Update:
my wife had the ceremony today and she got all 3 naturalization certificates for the kids
Naturalization certificate date for wife - 12/03/2020
Naturalization certificate date for Kids 1 & 2 - 27/02/2020
This is strange because we never got any official communication from home office for the kids naturalization at all from the day we applied. we been given the certificate at the ceremony.
some points to be noted:
- you can apply for naturalization with expired BRP, both my kids BRP were expired at the time of applying.
- even though you apply together the approval dates can be different, my wife approved date was 02/03/20 but my kids were on 27/02/2020
- my personal opinion, don't use the upload facility from the Sopra steria, after I applied for my 2 kids, one had 12 files uploaded and the other had only 9 and the worst part is you cannot see which files are missing once you submitted, probably case officer would have used the common sense since I applied for both together.
- for proof of living my wife got the employment history from HMRC which is only one page which covered last 7 years (I know you don't even need to send this just passport should be fine), but we attached this to keep the documentation simple.
no need to attached P60, payslips, letters from employers etc..
Thanks for all the forum members for helping me out on various occasion, all the best.
