    October 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

    Hi All, hope everything going well for everyone. Just wanted to update my progress. So I messed up in my application and used my PR card as one of my forms of ID (missed the part where it said don't do that) so they sent everything back to me December 15th. I didn't have to re fill out any...

    October 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

    So I confess I haven't been paying a ton of attention since this application has been on the back burner for me for many years, but am I right in thinking that right now no citizenship tests are being conducted? Since when and does that mean there just loads of people waiting to take the test...

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    Regarding the strike discussion, I'm a little confused: are you all certain that it will have an impact on our applications? Perhaps there is a difference between the Missasague "approval" stage and the London approval stage? I only ask because of those replies we saw a couple of posts back...

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    Hi Kareena, Welcome to the forum :) I don't believe this will be a problem, although it may be inconvenient if they end up wanting an interview. You can apply through the London office even if you don't live in the UK - I myself am in Canada on a extended tourist visa (so I can be with my...

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    Hey everyone :) Since I put in my application back in September 28th, I've been mainly holding tight.

    Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

    scooper81 don't worry. For one thing everyone (including me!) is erring on the side of caution. For another you guys have your marriage certificates, those alone are impressive enough, especially as they don't imply (due to timing) that you married for any reason other than partnership. Me and...
