCS appointment for application submission on any dates on or after the 04/06/2013, provided that 5 years back on the same date I was in the UK?
2. Would an Actuary with the UK actuarial institute be qualified as a professional referee? I am surprised notfinding it on the list of profession....
3. Suppose I apply for citizenship in June, can I travel aboard straight after and only come back for the ceremony?
4. Suppose I receive a citizenship approval letter in July/August, can I apply for passport straight after, or do I need to wait for the ceremony?
5. About the passport, I would like to take a holiday in between June and the Ceremony of a few months, is there a minimum days of absent requirement for passport? I guess I would only need to apply and come in for the interview? If I dont apply straight away after getting citizenship, I can still apply for the passport later or at an oversea office correct? The reason is I am thinking of either changing my job to work oversea or take a long break, but I am not sure how that would work out if I want to apply for passport..... I presume if I apply for citizenship in Jun, get the approval in Jul, ceremony in Aug, apply for passport in Aug and will get it in Oct?!!
Thanks very much!
