    Hey guys,
    Welcome back to my channel and thanks for watching this video. In this video I will be carrying step for step through my own personal citizenship application. I thought this would be an interesting video to make as I am currently in the process of applying for my citizenship and I personally found it a hard to apply for british citizenship in 2022. Hopefully this video can be helpful to some extend for this who are in the process of applying and are unsure about how to answer some questions in this application process. If you got anymore questions please don’t hesitate to ask me them in the comment section below. I hope you like this video please don’t forget to comment, like, share and subscribe..
    NB: This is my own British citizenship application and application answers my vary depending on your own individualised application and I am also completing this application on my own.

    Hi Belinda, what a piece of information!
    I have just submitted my application, but I was panicking, because I am a dual citizen (non eea/italian) so wasn't sure if I could put the Italian nationality (before) and my birth nationality (after).You did the same of me!
    Did you have to mention that in the cover letter?
    Did you have any problem with that?

    Hey Bellinda, first of all, congrats on the citizenship! I had a question regarding the "Have you made any previous UK immigration applications in the UK?" There is a lot of varying answers around this question on the internet and I am confused as to what I should say: yes or no. Do student visas, EEA family members, ILR, etc. count as "immigration" applications? None of these are permanent statuses, though. Help a sister out, pls.

    Hi Belinda, thanks for helping us filing up the applications for British citizenship, very useful. Please quick question As it is in your case, I also have already dual nationality, Spanish and from a South American country. My Spanish passport is valid until November 2024 which I think it is fine. But my south American which I think i have to include expired in 2016. Would that be a problem?

    Hi Belinda
    Very informative video. After submitting the scanned documents on the online portal and going to the centre to verify and get your picture and fingerprints and waiting for the decisions, during this wait
    1) do we have to submit our passport and the hardcopy of the reference forms filled by post.
    2) Would they send out a biometric card in a couple of months or would you get the biometric card after you get an invitation for the ceremony.
    I'm confused about this
    Please advise

    Hi Beauty,
    Thanks so much for all of your videos.
    I have some questions in regards to the application, 1 ones of them is what did you mean by scanning each page of the passport? I have got an EEA passport does it mean that i need to scan all the 100 pages or just front and back of the main page? Second question is do i just scan the passport or you have to give the actual passport to the biometric appointment? Also i moved to the Uk in 2015 but between 2015 to 2017 I only lived in room so don’t have a actual contract but i do have employment and college university letters does that help?
    Final question is does my BTEC 4 certificate and a Bachelor degree obtained in the UK does that exempt me feom the English test?
    Thanks so much!

    • @nurse_bellinda
      @nurse_bellinda  Рік тому +1

      100 pages. Unfortunately the requirement is to scan each page. You will have to do both scan your passport and at the time of your appointment you will have to physically present your passport as well. When you were staying in a shared house did you not get a contract??
