I think you can redeclare the application to any date within two months of the date of original application, provided that on that date you meet the physical presence and other absence requirements.freddiekeller wrote: ↑Sat May 23, 2020 3:20 pmRegarding question (1), if anyone knows when the date of a potential re-declaration would be (the date on which I was e-mailed/the date on which I reply), I would appreciate your sharing this information.
It may be problematic as in requiring further checks and therefore slowing down the process, but I don't think it will lead to a refusal.freddiekeller wrote: ↑Sat May 23, 2020 3:20 pmRegarding question (3), if anyone knows whether the multiple passports issue might also be problematic for my naturalisation application, regardless of the explanation in my cover letter, please let me know.
As you know HMPO require that all travel documents that have been issued to you (current or expired) show the same name and agree with your naturalisation certificate - they want to ensure you are not using multiple identities. From my reading of this forum I am aware there are some countries' consulates which will not change names in passports under any circumstances - in that case HMPO may accept a written statement from the consulate that changes are not allowed. Not sure whether this applies to you but maybe worth exploring. You will have to talk to HMPO on this pointDoes anyone know whether it will be possible not to change my birth country passport name, which I do not use for any purpose, so that it agrees with my European passport name, and still apply for a British passport after having naturalised and be successful?
Just guessing on this one, as it's not a very common scenario. Presumably one would use the next available date, i.e. 8 April 2015 in your case. Travel days don't count.Is anyone certain of when the date of redeclaration normally is? Is it any date that I choose within 2 months of the application date?
Does the online application form now ask for evidence of CSI?[/b] I believe the answer is YES from other threads I have been reading. Yes it does I submitted my application yesterday and you will be required to upload proof if needed.freddiekeller wrote: ↑Thu Jun 18, 2020 8:55 pmHi all,
I am deciding whether to cancel and resubmit my application because I was not at the beginning of the qualifying period (BOQP) when I submitted (I came back to the UK on 08.04.2015 after a two-week holiday but submitted my form on 03.04.2020).
However, they changed the interpretation of guidelines regarding the CSI requirement since. Given I was a student without CSI until 2017, I will have to request discretion on two grounds for this application (being absent at BOQP & lack of CSI 2015-17).
On the one hand, it is tempting to submit this application because I have not been asked for CSI. On the other hand, I would not be asking for discretion on BOQP presence if I withdraw this application & reapply now but just on CSI.
What is your advice? I do not want to wait until 2022 when I will have had 5 years of CSI.

No, we won’t have seen anyone having CSI in their requirements since last month bring successful or unsuccessful because those applications aren’t proceed yet as they didn’t even have had biometrics yet.freddiekeller wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 1:28 pmHas anyone seen anyone mention their having applied AFTER 15/05/2020 (the day when I believed the change in interpretation about CSI was released) and been successful, despite not having CSI and needing it?
Would you say that needing to request a redeclaration AND having the CSI issue is a red flag for being rejected by the HO?
