I am going to apply for Naturalisation/citizenship in the next few days. I have ILR for more than 12 months now (was on Tier 1 for 5 years before the ILR)
I passed the Ielts test in 2009 and used it with my first tier 1 applciation.
It is expired now (as ielts is only for 2 years). CAN I use it with my Naturalisation/citizenship appcliation for ENGLISH LANGUAGE Proof OR do i need to do the ielts again...There are different answers on the website
My Ielts test expired in 2011. is there any official statement on homeoffice website where it says EXPIRED IELTS test are accpeted for Naturalisation/citizenship
On this forum, i am reading , some poeple are saying expired ielts tests are ok, some are saying not.
Please advise
Just go ahead and submit your application, you'll be fine!na2316 wrote:Thanks.

OR

is there any official page where it syas that expired IELTS test is acceptable?
Hi Gnan,Gnanasekar wrote:Hello,
I have applied for Naturalisation under 5Yr + 1Yr ILR Category in late Sep 2014. I udnerstand the wait is for 3-4 months now. Few questions I would appreciate if some experts can assist or direct to where it is more clearly stated.
My situation - Current passport expires in March 2015 (can extend) & I have a travel plan in Feb 2015
Questions:
1) How soon or late can I book Oath ceremony after I receive Naturalisation approval letter?
2) How long can I continue to use Current valid passport after receiving the Naturalisation certificate (after Oath ceremony).
Thanks in advance for your response.
Thanks Alisha. That answers part of my question.Alishah wrote:Hi Gnan,Gnanasekar wrote:Hello,

Once you will receive the approval letter, you will need to book your oath ceremony within 14 days and the ceremony must take place within three month of the approval letter issue date.
I hope this answer your questions.
Best of luck

Are you going to be interviewed for a company established in the UK (ie the one that has a representative office and pays taxes here)? If yes, then you needn't worry. If you check AN form carefully, you will notice that the exception to this rule is made in this case.neverbackdown wrote:hi Respected Gurus,
I attended my citiznship ceremony tomorro and abt to apply for British Passport now. however i do have a question once Passport has ben issued.
i might be travelling to another country soon for my new job.
i was under impression that i will not have any restrictions on travelling to/from UK or staying in UK once i am naturalised however someone said to me that if i leave the country soon after being naturalised i might get questioned upon my return to UK as i owuld have left the country soon after i got British Passport which might give an impression that i was only staying in this country for citizenship.
can you please clarify could there be an issue if i leave UK for a longer period soon after being naturalised?
once again thanks for all the support and guidance. this forum has been a huge support during my 12 years journey to citizenship
Thanks & Regards

You can also always say that your job overseas was temporary and your intention was always to make UK your permanent home.
I have never heard of a single case when anyone was stripped of their UK citizenship for these reasons.
You probably need to ask for your documents back in order to apply for a new passport.LucyB wrote:Any advise?
The home office has all my paperwork since 1/9/14, my current passport is about to expire (which is with the HO) and I will be travelling in January. What should I do?
