Citizenship after ILR
« on: March 19, 2024, 06:43:09 PM »
Hi Folks. I am looking at applying for the Citizenship this week. I have a quick question i hope someone can answer. We are thinking of moving away from our current address in the next couple of months but want to apply for Citizenship this week. Is there a way to change the address after i've applied for the citizenship?.

In theory, yes but I’d caution against it… on my FLR extension (2nd visa) we moved after submitting the application. In my case it was because we were closing on a house (new-build completion) which had been pushed back. I submitted a change of address form online and thought nothing more of it. Two months later, they issued my BRP and sent it to my OLD address which meant going on a wild goose chase trying to get a replacement. They acknowledged my change of address a month later but decided on the application before they’d processed the change of address request (took them months). In the end it took a couple extra months of waiting to get a replacement BRP. I had no choice but to apply before my first visa ran out but if I were going for citizenship with ILR in hand, I’d wait until after the move to apply.
