If a partner has achieved ILR status based on spousal relationship and financial backing, does anything change thereafter for the migrant if they decide to separate from his/her spouse, as they would now no longer meet the pre-ILR financial requirements? Or is it the case of once you achieve ILR, th...
Great, thanks. I assume this letter will still require a long old trip down to Whitehall then? Any ideas whether it can be facilitated by post, given there’s no fingerprinting or formal form-filling to be done? You need to go in person I am afraid as they will expect to see your original naturalisa...

AS you say, as a SA national, she could always apply for a SA passport in the future through the fact she is a permanent resident. Not quite correct.

Hi, thanks for the confirmation of that. My wife has Indefinite Leave to Remain as of last October, so technically (I think), she could apply for Citizenship soon, but we're not in a particular rush and would rather get her SA passport sorted first. We're not comfortable having no passport if she ne...
So…my SA wife’s passport is expired, and we’re looking at getting it “renewed”. I understand the term “renewal”, is no longer really applicable, and expired passports now require a complete re-application. I think (!), I’ve got all the necessary forms and requirements listed as below, but I’m having...
