we applied online on sunday--paid the fee and went to the next stage--booking an appointment for biometrics etc at sopra steria southampton--but to no avail --as the appointments page was locked till after the bank holiday. So i tried again this evening--but still--no appointments at all in may--same with Reading office. Strange--till i read a bit more--we are to expect an email within 10 days which implies it might be possible to do it through an app--if UKVCAS has all her needed info in their system already. Hope so. did i read somewhere the actual ceremony had been suspended at some point because of covid ?
Simple steps E mail for biometrics or app Decision Book ceronomy once you have certificate with number on. When we went ceronomy was on but restricted to applicant plus one guest
got the email today saying to use the app. Take own photo and upload with the docs required. No sopra steria appointment needed..saves time and quite a bit of money, for a change,
what does this require ?: Proof of living in the UK for Ms nida XXXXXXXXXX for 5 years if applying in your own right or 3 years if applying as the spouse of a British Citizen and this...Ms nida XXXXXXXXXXXXXX proof of freedom from immigration time restrictions
Passport showing first entry into UK and last entry if she's been out and come back which she has Brp card showing indefinite leave to remain Your not dealing with immigration now hour dealing with UKgov and they don't talk to each other lol
Double edged generic question for all applicants yes they want passport page bio but you must show the date of entry the bio page does not show that we all so scanned all leave and entry pages to show she had confirmed to absence levels out of UK. BRP Generic for all just double it up we did
when you do your citizenship application--you may get a message to say your application can be done through their online app instead of booking a visit to sopra steria. So you have to wait to be told what your next step is. Ours took 2 weeks to be told to download their app and do it all through that. Saved an expensive trip to sopra steria.
