The requirement to wait for one year after acquiring ILR/PR/Settled Status applies to all applicants not married to a British citizen, irrespective of how many years they may have already resided in the UK. It even applies to people who get ILR on the 10 year Long residence pathway. Thank you! A bi...

Unfortunately yes. If you are following the EU Settled Status route to BC then you have to wait 12 months to apply for citizenship. Thank you! Yes, you have to wait 1 year. But nothing stopped you from applying and getting the Settled status last year. So you would have been in position to apply fo...

Hello everyone. I would like to apply for UK citizenship but I am still confused. I am a Croatian citizen. Here is my timeline: 2010 arrived to the UK under Tier 1 (issued for 2 years period) 2012 I have applied and extended my Tier 1 visa for the next 3 years 2013 Croatia becomes an EU member so I ...

Hello I am a Croatian Citizen living in the UK since 2010. My country joined EU 1/7/13. As I was in the UK 12+ months on that date I am exempt from the transition period. I was wondering: 1. Would it be good to apply now for a Blue Registration Certificate or not? 2. If one day I will apply for a Br...

OMG

Croatia is part of the EU.

She is an EU citizen.

She can move here and work as self employed and that is it.

Or why dont you just get married?

I dont understand why do you complicate somethig as easy as this?

Do I have to do anything? Can I keep my Tier1 status or i have to apply for a blue registration certificate? What about my dependant (partner). Does my partner need to apply for anything or he can also keep his status as Tier1 dependant? Will I need after 5 years apply for IRL to be able to get the ...

You maybe should put this question under "EEA-route Applications".

But i think it shouldnt be a problem.

Story goes like this: Croatian living in the UK from 2010 on Tier1 Croatia joins EU 1/7/2013 So I will go trough EU channel at the border (no landing cards) So I will be able to apply for British citizenship after 5 years of living here. I have a limited company (registered in the UK) working mostly...

Thnak you very much for clearing it up

Great. Thank you.

But i dont get this 6 years? UKBA site says 5?

Thank you for your answer.

Just to double check. For example if i want to apply for British citizenship after 5 years will they count those 5 years as:

3 years Tier 1
2 years EU/EEA route

?

Thanks

It is typical for UKBA not to publish the information on time. There is only 4 months before Croatia joins EU and UKBA said nothing what will happen with the people from Croatia legally living in the UK. I am Tier1 visa holder. I know only that they will put restrictions on Croatian workers and that...

1. Go back to Croatia 2. Buy return ticket Zagreb - Dubin - Zagreb 3. Book hotel like you gonna stay in Dublin for that time (so you dont have problem with Ireland immigration) 4. Take the train to Belfast 5. Fly to London 6. And you will be here This is just my idea ... Probably it is also not lega...

Hello I hold Tier1 visa that states no access to public funds. I was thinking of paying Income Insurance but they request that i have to be eligible to job seekers allowance to be eligible to be insured. I went to UKBA site and they say that NI based funds are not public funds (job seeker's allowanc...

I received my BRP and there was an error on it. I sent email on that BRP error email address and they told me that I have to send my passport and BRP at address in Bristol. I did it and paid recorded next day delivery and I went to the track & trace and this is the message I received from Post Offic...

I have received my BRP but there was an error in my name. I have sent BRP and passport by post as it is stated in the guidance for cases like this. Does anyone know how long it takes to get passport back? And how long it takes to get the new BRP? I know it states 10 working days. But every time when...

My Tier 1 extension has been approved. I used PEO service and i received approval letter. Then i had to sign paper for BRP and it stated my LAST name first and my FIRST name second: SURNAME NAME. I asked the case worker is that a problem she said that it is not a problem as it only says: Name Line 1...

I know they say delivery time is 5-10 working days but from PEO experience post I see that almost everyone received their BRP in 2 working days. It has been 6 working days and I sill haven't got it.

Should I worry?

For the money we pay we should get slippers and bathrob whole we are waiting when applying in person. Alos to get jacuzzi and Spammy Spammer. There is no country in the world that charges 2000 pounds for visa extension. For similar visa in Italy for first application and any further extension you pa...

Except proof of founds I don’t see any other document that I need for the dependant?

My dependent is my Civil Partner?

What kind of documents will I need for him except proof of founds ??

Anyone?

Experience from before?

Please help!

Now I see that all my bank statements do not show my fool name but just initial of my first name and full surname.

Example instead of:

JOHN SMITH

My statements have:

J SMITH

Is this going to be a problem????

Anyone?

IS there any number to call in Croydon office to check??

I would like to pay PEO by bankars draft.

I am just wondering do they wait draft to clear and delay decision proces or do they just take the draft and start the decision process?

Just to share my experience ...

Recieved after exactly 4 months!
