Travelling for 1 mth after NCS Naturalisation application

[theroyale]

I've just applied via the NCS today, and only realised after reading their receipt that there is a call for Biometrics that will happen in the next few weeks. But I'm due to be away for a period of 4 weeks.

My partner will be able to check/open my post and let me know - so that's not a problem.

However I'm wondering whether there is leeway on when you can get the Biometrics done? Is this a strict 15 day limit? Has anyone called up the helpline and asked for extra time because they are out of the country?

Thanks

If you miss 15 day window you will get a final letter with a 10 day window. After that its game over.

Good to know, thanks!

Just to confirm that I did miss the window with the first letter and "took the risk" of getting biometrics done only on the second letter. There was no significant delay or issues because of this. I got my citizenship approved within 8 weeks after the biometrics.
