Thanks thirdwave for the link. It makes sense now!

thanks Golden_bird ooopsss!!! Golben_bird- probably they are busy at this time of the year or may be there is a rush of applicants due to recent news about citizenship changes.
Finger crossed, it will be done soon and glad to know that I am not alone!!

Should I call HO or wait a few more weeks? I applied for naturalisation through Wandsworth NCS on the 17th March 08. But haven't heard anything yet and the money hasn't been taken out of my credit card yet. Should I worry or wait and what would be the first point of contact , Wandsworth NCS or HO? T...

Most people who were born British and have lived in the UK all their lives would have difficulty in passing that test, Sammy that is the biggest load of rubbish I have ever heard. Where on earth did you pick up your this information? UK life life could be completed by a 10 year old English speaker,...

It's irrelevant what the requirements are at other Schengen embassies. If they are going to Spain, they have to get their Schengen visa from the Spanish embassy. No no.. they are going to Lanzarote, so they might have to go to Lanzorate(tic) Embassy :idea: :idea: In the application form put Spain a...

It's gonna get worse. Guess which races are gonna suffer under these proposals? Yep, blacks and Asians. The borders act gave immigration goons a lot of power to stop search and detain suspected illegals. You can guess the rest, it is just like the sus laws in the 70s and their operation in predomin...

It is the same exam but if you tell them correctly Home office will know what you are applying for as the details of the results can be accessed by the home office directly.

does your spouse have to be at the peo with you or can i go alone I went alone twice and it was not a problem at all. I got my FLR and ILR both without my wife with me. I felt that they need documentary evidence and if it all goes ok there shouldn't be any problem. I think PEO staff are just doing ...

I am not intending to hijack your post but thought to share my experiences with PEO at Croydon today. I applied today in person on the basis of marriage. Got in around 9:30, x-rayed, documents checked, sent upstairs, paid the fees. My number called about 20 mins. Spend a long time to sort documents ...

Whoever is applying from Hyderabad VFS, India need to be very careful about their application submission... Those people are only there to take your applications and not for anything... they dont check the evidences.. they dont check the application is filled correctly, at last they dont even know ...

Just wondering, for the "person of professional standing" part of the referee, would a school headteacher in the UK be eligible to sign the form?
Any ideas?

paulp,
Now you have confused me ever more!

Say someone went away one night a week every week for 2 years.
How many days was the person away for in the past 2 years? is it still 0, instead of (52 x 2) 104 days????

Hi, My ILR is due in Oct 2008 on the basis of 2 yr marriage visa. As i have read on ILR application form that 20 documents are required from 5 different resources on both my and my wife's name with address or either of our names. Does it mean that i have to provide 100 documents in total 20 x 5 = 1...

Never actually thought of this - as to whether to count the day you left as absent or not. On entering whether to count the day you enter or not. The straight forward method might be to exclude the day you left and you enter... meaning that you were in the country on the day you left and similarly w...

I am not sure if 4 x 5 = 20 If you see this calculation it shows that actually 4=5 16-36=25-45 16-36+(9/2)^2=25-45+(9/2)^2 16-36+(9/2)^2=[4-(9/2)]^2 25-45+(9/2)^2=[5-(9/2)]^2 [4-(9/2)]^2=[5-(9/2)]^2 4-(9/2)=5-(9/2) 4=5 So it could be either (4x4) =16 documents or (5x5)=25 documents Therefore you mig...

Edit --- decided to remove my post-

Thanks

If nothingelse work, one personal suggestion would be to speak to ECO about all in detail and why your husband has mentioned about being married in the earlier visa application and make a formal apology. Never know, that might get you somewhere. Or if you can spend some time in Nepal with him and ap...

Hi Countrylass, I do not see that it is difficult to prove one is not married before. Your husband will have to go to his 'district/ward' from where he has acquired his Nepali citizenship and get a letter confirming that he was never married before, or if he was married then to show that it was diss...
