MN1 form queries -please reply!

[xyz111]

Hi,

Could please someone help me with evidence for MN1 form

1. I am comfortable with filling out MN1 form, I am still recommended to use NCS services? They are charging around £170 for me and partner!

2. My passport which was used as identity document as well as for ILR and other application has been expired January 2014. I do have valid overseas Pakistani ID card, will I have to send both documents as part of my ID or just send one of them?!

3. My MSc degree was taught in English from UK and I used it for my Tier 1 and ILR application, Do I need to send this degree as part of English language evidence.

4. My wife passed IELTS do I need to send pass certificate as part of her application for English language evidence.

5. Do I need to send marriage certificate as evidence as evidence for our partnership?

6. Does form has to be printed single sided or double?

7. Which postal service should I use?

Many thanks.

If you have no plan to visit abroad then you don't to use NCS Service. But you have to send all original documents to home office while NCS Service return your original document after certifying

2. My passport which was used as identity document as well as for ILR and other application has been expired January 2014. I do have valid overseas Pakistani ID card, will I have to send both documents as part of my ID or just send one of them?!

You don't need to be worry about your expired passport, just sent the expired one, No overs ease card need to be sent. But which ever the identifying document you used in your Life in UK test, you have to send that.

3. My MSc degree was taught in English from UK and I used it for my Tier 1 and ILR application, Do I need to send this degree as part of English language evidence.

Yes, You have to send the degree again.

4. My wife passed IELTS do I need to send pass certificate as part of her application for English language evidence.

Yes, you have to sent original IELTS certificate

5. Do I need to send marriage certificate as evidence as evidence for our partnership?

Not required

6. Does form has to be printed single sided or double?

You have to prove that you are environment friendly so better get print on both side

7. Which postal service should I use?

It doesn't matter ... You can also use the private courier service if you want but Royal Mail will do your job happily.
Many thanks.[/quote]

A couple of points here.
1. As far as I know MN1 is the wrong form for you, you probably need AN1.
2. Based on your reply I don't think your wife can apply for citizenship yet, I suggest you make sure she fulfils eligibility criteria for residence before you spend the money.

For your questions, see below in blue.

Sounds a bit expensive, try some other council, normall its around 50-55 per person. You dont have to use NCS if you dont want to but there is the obvious advantage that you can keep your originals with you. Personally I would recommend using NCS.

2. My passport which was used as identity document as well as for ILR and other application has been expired January 2014. I do have valid overseas Pakistani ID card, will I have to send both documents as part of my ID or just send one of them?!
I don't know if you can use NICOP but regardless you will have to send your passport with your application anyway to prove lawfull residence for last 5 years. I strongly suggest you renew your passport and then send it.
If you are sending a valid passport then you dont have to send NICOP.

3. My MSc degree was taught in English from UK and I used it for my Tier 1 and ILR application, Do I need to send this degree as part of English language evidence.
Yes

4. My wife passed IELTS do I need to send pass certificate as part of her application for English language evidence.
She has to provide some evidence. IELTS will be acceptable.

5. Do I need to send marriage certificate as evidence as evidence for our partnership?
Don't Know

6. Does form has to be printed single sided or double?
ok now you are worrying needlessly It does not matter.

7. Which postal service should I use?
Either use NCS or Royal Mail or some other courier if you want. It's up to you.

Many thanks.

Your wife only qualifies on 3 years residence as spouse of BC once you are British. She should apply once you have attended your ceremony and received your certificate.

There is no discount for applying as a couple, each person has their own form and the full fee is payable for each applicant.

And the form is AN not MN1, which is for children under 18.

Thanks.

Oh! I see that my wife can not apply for BC straight away!
My referees are signing the forms now for my wife as well so I should stop them. Should I?

Thanks.

if you wife has completed 5 years in this country then she can apply with you now, but if she has not yet completed 5 year yet then she can apply right after the day you got your naturalization certificate provided she has complete 3 years or more at the time.
