And how is able to pay for a roof over his head, food, clothing, NHS bills etc if he has no legal status in the UK? 1) Im not sure if you read t...

Also, he has been to his GP many times over the past few years, and has spoke with a psychiatrist as well and has been referred for CBT and group therapy. many times over the last few years? He was only with his EEA citizen wife in the UK for 7 months and then she left the UK! Yes, unfortunetly his...

Hi Simon,

Can you clarify what his options are?

From what your saying it looks like Retained rights are out of the question even though there was DV.

What are his options now? You mentioned ILR could you please point me in the right direction so that I may advise him?

Did he get a legal divorce from his German wife before she left the UK? The divorce proceedings were not completed as she left the UK before it could be finalised. Retained Rights of Residence only apply when there is a legal divorce and other specific conditions are met. If his German spouse has l...

What happens to your old passport when you get your British passport?

I had a Pakistani passport which I sent to the hmpo, and I have recieved my British passport but just wanted to know will they send my old passport back?

I submitted my biometrics and paperwork on Saturday but when I log into the site it shows everything I have uploaded but nothing says submitted.

Is there any confirmation or will it stay like this?

Thanks for all the replies you are a lifesaver. I will just try my luck with a cover letter.

Thanks for your replies. I have just spoke with the courts and they have advised I can appeal to the crown court.

What happens if you have an appeal pending in relation to the citizenship application?

Hi Cullinan,

Many thanks for your advice.

Would it be worth appealing the conviction now, I’m willing to hire a solicitor.

Yes, the matter was taken to court.

Ouch. Is it still worth sending a covering letter? Not much to lose at this point I imagine.

Good afternoon, I have applied for citizenship online but was a bit confused about speeding tickets as the form is not clear if you should mention these. After reading this forum I understand that I should have. I received a speeding ticket and filled in my details and sent it back, I never received...

Even if my partner is a British citizen?

The general immigration route. The one that was available before settled/pre-settled.

ILR" has been used in the context of two different and separate immigration routes: One route is for EU citizens and their family members (called Settled Status); and the other is the general UK immigraiton route for any other nationality (not known by any other name than simply ILR). I meant indefi...

The reason I keep asking about ilr is because it can be decided fairly quickly if I pay for the fast track, and I would just like to get it over with ASAP.

Hi Vinny,

I did not know they could refuse the application as well.

Is there a precedent for this or is the refusal something that does not happen to everyone?

If money was not an option is better to go for the ilr or settled status? I am a surrender singh applicant so will need to fill out a paper form, am I eligible for ilr? I understand that I can apply for citizenship straight if I get The settled status, but will I be able to apply straight away if I ...

Yes, but I didnt have to show the card. I had my EEA family permit that was on a4 vignette and that is all they looked at.

Hi Everyone, I have been granted Pre-settled status under SS rules. (I had to fill out a paper form) This month will mark my 5 years in the UK, and I would now like to apply for settled status.

Immigration at the ferry crossing did a once over on the a4 vigente, but no questions were asked of me.
