Naturalisation Application help needed

[gabidzas]

Hi all;

At last I am nearing my eligibility to apply for naturalisation, path T2G 5y + 12 month on ILR.

I have a question on referee requirements, who would qualify as a "professional persons - bank or building society official"? Would VP level employee at an investment bank who is not an accountant qualify as a referee?

[alterhase58]

That should be fine, qualifies as "bank official".

[gabidzas]

That should be fine, qualifies as "bank official".

Thanks alterhase58
One more question please: Is it mandatory that one of the referees be a professional person?
In other words is it ok to have two referees, both over 25, and both UK citizens, but none of those a professional person?

[alterhase58]

One of the referees must be a professional - "bank official" counts as a professional.
Please refer to the instruction on the form: https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... on_MN1.pdf
Refer to the list of accepted professions - p25: https://www.google.com/search?q=referee ... e&ie=UTF-8

Hi forum memebrs,

can you advise when am i eligible to apply for naturalisation?

[gabidzas]

should I provide one year travel history for naturalization application or five years of travel history?

[alterhase58]

It's always five years of travel history!

[gabidzas]

should I provide one year travel history for naturalization application or five years of travel history?

It's always five years of travel history!

Thank you,
And for a confirmation of residence, do i need to provide utility bills, council tax letters and bank statements for last 5 years as well?
also should I provide latest p60 form and salary payslips?

[alterhase58]

No - your passport(s) with stamps in/out covering the residency period are sufficient as you are on UK ILR.

[gabidzas]

I started my application, can you advise on the following question: "Have you made any previous UK immigration applications in the UK or abroad?"
should I list here my Student Visa Application and T2G application? i don't exactly remember the dates...

Dear members, can you advise on one urgent matter please
can i travel after I had applied for naturalization? and what would happen if my application is approved while I am travelling? would I be allowed in the UK with my ILR?

You are free to travel.

You are only British once you attend your ceremony and not from when you get the approval letter.

Dear all;

I have just noticed that I forgot to upload "the third party verification checks consent form" via UKVI
my application is submitted, will this be a cause to reject my naturalisation application?
Or would a case worker notify me about the missing document (if needed)?
please advise.

I have just received an email from the UKVI, I sought it was decision email, but it is "UK Visas and Immigration Survey", should I expect to receive decision soon?
I saw in some posts people mentioned that the survey was followed by decision letter or email shortly.
please advise
