The passport would have visa vignettes affixed on it covering the required residence period. Hence is used as a means to verify that you had valid leave to remain in the country (I.e. were thereby lawfully resident). It's also used to verify your absences are within the allowed threshold - looking at the entry & exit stamps.arsenal49 wrote:For example, the AN form, page 30 ...

the ILR card is sufficient to meet this requirement. The underlined point above refers to the same, even though it's still worded to be in line with the ILR stamp that used to be placed in passports, prior to when BRP cards were introduced.is my ILR card not enough? what if i dont have HO letter anymore?SECTION 5 Evidence of freedom from immigration time restrictions:required for all applicants

Yes true. There is also a new pilot scheme (only offered by a limited number of councils) where you are able to apply for both Naturalisation and Passport at the same time. Worth checking to see if it would be of interest to you and available at your local council.arsenal49 wrote:Thanks guys.
Is it true that if i use NCS before submitting my application for naturalisation, i get to keep my original passport and can use it to travel outside the UK for a week or so, with no consequences to my application for naturalisation?
It will be a huge plus if thats the case and to be honest sounds too good to be true!
can someone please confirm
You can use any NCS at any council to submit your application. It does not have to be where you live.arsenal49 wrote:thanks everyone.
i was wondering if i HAVE to use my local council for NCS or it can be any council authority offering NCS . So for example, lets say i live in Harrogate but i dont want to pay their stupid fees and instead want to get it done via Manchester council where its cheaper. Will it cause any issue?
anyone done that?
is MAnchester on their pilot scheme?
Best to call them to find out, or else check the council website. You can use any NCS that is convenient for you.arsenal49 wrote:is MAnchester on their pilot scheme?
