Just put house wife and don't tick anything. Employment is not requirement for Naturalisation.

If they have returned the LIUK certificate then you need to send it again.
I would also send the english language proof just to be on safe side.

IT is a different form, different situation. You must send LIUK paper and language certificate.
I have made a couple of visas for my husband and some residency cards for myself and every time I needed to send every payslips or certificate all the time

Sean J you MUST submit both LIUK and language requirements confirmations. I applied via NCS on 2nd Dec and and those were the only documents required along with the passports, BRP cards and photos. If your language test is expired but had used it before while applying for settlement it is still acceptable.
There is a checklist at the end of the form, so please have a look. LIUK is a must there.

Hope it makes sense.

Check the last two pages of the form. Supporting documents. Section 2. I downloaded it just now to have a look. It is very clear there.
Honestly, I don't understand what the problem is. You already supplied LIUK and IELTs once when applied for ILR. Just submit the same ones now.
Best of luck.

The way I understand it, if you have to submit the documents again, they wouldn't have included a tick box saying I have already proved the requirement. If they had kept the document, just write a covering letter or use page 15 to explain it. I don't think you need to send a different certificate again.
If you still want to submit IELTS, it should be fine as long you have atleast 4 in listening and speaking and have used it with another application if it has already expired.

Hello everybody;


I'm applying this Friday and I still have some little doubts.


1) I just saw that my referee (the "important" one) put "Managing Director" instead of "Company Owner" or "Company director".
Is Managing director a suitable referee? I can't find a list of suitable referees besides "Lawyers, Civil Servants, etc"

2) 3.5 Address of Tax Office. I am both Self-employed and recently opened a company. I have no idea what and where to find which is my Tax Office? if that make any sense. Would it be OK to leave that blank? If not, anyone knows where I can find that?

3) 6.7 I've been reading around and found that some of you said to "erase it", sorry if it sounds too stupid but, how? its a PFD, shall I cross it with a pen?? Sorry to be thick.

Thanks a lot!!!

Hi.

You can write you know them as a friend. I wrote the same and they accepted it

I would not write 3 countries down just the date when you left UK and when got back and the original destination.
When I visited my husbands country we went through another country and did not bother to detail as it was transit only

Hi Pinina,
Your tax office address will be on the top right side of the letter from your tax office.

Hi guys, just about to do the AN form. regarding payment, do we have to pay the ceremony fee(£80) + AN naturalisation fee(£906) all at the same time? regarding Tax ref. no. from my latest p60, i could only see an 'employer PAYE ref no', is that no. needs to put in the form? regarding language requirement, I have a LiUK test and NARIC cert which assessed my MSc as 'British Bachelor (ordinary) degree standard', will these two enough?

In the £906 the ceremony is included so no need to pay extra £80.

As I have left that area blank and no one called me or asked more info about it and got my approval last month

Ypu do need to send your LIUK paper. Your degree should be fine but I let the gurus to confirm it ;-)

Good luck

Hey there;

I'm applying tomorrow and I just realised that I had an exception for 3 years on my NI, so I didn't pay (from my pocket) employers did pay, 1 or 2 years.
My economical situation changed so I recently cancelled that but they will bill me in April

Can that play against my application?

Sorry, the closer the date the more paranoid I get.


Thanks a lot for your help, you have been amazing.

Hello. I was wondering if there is a way of applying for naturalisation directly to the HO but sending them copies of my passport and ILR? I know NCS and solicitors can do this for me. Is there any other way? I would really like to avoid paying their fees.

No way, photocopied documents must be stamped by NCS to prove the authenticity

Notarised copies are accepted but that will cost you more than NCS.
Your cheapest option is NCS.
