10yrs rule- Some of the members mentioning about abolition of 10yrs rule. there is no mention of that in any of the changes that are expected to come in the next few yrs.

(He's a neighbour - not really a friend - but he seemed desperate, and he knew that I had taken on the 'MIGHT' of the HO...and won :) Some very comprehensive replies - which I have passed on to him.

Yes, I agree with that statement from the other site, tobiashomer, but it's a matter of scope. If an ILR holder (old system) were to apply for naturalisation under the new rules, s/he would probably have to meet the new requirements with regards to volunteering or having a good criminal record. In ...

Hi Peeps,

I`m still ticked off by the fact that I had to fork out an extra £ 80 to have a private ceremony :twisted: :twisted: ...I`m glad its all behind me now.

The UK has a large 'hostile population' which has its eyes set on (mostly but not exclusively) Western targets both within the UK and elsewhere. As UK nationals are not required to obtain visas before visiting the US, the only way to minimise this threat would be to have a system of screening indivi...

Complete 5 years under HSMP??

I have to say I have every sympathy for the poor UK wife, who is subjected to this. She probably converted to Islam, and think this behavior is allowed. It most certainly isnt.

No they won`t (I`m speaking from experience..recently travelled abroad after the ceremony on my Indian passport and did not have any pro...
