1) Most likely.sbr wrote:Hi All
I am due to attend oath ceremony end of January and need to travel to india shortly after. I checked with Indian high commission and they said there is a grace period of 90 days from issue of naturalisation certificate. I also know that I will have to return my BRP ILR card once I get the nat. cert. So my question is when returning back to UK;
1. Will the airline/ indian immigration give me a hard time explaining what visa I am traveling on?
2. Will my nat. cert. be acceptable proof at UK border to enter the UK?
Thanks
Yeah sorry ignore my post, didn't read yours properly!sbr wrote:correct the ILR has to be returned within 5 days of getting nat cert.. .. hence my question as to whether nat. cert. is acceptable proof?

thanks for your info. This page says that you need to return the BRP within 5 days of naturalisation certificate issue - (https://www.gov.uk/becoming-a-british-c ... p-ceremony ).. The page says it was updated 8th Jan 2016 at the bottom.
It states clearly that you may be fined up to £1000 if you dont return the BRP. Am not sure if t

Does the abpve rule apply only to BRP cards? what about the ILR sticker some of us have. Does that need to returned ?

So my assessment is -
1. Naturalisation cert is not a travel doc
2. My passport does not have a ILR stamp as ILR is only my BRP card. I'll have to return the BRP card after obtaining nat. cert.
based on 1 and 2 - I can go to india, but, do not have anything that says I can travel back to UK. feeling gutted !!!
Yes these were not there. Bear in mind, the link I pasted for gov uk applies regardless i.e., it does not say "if this option was selected in your application, then this applies".vishpb35 wrote: The latest AN form (01/16 version) has option where you tick that you will submit biometric after 5 days of attending ceremony. I am sure when you submitted AN Form , those options were not there. so wondering if it applies to anyone who filled AN form before Jan 2016?
