    That's a bit of a sweeping statement Graham

    Personally, I've got my doubts

    In terms of your British Citizenship, please make a careful review of the application form and Guidance.
    Specifically look to 'Section 1: Personal Information' and to Q1.5, Q1.6 & Q1.7

    It's normally straightforward to have your Maiden name used on the form and also on the Naturalisation Certificate when reverting to maiden name (per birth certificate) following divorce. Just follow the guidance and submit the documentation.
    This can be fully explained and requested on P13 of the AN form called 'FURTHER INFORMATION NOT COVERED IN OTHER SECTIONS'

    Income/Savings etc does not form any part of the Application for Naturalisation so don't get concerned about that aspect.

    Do bear in mind that Naturalisation will require you to have 5 years residence in UK as you are no longer a spouse of UK citizen.

    Hope this helps you and reduces and concerns you had

    Your very welcome.

    As always, please do review the application form and guidance and be sure you can fully comply with all requirements.

    You may consider securing a British Passport before re-acquiring Philippine citizenship since the Philippine Embassy will cancel your Philippine passport at the Oath-Taking and you'll have no other valid travel document.
    You should therefore consider renewing that passport at the same time.

    When the wife got her new British passport, a few days earlier she got back her Philippine passport back. Untouched uncut. Perfectly usable. So if she looses her Philippine citizenship why on earth have they give it back?

    british law allows you dual citizenship, so there is no problem with UKBA, its the phils gov thats a bit of a problem with having to take the Oath again.

    Sorry Mark, I don't understand your point or question

    After the Naturalisation Ceremony did she then renew her passport? Sounds not. Means the Philippine Embassy are not aware she has British Citizenship.

    Once someone takes the oath for British Citizenship then technically, and according to Philippine laws, that person automatically loses Philippine Citizenship until such time as they re-acquire it by taking the Philippine Oath.

    Of course if that person never reveals the truth to Philippine authorities then nothing will happen until it is either revealed voluntarily or until it is somehow discovered.
    Plenty of folks do that but there are some highly undesirable consequences.

    Did your wife take an oath of allegience at the Philippine Embassy and receive a certificate of citizenship?
