We are waiting for an appt at our local Nationality checking service (Birmingham registry office) where for £60 they will check our form completion, copy all documents so we have them back and take payment for Ligaya`s citizenship application.
I am trying to find out if as they take payment that day does that mean the application is lodged that day. One of the key rules is that you are in the country on day of application , well clearly if we use this service then she is here.
If however they send all the checked forms off to the UKBA and it is commenced some days /weeeks later Ligaya may be at home in the Phils as she leaves a couple of weeks after our projected appt if we allow the maximum 6 weeks for the checkimg appointment. I have tried calling the helpline but all automated and I cannot get this answered.Any one happen to use this service recently?
I have sent an email to UKBA help centre so may be I wlll get an answer
