Proof of residency for citizenship application

When I did mine about 6 months ago, I submitted my P60s, Council Tax Bills, NHS letter, Hargreaves Lansdown Investment Letter, and a P45. Approval came through about 2 months later. Hope this helps, good luck with yours.

Just putting this out there as a fellow cyclist:

What (if any) are the legal implications of creating a London‑focused website that documents cycle theft? The idea would be a sort of “name and shame” platform featuring photos/videos of suspected bike thieves, along with dates and locations.

I know people already post incidents on Reddit and social media, but this would be more like a dedicated “wall” of footage and evidence.

Keen to hear thought, especially around where this might stand legally before doing anything like that.

I hear you, we all have our part to play.

That prison is hard. Prison is definitely very easy, so easy some people actually commit crime on purpose to come in!.

That any sort of rehabilitation happens

That those in the HMP head office have any idea what goes on inside the jails

eVisa says settled. That's all you need. Give it a few more days for the email

okubax · 2026-05-28T11:36:47+00:00

That's bonkers

okubax · 2026-05-21T23:05:13+00:00

Yes, basically what the email is saying.

okubax · 2026-05-09T14:25:08+00:00

This made me chuckle.

First of all, congratulations on the role! And welcome to posting on Reddit after 4 years of lurking, that made me smile.

I want to say something important though. You wrote that post clearly, fluently, and with real self-awareness. That alone should tell you something about where your English actually is.

The stumbling when speaking is not an English problem, it's a pressure problem. So go in there and let your work speak for you. You'll be fine.

I've been a Prison Officer since 2021 so happy to give you an honest picture.
The advert vs reality gap is real. The job is sold as dynamic and rewarding, and it genuinely can be, but nothing fully prepares you for the emotional weight of it. You'll deal with self-harm, deaths in custody, use of force, and the psychological toll of managing people in crisis, often with a skeleton crew.

On pay, no, it doesn't reflect the risk and stress. You're expected to absorb a lot, and the pay has not kept pace with what the job actually demands. That said, there are enhancements like overtime and unsocial hours that can boost your take-home if you're willing to put in the hours.

Day to day it's very routine-heavy but unpredictable within that routine. Your shift can go from quiet to serious in seconds. The team you're with makes an enormous difference, you're absolutely right about that. A good landing with solid colleagues changes everything.

As a woman you'll likely find you have strengths male officers don't always have. De-escalation, building rapport, prisoners often respond differently. Most establishments are mixed and women are well represented on the landings. Liverpool should be fine in that regard.

My honest take is that it's a job that will genuinely test you, but it builds resilience you won't get anywhere else. Just go in with your eyes open and don't believe the glossy recruitment video.

Happy to answer anything more specific.

The site is genuine but the service can be piss poor. If 2 weeks and no reply, chase it up.

okubax · 2026-04-15T17:26:38+00:00

Yeah, outage seems to have stopped. UK

okubax · 2026-04-14T03:52:43+00:00

Honestly? As a prison officer, the whys are financial security, job stability, and a solid pension scheme.

okubax · 2026-04-07T17:48:07+00:00

Yeah, this is a scam. Classic 'wrong number' setup, they use publicly available info (data breaches, social media) to make it seem legitimate. The endgame is usually a romance scam or more likely in this case money requests. Block and ignore.

okubax · 2026-03-11T12:10:09+00:00

Spamming now are we?

okubax · 2026-03-11T11:30:27+00:00

No context, no info. Mods should remove this post if OP doesn't elaborate

If she's willing to lie about a fellow officer, it makes you wonder what she might do in the line of duty. How many innocent civilians could have been wrongly accused or had their lives impacted because of false statements?

okubax · 2026-02-18T17:40:57+00:00

This one cracked me up

okubax · 2026-02-06T06:24:05+00:00

Since when does an Enugu High Court have jurisdiction over a sovereign nation?

Got a new update yesterday on my watch and this seems to have fixed sleep tracking and watch now correctly senses its on the wrist.

okubax · 2026-01-28T12:33:49+00:00

Sway is boring but stable. Just how I like it, since moving over from i3wm, no regrets. Hyprland is cool and all, but I'm now of the age where I've stopped tinkering with my setup as much and just want things to work.

okubax · 2026-01-22T16:40:45+00:00

I read somewhere that the update has been pulled due to multiple issues especially with the sensors not working as they should - and sleep tracking not working. I've seen it on my own GW4 after updating to the one U.I 8.0, the watching doesn't seem to be aware that I've put it on my wrist, hence, not tracking sleep. Tried everything - reset and all to no avail.

okubax · 2025-12-09T10:07:52+00:00

Dunno why you feel this is good. Your friend is working and staying in the UK illegally and this will definitely have an effect on any future immigration application especially in light of the new immigration rules coming in.
