When to apply?

[salak89]

I got my ILR approved on 20/11/18 and planning to apply for citizenship on 20/11/19 as my 12 months finishes on 19/11/19 if I calculate from 20/11/18.

Is it okay to apply on 20/11/19 or should I wait until 21/11/19? The reason I ask is I am planning this around my upcoming travel and want to apply on 20/11 at 1am to see if they have premium appointments on the same day.

Has anyone done this before? Also are there premium appointments on the same day of application these days (as the website says its busy)?

Please share your experiences thank you!!!

There is no premium service for naturalisation.
It's not an immigration application. Processing time can take from one months to six months (UKVI target).
Your date of application is ok.

Hi alterhase,

Thank you so much for your quick response - I actually meant premium appointment for giving biometric. And regarding date of application thank you so much for confirming. I will submit the application on 20/11/2019

Thanks
