That is NOT true. Nationality application is NOT an immigration application.freddiekeller wrote: ↑Mon Mar 30, 2020 1:29 pmUpdate: I have been told by my immigration lawyer that one is able to leave the country once the biometrics have been taken, but if one leaves before the application is still incomplete and thus this will compromise the application.
Is this accurate?
Correct. It does NOT affect your application. The date of application and the ONLY date that is relevant, is the date you submit and pay online.freddiekeller wrote: ↑Mon Mar 30, 2020 8:42 pmThanks for your reply, but what is not true? If I leave before biometrics are taken then this should NOT compromise my application in theory then?
Your lawyers is talking about the automatic withdrawal of immigration applications if you leave the UK as per procedures. BUT as I told you, a British citizenship application is a nationality application and NOT an immigration application. The automatic withdrawal does not apply herefreddiekeller wrote: ↑Mon Mar 30, 2020 8:42 pmMy previous message is a little confusing: my immigration lawyer said that if I leave after submitting but before biometrics are taken, then this may compromise my application because I left the country BEFORE my application was completed.

Absences are NOT relevant after the date you apply, citizenship absences requirement is based on the period before you applyfreddiekeller wrote: ↑Tue Mar 31, 2020 3:44 pmThank you, Zimba
I noticed that the online application form reads "You should complete your application and any further actions as usual [despite the lack of appointments owing to COVID-19]"
Given this, it would be would good better understand the implications of accumulating above/around 180 absences by the time my biometrics are taken. Will this not likely cause HO to question my future intentions?
Regarding biometrics, it would be fantastic to know whether there's a strict time window (e.g. 2 weeks) to get them taken after one receives the invitation. Moreover, can I get my biometrics done abroad?
Hi Zimba,
No, not yet as your complete application and supporting documents are only sent to ho by ukcvas once identity check and biometrics are done.Ragingtiger0309 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 6:25 pmHi Zimba, I applied on 1st of April, but unable to get an appointment for Biometrics yet. Do you think my application is under process, started searches or not yet? Kindly suggest. Thanks
