 Posted: Tue Nov 01, 2011 1:49 pm Post subject: queries regarding citizenship please |
 |
|
Hi there,
I have got my ILR (5 years work permit) in august 2011 and I'm looking to submit for my citizenship next august... I have two queries if any one can answer me please:
1- I'm married outside of the UK but I have been living in the UK alone without my wife... should I declare this in any way in my application ? and if it will affect my application?
2- there is a risk of losing my job due to bad situation in my company so is it going to affect my citizenship ?
thanks alot |

1. The details of your spouse and present address are required by the AN form. I don't think it will by itself effect your application if no other concerns about future intentions are raised (for example, if you don't or only partly fulfil the abscense out of the UK criteria)
2. No. |

In the application form you are asked to provide your wife address (in the UK or overseas) so you will effectively declare it.
This might raise questions about your future intentions.

No. There is no requirement to be in employment when applying. |

Have you read the link I referred to? In particular 2.2.5 & 2.2.6.
The HO will not grant naturalisation to people not intended to be part of the UK in future. As your spouse lives abroad, this cast doubts on your future intentions. |

I would not worry too much.
If HO inquires, you can give the same answer you gave here (i.e. she will join me one day).
I don't think this will fail your application but the worst that can happen is you loose your application fee. |

My close friend did last year, after being on work permit and then tier2 and then ILR. No questions were raised.
By no means I am saying that you are guaranteed the same outcome though. |

So, explaining the situation about your relationship may help prove the above.

Since when? has your wife ever come to the UK and lived with you (even for a short period)?

It does say in guidance that if you relationship has broken down, then your wife living abroad won't count against you.
If your relationship has not broken down, then your wife may well join you in UK after x amount of time.
Now I do not think that you will find any kind of case law, because there is no appeal as such for naturalisation application, to give you a clear cut answer so you know in black and white what to do.
I would say, that if you think your are not going to get back ever with your wife then start divorce proceedings from UK. Divorce proceeding papers and a letter pointing out total breakdown of relationship will do your job.
If you think that you might get back with your wife one day, then you may do a trip to India, and then once back and applied for naturalisation, you may have a valid argument and explanation that your wife will join you in UK in x amount of time etc etc. |

Your choice whether you wish to apply without an explanation or with one. In my opinion, an explanation will only help prove that you two have not lived together in a marital relationship since 2007 (?), that the relationship may have broken down permanently even though you two are still legally married, and that your future intentions to remain in UK should not be judged only on the fact that your wife is not living with you but should be assessed based on the fact that you have lived in the UK since 2007 alone, you have made it your home and you work here and will continue to do so in the future.
IMHO ...

Just for those people who are married to a Brit who is abroad, your situation would be different to the OP's.
Applying under section 6(2) and schedule 1 does NOT specify the future links to the UK of those applying under 6(2).
Paragraph 1(d)(i) of Schedule 1 only applies to s.6(1) so only the fact of the marriage to a Brit and qualifying stay, good character etc. is required for s.6(2) applications based on marriage to a Brit. |
