Hi, I have become quite exasperated trying to fill in the form AN for naturalisation and trying to navigate through all the various guides! I would be very grateful for any help on a few points.
By way of introduction, I have been in the UK for over 20 years having come over from Spain when I was 2 years old. I have therefore grown up here as well as doing an undergraduate and masters degree here. It appears that I would still need to take the Life in the UK test and prove my knowledge of the English language...fair enough. Apart from completing this test, I'm pretty sure I fulfil all the eligibility requirements.
Do I need to get a permanent resident card before applying for naturalisation? Would that then mean that I would have to wait until I had one year of PR status? Surely I already have this status, even without the card? How do I prove this?
To satisfy knowledge of language I can submit my graduation certificate - how do I find out if its been approved by NARIC without having to pay any more money? Can I assume that it is fine if its from a good university?
What is the deal with the biometric information - do you have to submit it as part of the PR application or the form AN? How do you get the home office barcode?
The main issue is with the permanent resident issue as I'm not sure whether or not its essential and don't really want to spend more money and fill in more paperwork if not.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
