Attendance Letter from school for foreign born kid

[qhussain]

Hi All,

I went for NCS appointment(JCAP) to Brighton for mine and my daughter(Born in India, age 7) British Citizenship application(Tier1 5 year + ILR 1 year), The NCS lady was very kind and helpful but surprisingly, she asked me for letter from school to show that my daughter is registered and going to school.
She told me, it is required for registering(MN1) foreign born child.

I was not having that letter at that time but the lady suggested, I can give it her latter and she will post my application, once she receive it.

Luckily, I got that letter from school and send it to her.

This was surprise to me, as I regularly follow post in this forum but I don’t remember any body experienced this.

Anyway sharing my experience, if someone applying for BC with child, if the child was born in foreign country and goes to school, please have a letter from school.

I submitted the same for my daughter when I did MN1 in 2013, to prove residency mainly.

Thanks for sharing this useful information!
I have booked NCS (JCAP) appointment at Bracknell Forest Council and they have also asked for exactly the same kind of letter from my daughter's school. Good to know that other councils are also asking for the same information.

I submitted similar plus school reports, school trip and award letters (and similar) for a child's MN1; all to demonstrate residency and also integration with and commitment to life in UK.
