Leaving the UK after submitting British AN form

[MarieHMarie]

Hello everyone,

I have just submitted my application AN for citizenship but I have been offer a job back home in France. I will have to leave the country and I was wondering if it is possible to update my address with Home Office with a FRENCH address?

I am aware that I will have to come back to the UK for the ceremony and biometric data but I am fine with this. However I do not want my application to be cancelled because of the late relocation! What do you think on this?

I will definitely be of great help for me and hopefully to a couple more people in the future!

I would really think about that idea.
You will have recently answered question 2.3 on the form (AN) when you submitted your application.

Bon chance.

Thanks for your advise, but

a) Would my application been rejected if told them that I was not planning on living in the UK in box 2.3?
b) When i filled the application it was correct at the time; now things have changed for me...

I am still wondering what is the exact interpretation and rule here?

To be fair you should cancel your application as you do not intend to live in UK anymore. There are some topics opened regarding this matter.
Basically if your application is approved and you do the ceremony it should not be a problem BUT why do you need British citizenship if you do not intend to live here?

For a) yes, quite possibly.

b) If it was correct at the time you applied that is reasonable.

If at all possible suggest you handle all dealings with HO from UK until it is all sorted out.
