You can apply online once you have held ilr for the full 12 months. There is no "28 days early" concession for citizenship.

You must meet all the requirements, including being physically present in the UK on the same date 5 years ago as the date you submit and pay online.

Dear experts,

Hope you all are well. I am filling application for naturalisation and have some questions. I would really appreciate if you help me.

(1) In the application, it is asking for previous employment history. I have worked with two companies in the past, and they have been now dissolved. Should I still give the detail and importantly their address, as they are no longer existed.
(2) I worked in Govt sector when I was on PSW, but do not remember exactly when had I started and ended with them, as it does not show HMRC online account where I can take the detail. In such case what shall I do?
(3) I have worked various part time jobs for one month or less such as Uni examiner, part time tutor, it is still necessary to put these details?

Thanks
S

- Yes.

- try to put approximate date , if you can’t remember which month so do it approximately date .
(3) I have worked various part time jobs for one month or less such as Uni examiner, part time tutor, it is still necessary to put these details?
- Yes declare as much information as you can will not harm your application.


Thanks

Hi,

Can you please help me with the following questions:

1- Are there any reasons why you cannot meet the requirements to become a British citizen (for example, you have had too many absences from the UK)? My answer: No
2- If you do not meet the statutory requirements to become a British citizen, are there any special circumstances why you think the Home Secretary should still grant your application? My answer: No

3- Referee: I declared one civil engineer, who knows me in the capacity of close friend and same community member since 2011. And the second referee, who is my friend and neighbour, knows me since 2015. Are these referees detail ok for this application?

4- With regards to employment titles, I worked in few firm on part time basis for very short time. Is it ok if I put there, for example; title 'Part time security officer' where I worked when I was student visa.

Many thanks
Stay safe and happy!

Dear experts,

Please answer of this query and your help will be highly appreciated.

I want to apply for naturalisation and got ready everything. I have applied to move to another house due to severe anti-social and facial incidents we are having from the last few months. I have applied to another house and it is in process. I do not know when I would get another house. If I apply for naturalisation and then I move to another address (house), how would I deal with the UKVI. I mean how would I get the decision letter etc. from the UKVI to my new address. As you know naturalisation takes more than six months and now due to Covid-19 it might take more time. Please advice me the solution as we are in very bad situation here.

Thanks

I believe you can notify the UKVI if your new address and ask them to send correspondence there. You could also set up a redirection from the old address to the new one.
