Great in depth coverage of all the questions, i was confused about the previous immigration applications question given that i already mentioned that i got ILR. Thanks for putting in the effort for making such a good presentation, really appreciate it.
Hello, thank you so much for the detailed information you provided about the application. I found it immensely helpful! Are you still of the idea of uploading other videos? If so, I was just wondering when we could expect them? All the best
Hio Nick I have had a chat with you and found your advice most helpful. Have uploaded my AN application and off to do biometrics next week. After 42 years in UK with ILR, it wasn't easy to find all the required docs; I'll let you know the outcome. ps if someone is reading this and wondering should I go ahead & ask Nick? the answer is yes. His response time is quick and our online chat informative. Cheers Ph
Hello, I want to make the application for my children, I have to fill it in as if they were filling in the application themselves ??that is, where it asks for a name, should I put theirs ??
Thank you for the video. I find it strange that after paying nearly £1700, we also need to pay nearly £200 to book an appointment with UK Visa and Citizenship Application Services to then go ahed to SELF-upload the documents required..
Hi, Nick, this is so helpful, thank you. Can I ask a quick question: the actual citizenship application website (Documents checklist) says bank statements and household bills aren't suitable proof of residency; the Annex A policy paper (on gov.uk) says bank statements and household bills are proof of residency. Not confusing at all. Do you know which is right, please? Thanks again very much.
Hi, first of all, congratulations for the detailed video, it's very informative. May i kindly ask , when are you going to upload the second video regarding the documents required to be uploaded? Thank you in advance.
Hi there, thanks for providing feedback on the video. We're doing our best to get the accompanying video out by the end of May 2022. Sorry for the delay!
Thanks a lot! This videos helped me review my application and I learned a lot from it. Could please make a video for refugees who want to become citizen?
very helpfull video. What will happen if you travel after submiting the application, will that count into your absences? If not when is the best time to travel before your biometric appointment or after.
Great instructions easy to follow. Just one thing, at what point do i include the cover letter after paying or booking. I’ve just completed my application payed but didn’t book, and I can’t see the cover letter because I need to include something.
Hi, thanks for this helpful video, I have a question, I don't have passport from my country, only I have travel document from home office in the UK, however, when I put the information about that it showed me that evidence that I need to upload is travel document from my country which is confusing. Is there any advice?
Hi Nick, thank you for this! This was extremely helpful! I am applying as an EU citizen with a settled status and the section “EEA National” isn’t part of the application form. Do you know whether the form has been updated recently?
Hi, thanks for all this useful information. Could you just explain that in document section if someone does not have passport as proof of 5year residency and is not EEA and worked for 2-3 years, but not for complete 5 year. How do you manage this situation. Many thanks
Hey! This has been really helpful (like the commenter below I was confused about previous immigration apps) but I do believe the form has changed as it now asks about language requirements. It asks about language requirements as part of an indefinite leave application made after October 2013 but I do not recall this having been part of the EU Settlement Scheme app at all. I have done a language test now and can provide the certificate but will it be a problem that I didn't previously?
Edgewater, Hi, quick one! please I would to be clear with a few things please see below 1.- How can I get the right enter to the UK? ( I know the month and year ). 2.- About the 5 last years trips I found a few of them but cannot find more so Is there any way to get a trips history? 3.- I have this scenario: I will be travelling in 2 weeks and one more time in February ( Holidays ) my question is I send off the application next week for example so Will I not be able to travel? I mean if that it will affect the application once I sent off. Thanks in advance
Hi nick..thanks for the informative video..help a lot.been watching videos on how to become a British citizen... just a question about married to a British citizen? so my wife Naturalized British citizen ( shes a Filipino) is included as a British citizen? if yes..

