Complex cases involving residence calculation issues or character concerns may take longer. We help speed up the process by making sure your application is complete and error-free from submission.

No, you can't apply for British citizenship online. All applications must be submitted by post using the appropriate paper form (AN for naturalisation, MN1 for child registration). But you can book your biometric appointment online after submitting your application.

EU citizens with settled status can apply for British citizenship through naturalisation after holding settled status for 12 months and meeting the 5-year residence requirement. You'll need your digital settled status confirmation, residence evidence, Life in the UK test certificate, and English language qualification.

If refused, you can request an administrative review within 28 days (£372 fee) or make a fresh application addressing the refusal reasons. We have a specialist appeal team in overturning refused citizenship applications through administrative review or reapplication strategies.

To apply for British citizenship by marriage, you need 3 years of residence (instead of 5), marriage to a British citizen, ILR or settled status for 12+ months, Life in the UK test, English qualification, and good character. We specialise in marriage-based applications and understand the additional evidence required.

Total costs are: Home Office fee £1,330, biometric appointment £80, and our solicitor fees from £1,800. This totals £3,210 for straightforward cases. We offer fixed-fee pricing with no hidden costs and payment plans over 6 months.
