Re: HO is gone strange, Please help

Thanks for all inputs. I will just fill in the form they sent asking questions and see what happens. Hello, I also had the same letter and filled out and gave all relevant details. I got my ILR through 14 years long residency and I had to wait 5 years due to having a motoring offence. Since I ...

Re: Naturalisation - question re: claiming funds

Him thanks again guys. I have made a timeline for my past. July 2010 - Application received/processed by HO to start ILR process. Do you know which route this application was made under? It was applied on the 14 years long residence route. One point to bear in mind is that the 10 year period that ...

Re: Naturalisation - question re: claiming funds

Since yesterday, I have spoken with my solicitor and he also agrees that they should not go as far 2000 to decide for a good character. He also agrees that Scottish law to grant tuition fee is different from England and I may have been eligible back then (or fee paying body decided to give me as ...

Re: Naturalisation - question re: claiming funds

This is clearly not a rigorous, comprehensive nor definitive assessment of your status. A telephone helpline operative may not be fully-trained in the nuances of student fees assessment (especially dating back to circa 2000) I realize that. Why has UKVI now initiated inquiries into your history for ...

Re: Naturalisation - question re: claiming funds

If you did not have ILR (settled status) on your first day of college then it is unclear how you managed to be categorised as a Home student & pay Home fees. This is in addition to having lived in Uk for at least 3 years. Just living in UK is not enough. It sounds like someone assumed you were ...

Anything else – I have to contact the organisation directly. So for my first attempt I phoned the fee paying organisation number and asked briefly these q ...

Are you saying you received a loan from the student loans company? If so, did you complete the application truthfully? Hi Amber, Reading your post again - NO. IT IS NOT A LOAN. It was a tuition fee that was directly paid by the organisation to the college. It did not go via my bank account nor I ...

Re: General Discussion During Naturalisation Application Pro

The Home Office appears to have been stamping a date of 31 October 2015 on approvals received this week (including mine). The 31 October 2015 was a Saturday. This leads to two extraordinary conclusions: 1. the Home Office is actually processing applications on the weekend, or 2. the Home Office is ...

If someone was to work in their 14 year long residency before getting ILR, will they count working (paying taxes/NI) as legal or illegal when it comes to BC?
