What is your immigration history? I am assuming you joined your husband as a family reunion. You do not classify as a refugee as far as I know. Plus, once you have ILR, you are not dependent on your husband anymore now. You can apply for citizenship in your own right. Having your home country passport renewed will have no affect on your application.Anon132 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2020 9:58 pmHi,
I'm hoping to get some answers. I am looking to apply for citizenship next year after completing 1 year on ILR. My husband was granted 5 years definite leave to remain as a refugee before obtaining ILR.
I am wondering if renewing my passport will have a negative effect on my citizenship application in the future? I understand that refugees should not contact their home country's embassy or have anything to do with them, but does this apply to the wife of the refugee?
I do not intend on visiting my home country, however it's the only way to visit my family who currently reside in the UAE, and unfortunately the UAE does not accept travel documents, it would have to be a passport.
Please bear in mind that his BRP card states "REFUGEE settlement" but mine only states "settlement". Also in all previous paperwork, it states that I'm his dependant and he is my sponsor, but nothing to show that I'm a refugee myself.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
As far as I know, for someone on a family reunion does not have any restrictions to even go back to the home country or anywhere because you are not classified as a refugee.Anon132 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2020 11:26 pmI really appreciate your quick reply CULLINAN.
Yes, you're right, I was born and bred in the UAE, so applied for family reunion visa from there rather than my home country (Sudan), since then moved to the UK as my husband's dependent and recently obtained ILR earlier this year.
Many thanks again, I'm very grateful.
Cheers. Good luckAnon132 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 8:11 amThe links have been really helpful and basically answered all my questions. I've applied for the blue travel document along with my husband's travel document application to renew his.
The weird thing is he got his new travel document back pretty much straight away but I haven't heard anything from them yet since early March. It probably has to do with the pandemic situation as well as it being my first time applying for one. But the links you've sent me have put my mind at ease that I'm unlikely to be refused considering the rules they set out themselves.
You're a star. Thank you.
