Citizenship Application Procedure after ILR SET(M) - Reference Doc

Hello! I am working through my citizenship application and I am wondering for the question below how to answer? At first I thought yes then I thought No but now I’m not sure!

“Have you made any previous immigration applications in the UK or abroad?” Do they mean visas like ILR?

Thank you!

Yes, they mean any and all UK visa applications you have ever made.

Your answer will be yes, as you will have made at least 3 immigration applications in the past in order to be able to qualify for citizenship now:

1) initial spousal visa to enter the UK
2) FLR(M) visa extension
3) ILR visa

Hello again!

Another citizenship application question…

Using my passport for Proof of living in the UK for 3 years (British spouse):

In what scenario will my passport not be enough and I need an employer letter etc? I just want to make sure everything that is needed goes in the first go round.

Thank you!

Your passport will be enough in pretty much all cases. For people who moved here on a spousal visa and are applying for citizenship based on being married to a UK citizen, it's rare to need to provide anything other than your passport.

The only time you would need an employer letter is if, for example, you had lost the passport(s) which showed when you entered the UK, and instead you had to use evidence of your employment to prove continuous residence in the UK.

Compared to your visas, almost no documents are required for a citizenship application, so it should be really straightforward.

All you should need to provide is the following:
- current passport
- previous passport, if you initially entered the UK on a different passport than your current one (i.e. if you have renewed your passport since moving here)
- your ILR BRP card
- your spouse's UK passport
- your marriage certificate
- 2 signed referee forms

Question regarding trips abroad- we went on a cruise earlier this year to Spain, Portugal, and France, I'm not really sure how to enter this in as it wasn't a trip to one country and each visit was only for one day? Anyone know what to put?

Thank you for the clarification. I think I’m almost set to apply, thanks again!

I think I'm just putting it like:
Country visited:Spain
Reason for trip:   Cruise:Spain, Portugal, France

So I entered the 3 visas and then the very next question is very similar but is posed as this,

“Have you previously made any other UK immigration applications in the UK or abroad?”

I am thinking the answer is no since I already listed all the visa applications. It’s a little confusing as to why this question is sort of repeated.

Thanks for any advice on this!!

Yeah, that's a weird one.

I'm guessing maybe it means things like appealing a previous visa refusal or applying for asylum or refugee status... so I would assume the answer should be No.

Oh I didn’t think of that. I could see in those cases this question could apply. Thanks for your insight

I’m going with a “no” for that question!

Hi there
Silly question - what do you put on the BRP place of issue on the citizenship application?

It doesn’t say anything on the BRP itself. My wife did the biometrics in Croydon and we had the priority booked. So guessing Croydon maybe?

Cheers

Hi. You put UK.
It does say place and date of issue on it.

Hi,

My citizenship application is submitted and biometrics next Thursday.

My uploads need to be done before my biometrics correct? I plan to scan myself.

Thank you !
