10 years long residence applications

[shahfurqan]

HI I have been married to a British citizen for more than 3 years now and currently on a Spouse Visa! Can someone please confirm whether I can apply directly for Naturalization or I will have to apply for ILR first in any event?

Many thanks in advance for you help.

Regards

@still waiting,mate i am pretty much sure you cannot straightaway apply for naturalization as you have to have get your ilr first and then you will be eligible for naturalization.

i do not agree that HO gives priority to those applicant whose visa is going to expire soon as if this is the case which is baseless concept then there are members who applied and there current leave to remain still exist until end of 2015 including me so should we wait for all those applicants who visa have expired or nearly expired?? if this is really the way HO deals then best of luck to me as i will get my decision February or March 2016.

@Shahfurqan I agree but why did they ask me for my Visa expiry date I called them many times they never asked me However today they asked me thats why I requested any of the members to Dial HO and ask direct question

Looking at the tracker its not the way at all ..... some guys who have visas valid till 2016 have got their ILRs on time so you are right mate

But this needs checking though why they are asking this " when does your visa expire question ;-

@maddy,keep trust and faith strong on Almighty as they could ask any question they want and trust me staff sitting behind computers is not necessarily means to be well trained but i will strongly advice you do not stress up and do not make calls quite often as you will get more frustrated and you will not get same answer from every operator but every operator will have a different story to tell and will ask you different question.I called last week and then i was regretting for my call as even after three months what they had for me that they have received my application.just chill up and take n easy.

Hmm Fixed Tracker to my knowledge . does show all the info we usually look for but definitely not the way it used to be .

Waiting for some moderators to fix it efficiently ie in a perfect state

[maddysheffield]

if someone can call HO and confirm if they will deal with applications on Date Basis or on the basis if the applicant's present visa expiry date on priority base please

( I have called them twice today ).



Number @HO : 0300 123 2241

You would need your Case ID , Name, Nationality and Date of Birth .

Thanks In advance .

They always tell you they deal applications based on when they received them. However, I am not sure why did he ask for visa expiry date, so I assumed may be visa expiry date is also one of the factor of their priority.

@ Arsal385 Your assumption might be true because as I said they for the first time asked me for Visa expiry date lets get someone else call HO and ask a straight forward question ....about visa Dates thing which will make things absolutely clear for us .

Guys can some call HO number above

Couldn't wait till next year

Called HO again just to reconfirm and I got entirely different message ...Application is not yet allocated to case worker ( This time they asked me when does my current Visa expires ???????????? Any forum members who have been asked the same question??????????????????????? Please let me know

Thanks[/quote]

They did ask me same question last week, so I assume that they also prioritise applications based on applicants visa expiry date.[/quote]


oh kay , I have visa till March 30 2015 ........ so they will ignore my application till others who's visa is going to expire

To understand if HO is prioritising we need some members who received their approvals to let us know when their present visa was going to expire ..[/quote]

There are other factors as well and every application is unique

[maddysheffield]

Just called HO ..... The lady on phone took all the details and to my surprise kept me on hold ........ came back and confirmed that the application is still under consideration and it has been allocated to case worker and I need to wait for decision


I had to put words into her mouth to get answers so I'm not totally convinced by her information .........Might call HO next year


Lets see .... Till than watching a never ending game Track and Trace on Royal mail website . every hour after 6.00 pm

Just called the HO to enquire about the status of my application. The lad on the other side said my application hadn't been allocated to a case-worker yet.

When I inquired as to the delay in allocating it, he said it might be that they'd need further information or carrying out investigations.

Now, the wait is made even more unbearable

@Jurymustdie Totally Agree mate .

If I am not wrong ... its counted in days rather than months . 180 days which is less than 6 months .....so no question of months ....yes at places it does say 6 months but it's calculated as 180 days only .....

Just say child is entitled to, and will, register for British citizenship immediately after a parent is granted ILR.

They may impose extra financial burden on spouse's FLR(M), due to child, before child becomes British.

[Kindsoul]

Can somebody plz advice me on the this.
Hi everyone all senior members
I have applied on 15th of sep 2014 for ILR(LR) and still waiting for the result. I have also sent my
Wife's application and asked them to put on hold until I get my ILR . NOW yesterday I have received a letter
Stating that your application is put on hold ( as expected) due to your sponser's outstanding application in LIVERPOOL. but further they have asked me ;

“It is noted that your child is not currently a British Citizen. Therefore, we would wish to know what your intentions are in respect to your child's permission to be in the United kingdom, given that your spouse has yet to obtain indefinite Leave to Remain".

I have not sent my child's application because my daughter already has visa till April 2016 and I will apply for british citizenship( will automatically qualify for British Citizen, born in UK ) for her as soon as I receive my ILR.

Has anybody experinced this? Or have knowledge in terms of responding to this query.

Do I need to inform them or how ( sending copies of her passport & visa) OR simply reply them mentioning that I will be applying for BC soon I get my ILR. Suggestion please.

Many thanks to all.
