Thanks or your reply f2k. My stepson has lived in the UK with us for 2 years already, his mum has lived here for three years. No, it's not completely clear to me what his entitlement is. I haven't seen anywhere that he can apply for naturalisation at the same time as his mum (certainly he was entiti...
I guess I could simplify the above question by asking whether a 13 year old child who becomes registered (not naturalised) as a British citizen, is entitled to have his own child's UK Passport?
Can someone please clarify the position of a 13 year old child who has ILR and is resident in the UK and wishes to register as a British citizen and have his own UK passport? My wife who has ILR and has been resident in the UK for more than 3 years is about to apply for naturalisation as a British C...
My wife currently has ILR (dated Oct 2009). I am a British citizen. We were married in October 2007 and my wife first came into the UK on a Fiancee Visa in June 2007. She has passed the ESOL exams and has been resident in the UK since June 2007. Can she apply for naturalisation from June 2010 (3 yea...
My wife has recently received her ILR as a Spouse of UK citizen. As this means she is no longer subject to immigration control does she now have the right to travel into EEA countries without having a Schengen visa?
My wife is here in the UK on a Spouse visa and she recently applied for and received a Schengen visa to go to France. Getting the appointment at the French Embassy in London took some time (3 months waiting for a spare slot!) but as soon as we received an appointment date we booked our tickets and h...
Stuart, I'm also very sorry to hear about your son's death. Certainly there are special allowances made for spouses who are widowed in the UK who are here on a spouse visa and not yet in receipt of ILR. It is possible for ILR to be granted under those circumstances even though the UK partner is dece...
At last!! Just managed to book an appointment at the Embassy of France in London for my wife to get a Schengen visa!! If anyone else is keen to get a Schengen visa for France, there are spare appointments NOW in the last week of May! No need to wait until 4pm today, they've had extra appointments on...
Directive/2004/38/EC, I presume you mean at the Emabssy of France in London? We can't get an appointment there and we've been trying to get one for the last 3 months without success.
We don't want to risk sending my wife's passport by post.
Thanks for all the replies and advice. It does appear that my wife, as a Ukraine citizen, will require a Schengen visa to travel to France or other EU countries in the Schengen zone:- According to 539/2001/EC (Information pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 539/2001 listing the third countries wh...
Can somebody please tell me if my wife, who's a Ukraine citizen here in the UK on a 2-year spouse visa, needs a Schengen Visa to visit France or other European countries within the Schengen zone for the purposes of a holiday? I am a British Citizen and we are resident in the UK.
My wife's son has lived in her custody in the Ukraine since her divorce. That was the decision made at the time of her divorce and was agreed upon by the father. He pays a nominal amount of maintenance each month and rarely visits the son, maybe once every 2 months, so has not been involved in bring...
Amanda & Vinny, thanks for your replies. My wife doesn't have ILR at present, Amanda, she's on a 2-year spouse visa, so I think paragraphs 301 & 302 apply, granting 24 months leave to remain. My understanding is that she could have applied for her son to have a visa at the same time she applied for ...
My wife (Ukrainian) and I (British citizen) living in England are trying to determine what visa we need in order to bring her 11 year old (Ukrainian) son, from a previous marriage, into the UK to settle with us. My wife is here on a 2-year spouse visa following our marriage in September 2007. Her so...