Great video! I wish I did watch this before submitting my application! I just applied for the citizenship and accidentally I answered No for this question: Have you made any previous uk immigration applications in uk or abroad? i should have selected yes, as I have Settled status. How to resolve this matter please? Many thanks
I have a question: If you have refugees, indafinate leave to reamin in uk and now you applying for uk uk nationallization .if your own country passport and I'd expire do you still need to put all detail in or not.
Hi Nick, thanks for such through video guide. I have SS and it is linked to BRC, But my BRC has been expired in Jan 2022. Should I still use the same card for my application or do I need to get a new BRC card before I apply for citizenship? I am not sure if I was supposed to have a new BRC. Its BRC (Biometric residence Card) and not BRP. Thanks.
Nick ,thanks for the work.God bless you🙏🏾.Just did my naturalisation application,never came across the question have you had any other work over the past 10years? Am a bit confused to why I wasn’t asked that question.can someone help please .Thanks
Is it an issue for over speeding? First one speed awareness course than second time 3 points. Possibility of refusing citizenship? ( I would state those offences in application)
Hello, thank you for this video. Instead of letters from employer, could I use the income tax statements for the last 5 years and the EU settlement letter? Or, could i use the letter from the current employer( 2 years ) and the EU settlement letter which i got in November 2022 ?
Hi - thank you for this. Is the reference number for the indefinite leave to remain under the EU settlement scheme the share code or the “our reference number” that the home office states in their letter. I’m a bit confused
Hi nick , good presentation. Am due next July 24 , my passport expired in jan24 , unfortunately due to political unrest in my country, I can’t issue new passport . The embassy here in uk will provide sticker for 1 year extension together with letter explaining y , can I use for ILR , uk citizenship
Good presentation. I would like to know if PCN forms part of the lists of penalties to be disclosed and should you tick “ a penalty for driving offence for example disqualification for speeding or no motor insurance”? Section when issued with PCN or not. On the whole, should you disclose a PCN or charge certificate issued to you? Will there be repercussions if you fail to disclose PCN issued to you by a local council? Thanks
Hi Kwaku, I’m afraid I can’t give case-specific advice on here. The policy guidance on the good character requirement is here: www.gov.uk/government/publications/good-character-nationality-policy-guidance
Hi Nick thanks for the informative video, really helped me understand the process better. Quick question. I'm an EEA national with settled status, would an annual bank statement or an account summary covering a 12-month period, showing payments received or spending in the UK for 5 years be enough to prove i've lived in the UK or i need letters from each employer i've had in the last 5 years?
Hi Nick, the part where you have to input the biometric permit details. Do I ignore it if I have BRC and not BRP? Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks
hello, ive just sent of my application. however i didnt include my middle name as part of my first names, will that be an issue? and if so can it be fixed?
I lived in england for 13 years, i went back to Portugal, where i come from, and i was there for 7 years. My question is, would i be able to get british citizenship?
Hi Zsofia, thanks for your positive feedback. There have been delays to the documents and upload video. Hoping within the next month or so, but can’t guarantee I’m afraid
Good information and well received the details Hi nick I would like to know if I can send the documents the same time as I submit My application or shall I wait 48 hours before biometric appointment Thank you
Hi Ali, thanks for the feedback. At the time of writing, the documents can be submitted via the UKVCAS portal at any time after the submission of the online form up to the point of attendance of the biometric appointment (or provision of the info via the app)
Hi, Nick, thanks for a video. I have a question: can I apply for citizenship after feeling all requirements with a valid ILR but an expired foreign passport (I entered the UK with this passport)?
Hey Nick. Thank you very much for this video. I am Colombia and Spanish national but I would like to apply for British Passport. I have everythig. However, I travel a lot because of work and my absence overpass the time. Can I still apply? 😢 how about if it is gets rejected? Thanks!!
my father has British passport when England had mandate over Palestine (Israel today). What application should I use to attempt to become British Citizen. Thank you
hi, thanks for this video! I was going through the policy guide on absences in the last 12 months from the date of application they say the applicant should not have been out of the UK for more than 90 days while the policy has a small clause indicating that the "Total number of absences normally disregarded" is 100. I will be on 103 days when i apply. If my application is refused by the case handler, will I get my application fees refunded in full? thank you!

In other words the person I want my second referee to be is soemone who is a Lab Scientist but also has a cleaning company and is registered as a director. My issue is it asks for profession and I am not sure what I should put there "Director" or "Lab Scientist"
Hi Nick, First of all, Thank you so much for detailing out all the sections so we can navigate through our own Application. I have couple of quick questions if you can help answer, 1 - For Previous Visa Application, I have had all together 6 past application (including entry clearance and ILR applications). However, I do not have records of the Reference number as well as the dates of these application. I have left these options empty. This makes the entries look like multiple entries with my name, that it was made inside UK and that fingerprints were taken. Does this crates an issue for my application? 2 - I have a British spouse however, I got my ILR through 10 year long residence. does this have any impact on my application type as I am clicking yes on having a British spouse? Please help :)
Hi Karim, thanks for your comment. I can’t provide advice on specific applications here. Happy to review the application if you feel you need that level of support: www.edgewaterlegal.com/one-off-consultation

