sorry it should be £655 you're right john. I wish I could apply ASAP. If NCS is better I might consider it. I'll post here my experience and if my appilication is successful. Thanks for your time and kindness to help me. More power to you.John wrote:£645? I think that should be £655 .... application fee of £575 plus a compulsory £80 for the citizenship ceremony. And yes, the fee does keep going up, so if you intend to apply some time, best to apply as soon as possible. Indeed, why delay until June?
Documents to be submitted. I think that is clear from the form and the guide. I think you need to add marriage certificate, to prove you are indeed married to a British Citizen. But do check the form and guide.
NCS? Yes, highly recommended. Yes it costs a few extra pounds but it is well worth it. Although UKBA deny it, it seems that applications submitted via NCS do get dealt with quicker than applications submitted by post. And also, documents like passports you take along get photocopied and handed straight back to you.

Hope this helps people not remembering exact dates outside UK. Think this costs 10£ although don't know if this has been hiked now.
Hi John,John wrote:So I think a SAR is the way to go, because that should include details of all landing cards on you re-entering the UK since you first started to come to the UK.
The copy of my old passport has all the information regarding Visa/Stamp I first arrived in the UK and the stamps regarding all other dates, I left Uk and arrived back in the UK. She didn't accept the application only because it is a photocopy and not the original. Interstingly, when I applied for ILR last year in IND, the officer didn't create any problem regarding the photocopy of the lost passport and accepted it.John wrote:The rejected copy passport, was it every page in the passport, or just those with stamps? If the latter, you can see the problem, merely selected pages do not prove that you were in the UK exactly 5 years before UKBA will receive the Naturalisation application.
And I think, neither would Work Permit documents. After all, for all we know, you had a week's holiday and were gathering up the sun in the south of France exactly 5 years ago.
I tried to search regarding SAR, but I could get much information. I would be greateful if you can please provide some detailed information regarding this.John wrote: So I think a SAR is the way to go, because that should include details of all landing cards on you re-entering the UK since you first started to come to the UK.
That was correct. NCS isn't supposed to take a copy of a copy.sams wrote:vinay shanthi wrote: to satisfy time outside UK requirements and also filling in ILR form with exact dates of absences outside UK, if you have lost old passport or don't remember the exact dates etc then you have option of getting subject data access request to BIA see link for procedures http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/siteco ... iew=Binary this data can then be used as proof of time outside UK.

NCS rejected to send my naturalisation application,
I took
My new passport (issued in Aug 2006, ILR stamped in April 2007) and
Photocopy of my old lost passport (first entry clearance visa stamped in April 2002)
Even I tried to explain the lady (NCS) that I took the same photocopy of the old lost passport when I applied for ILR and the original ILR stamp on my passport means that I satisfy resident requirements of 5 years,, but no luck and she told me that I have to bring either employers letter or wage slips or P60s from May 2003 – Aug 2006. The problem is that I can’t get any of these from May 2003 – Dec 2003.
I would greatly appreciate if you can please suggest:
a) Can I use Work Permits as supporting document?
b) Get Subject Data Access Request (although the NCS lady didn’t even suggest) from UKBA and use this as supporting document?
Thanks
