As a EU applicant with settlement status do I still have to answer "yes" to previous applications?

Thank you for this useful content. But what happens to those EU legally residing in the UK who were made redundant during the start of the pandemic (march 2020) and thus cannot prove via employer letter or NIN letter that they were in fact in the UK during that period. What alternative evidence would be considered by the Home Office, please? Will bank statements be sufficient when the pandemic meant no going out and we stayed at home 24/7?

Perhaps you could expand to pensioner status also including evidence

Thank you for sharing this highly valuable video free of charge. I have one question regarding poof of absence. If you already have ILR/Settled status which requires you to meet the same absence criteria, why do you need to prove it again extensively? Shouldn’t you just prove the last 12 months?

Hello, thank you for making such a clear and helpful video! Had a quick question as I'm getting ready to apply for my citizenship under the marriage route - with my referees, is it ok to have my employer be one of them and a friend who is a teacher (he has only been a teacher for a year or two) be the other one? Both live in the UK, are over 25, and are in the professional category. Just wasn't sure if my employer was allowed to be a referee, but couldn't find anywhere where it says I can't use them. Thank you for all your help! xx

Do you have to declare parking tickets PCN or ULEZ Penalty or CC penalties on your citizenship application?

Thank you for the video, it was very helpful. Just I didn't work in recent three years as I was pregnant and now I am taking care of my baby. I would ask you if I provide two p60 from my previouse works and plus mortgage agreement, are they enough? I am an eu family member and a year ago I got my second citizenship by a eu country. Unfortunatly even when I wasn't eu citizen, my passport doesn't have enough entry stamps for each time I entered UK and I really don't know why!!! (I always used the same document and gates to enter UK) So I would like ask you what can I provide as housewife to show my present in UK? Many thanks again

Hi Nick, I intend to apply soon for the naturalization , so the 5 years of my qualifying period would look as follows, 4 years on emplyment and 1 year without a work so i am wondering how to cover this gap of 1 year in terms of evidences of residency? would 1 goverment letter that was sent to my address in the gap year with my name on it suffice to cover that year ? how many evidences are needed to cover that year ? Thanks

What about an expired B1 English test can you still apply? My wife took and passed her test in august 2019 now we’re in 2023. Any answers would be appreciated. Thank you

Great video, thank you! With the new update from 28 June, is it still recommended to provide evidence of residence for 10 years for EU nationals?

Eu national here (with EUSS since 2018) in continuos employment since 2016. Will a "letter of employment" be a enough as evidence of residence for the 5 years qualifying period ? No need to add something else?

When you have ILR,the 5 years lawfully are not that important.

Hi Nick, if I have lost Life in the UK test certificate, how would I fill online application field with ID number? Thanks in advance.

Best of luck everybody! I sent in my supporting documents back in April and I still don't have them back. Apparently they are holding everything while they process people coming from Ukraine. Totally understandable, but it's a bit of an ask to have people be separated from their passports for the better part of the year.

if I am Australian Resident why British is not granted?