Hello nick I would like to ask a question I am separated with my husband, And I don’t have any documents like passport or ID of my husband what should I put the form in that case?
Hi, I submitted my application, uploaded my documents and showed up for the biometric appointment, al goo so far. However, I did all that without having done the life in the uk or the English test, which I booked and will do next Friday. somewhere during my long initial application i was led to believe i could upload/prove i passed the life in the uk and english test as soon as i had them, but I'm unsure I'll be able to tell or give them my certificates once i passed. did i screw everything up? or I can just tell them in a few weeks that i now have my certificates? how do i inform them? I fear i may need to withdraw and start again......i hope not

Hey Nick, quick question regarding the following: "Requirement to have been in the UK on the first day of the qualifying period If you are applying under section 6(1), you must have been in the UK exactly 5 years before your application was received. For example, if your application is received on 05/01/2022 you should have been physically present in the UK on 06/01/2017." At which point of the application the date is fixed? Is it when the payment is done? Thanks for the great content!
My wife has just completed her UK Citizenship application form online and paid the fee (currently £1630) She had previously photocopied all relevant documents, thinking it would be a simple case of adding this to the application. She was then directed to a separate site .. UK Visa and Citizenship Application Services where she had to open a new account. It is asking her to make an appointment, which would cost an additional £143. Is this appointment essential, or just some form of assistance, perhaps for folk not having access to photocopiers etc. If she has to attend, that’s fine .. she just doesn’t want to be wasting £143 Thanks !
My son born in the uk and he is 5 can I include him as a dependent in my application ? There is place asking any dependent is not applying with you in this time ? Shall I say yes or no ..??? Confusing question ? And the end of the form there is a option for addition dependent and its place to fill in .. so can I complete it including my son together for applying citizenship or I have to do separate application for child under 18 born in the uk .. there is one pay fee for one application I assume but submit 2 application for my son and myself separate will double 2k and more I’m not sure not there yet just guess and I wish you can help me to verify that to the end Thank you very much
Hi,just wondering when is the application dates? Is it the date u pay online and submitted or is the day u start filling out the form.please i need to know if possible.
Hi sir just I want to ask you about some questions is missing. I’m not sure which year application is from. The question is coming flowing Life in the Uk test which is English Language. I’m not sure about if I’m doing right application. Thank you
Good evening Nick I,am going to apply for naturalisation but I haven't done any works for the last 6 years. Do I have to do a covering letter or not and also is it a negative impact on my application. Sincerely yours
Hi Abdelhakim, I can’t provide specific info about your case I’m afraid. I’m hoping to do another video about covering letters when I get a spare day, but difficult to find time at the moment

Hello nick I would like to ask a question I am separated with my husband, And I don’t have any documents like passport or ID of my husband what should I put the form in that case?
Hi, I submitted my application, uploaded my documents and showed up for the biometric appointment, al goo so far. However, I did all that without having done the life in the uk or the English test, which I booked and will do next Friday. somewhere during my long initial application i was led to believe i could upload/prove i passed the life in the uk and english test as soon as i had them, but I'm unsure I'll be able to tell or give them my certificates once i passed. did i screw everything up? or I can just tell them in a few weeks that i now have my certificates? how do i inform them? I fear i may need to withdraw and start again......i hope not

On line application won’t be required paper form for referees?
Hey Nick, quick question regarding the following:
"Requirement to have been in the UK on the first day of the qualifying period
If you are applying under section 6(1), you must have been in the UK exactly 5 years before your application was received. For example, if your application is received on 05/01/2022 you should have been physically present in the UK on 06/01/2017."
At which point of the application the date is fixed? Is it when the payment is done?
Thanks for the great content!
When they receive your application. That's the date.
My wife has just completed her UK Citizenship application form online and paid the fee (currently £1630)
She had previously photocopied all relevant documents, thinking it would be a simple case of adding this to the application.
She was then directed to a separate site .. UK Visa and Citizenship Application Services where she had to open a new account.
It is asking her to make an appointment, which would cost an additional £143.
Is this appointment essential, or just some form of assistance, perhaps for folk not having access to photocopiers etc.
If she has to attend, that’s fine .. she just doesn’t want to be wasting £143
Thanks !
My son born in the uk and he is 5 can I include him as a dependent in my application ? There is place asking any dependent is not applying with you in this time ? Shall I say yes or no ..??? Confusing question ? And the end of the form there is a option for addition dependent and its place to fill in .. so can I complete it including my son together for applying citizenship or I have to do separate application for child under 18 born in the uk .. there is one pay fee for one application I assume but submit 2 application for my son and myself separate will double 2k and more I’m not sure not there yet just guess and I wish you can help me to verify that to the end
Thank you very much

Good evening Nick I,am going to apply for naturalisation but I haven't done any works for the last 6 years. Do I have to do a covering letter or not and also is it a negative impact on my application.
