Fees? How much are you paying? Amount given as scholarship?

I paid £5000+ 60% scholarship. Go to the University of East London website, get their number and call. You'll be directed to the correct team and confirm for yourself is my advice.

Update:

My naturalisation ceremony was done on the 18th of June. My passport arrived today!

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to provide useful information. My immigration journey has finally come to an end

Good luck to everyone still in the process.

My passport arrived today.

I have now come to the end of my UK immigration journey. I wish everyone still in the process success in current/future applications.

Now is the time to see the world without the stress of visa applications. Going to Amsterdam next month and Mallorca in October lol.

I had to do a reprint for my first renewal after arriving in the UK as the initial one was over 2years old. Maybe I could have used the same but I didn't see anyone who did it and I wasn't ready to take the chance.

For ILR and naturalisation, I used the same NARIC certificate.

Yes, I used the same NARIC certificate for my ILR and for naturalisation as I just got my passport a few months ago and I have never heard anyone talk about reprinting, maybe the poster lost the initial certificate?

Your HR really should not be requesting your new BRP. What they need to request is proof of your right to work which they can access by confirming your submission details with Home Office using this link https://www.gov.uk/employee-immigration-employment-status. My employer had to do that when my spouse visa expired and I was awaiting FLR and when I joined a new company when I was waiting for ILR. Some employers can be funny about it so you need to prioritise your online submission.

Were you able to move to the next module and also do you see your grade for the 2 courses completed?

Mine has been pending since and I haven't been able to start any new modules.

Yes, I emailed support team to update my profile when I finished with the first 2 modules. I am on the 3rd module now.

I'm currently doing my MBA with the University of East London via Unicaf. I called UEL and they confirmed the programme is legit and it's fully handled by Unicaf but on graduation, I would get the same certificate as students that attended UEL. I did not pay any money until I got an offer letter from Unicaf.

I started last year in October, I have completed 2 courses so far.

Do you mean the Super Priority Service - SPV (1 day)? Because I can't seem to find Priority Service (5 days) on their website despite night camping and waiting for over 2 nights now.

Yes, it is the Super Priority Service. See the screenshot below, it came up at midnight.

Thank you!!

I just checked my email and saw where I saved the documents I scanned and uploaded. Here goes:

- Spouse British passport data page
- My passport data page and BRP
- The page on my old passport that shows my entry stamp
- A very old letter I received when I got my NI number (sure it's not necessary but just in addition to the stamp to show I have been here 5 years)
- Marriage Certificate
- Masters certificate + NARIC letter
- 2 Referees
I wrote the name at the back of the passport, but it was useless as I didn't scan the back. You can skip it.

I can't remember if there was anything else but I think that was it.

newbie715:
Off the top of my head, I couldn't list the documents but I can remember it didn't include proof of habitation but I seem to remember it wanted something that showed when you arrived so I sent a copy of my passport page where I was stamped in. I may be wrong but I don't recall the need to show proof of income, obviously no IHS payment but you need 2 referees. Sorry I couldn't be of more help but it's pretty straight forward.

Thank you, that was useful.

Please did you send all the pages of your passport and that of your spouse?

Also the referee form with my passport attached, wondering how they get to see the back of the passport since they ask that I put my name & D.O.B. Should the form just be scanned and uploaded with the rest of the requested documents?

Hi All,

Please anyone able to provide a list of documents submitted for Naturalisation. I have checked the thread, I just see those who have done it saying the document required is less than that for ILR.

Everything looks pretty straightforward on the checklist but worth seeing what others have provided to avoid any delay with my application.

Thanks

Hello,

I have now received my ILR. Thanks to everyone for providing helpful information.

I used the priority service (it comes up only at midnight).

Biometrics was done on March 2nd, got an approval email about 2 hours later.
I received my card today (March 7th).

Hi, I know we can apply for naturalisation immediately after getting our ILR. Please, how long did you wait after you got your ILR before you applied?

newbie715:
More good news. I had my citizenship ceremony today so I can apply for my passport now.

Fynebouy:
Congratulations. Do you know how long it will take for your BRP to be sent to you.

I received it 4 working days after I submitted my documents

Hi All,

I submitted my application on Friday 13th September using super priority service. Got an approved email today (16th September).

For anyone this might help, I used NARIC for my initial application from Nigeria. All I had to do now was order a reprint service from NARIC using exact documents I used in 2016.

Documents submitted:

My passport & BRP
Hubby & daughter's passport
Daughter' birth certificate
NARIC certificate
Degree certificate
Marriage Certificate
Hubby payslip
Hubby letter from employer
Hubby's 6 months bank statement
Title deeds of our house
Mortgage statement
Council tax bill
Random selection of bills and letters received for the past 2 years (It was plenty o.. lol)

I paid for scanning service so wasn't bothered.


I wish everyone yet to apply all the best.

Alohetij:
Hi everyone,

Please is there anyone who used the same NARIC certificate they used for their first Visa coming from Nigeria?

Thank you

I think I went ahead of myself.. just checked my NARIC account.. I need to re-upload my documents and order a new certificate.
