citizenship application questions

[t4ure4n]

I came to the UK in Sep 2004 on student visa and had multiple extensions until I got married in 2011 and changed to spouse visa in Feb 2013. I got my ILR in Feb 2018.

I am applying for citizenship as a spouse of a British citizen. I have few questions if someone can help me.

• I have two daughters who are British. I have answered Yes to the question "Do you have any dependants not applying with you at this time?" Do I have to provide any further details about them anywhere or send their birth certificates etc.

• Since I am applying as spouse of British citizen, do I only need provide them details for previous visa applications related to spouse visa(2) + ILR (1)? OR
  Do I also need to provide details of all my student visa applications as well, made prior to getting spouse visa. I am asking this because:
  • I don't have details of all of those student visa applications because apart from first few, later ones were issued as BRP which were returned to Home Office so I don't have any record of them.
  • HO should already have record of them
  • They were made long before spouse visa/ILR (i.e >10 years old)
  • They may start asking for further details which I may not have.

• How do I prove that I was in the UK exactly at the start of 3 year period before application date? - Do I scan my entire passport (latest one) showing no exit from UK prior to 3 year period? Or there is an easier way to prove it?

Many thanks

• I was in a similar situation. There is a section at the end where you can add additional information- I left a note that both my children are British

• You are expected to input ALL UK visa immigration applications. Date are if known question. Clarify in the cover letter if you do not remember

Passport(s) stamps covering the 3 year qualifying period. I would scan the last UK entry stamp even if it was more than 3 years ago to prove you never left UK after that

Many thanks
