Many thanks for your quick reply Jambo but I saw somewhere on the application form a requirement of letter or details of employer, am I right?
As part of the Good Character requirement, you are asked to provide the details of your employer if you work (so the HO can check if your taxes are in order). However, if is not a requirement. If you don't work, you just don't fill in that part (stay-at-home mum/dads are also allowed to apply for naturalisation
).
Also, what are the steps to follow after ILR, is naturalization first and then British passport and the ceremony?
Naturalisation. If granted, Citizenship ceremony. If you wish, passport.
And last, what are the advantages of applying through NCS?
The main advantage is that you keep your original documents with you as they will photocopy them and forward the copies to the HO. They will also go over the form to make sure you have completed it correctly and have the correct supporting documents.
