Hi, I applied for MN1 for my daughter, 6, last week by nationality checking service. I just received a letter by post today saying that she needs to get her biometric enrolment done within 15 working days. I was not aware of this when I made the application. Unfortunately she went overseas for schoo...

Hi, My daughter was born outside the UK in Feb 2011 and has been living in the UK since July 2011. In 2013, my daughter and I were granted ILR, and in 2014 I received British Citizenship but I didn't apply for BC for my daughter at the time. I am planning to apply for BC for her soon and I think it'...

He can stay in UK if the new company who has taken over is ready to sponsor him under TUPE arrangements. Otherwise, his leave will be curtailed and he has to go back to his home country. Hi moonlight55, I should've made it clearer in my original posting. It's not the UK company that's been taken ov...

Thank you for your reply.

So I guess that means having to work for another UK company that can issue T2 ICT? I don't think he will consider that. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi, I have a colleague who is in the UK from an overseas branch as an expat with T2 ICT (since Aug 2013), working in the UK headoffice. The overseas branch was recently sold off and the HR dept has told him that he now has to go back to his home country. He wants to localise and become a UK employee...

Hi, I've found the answers to what docs to send in. However I still have one remaining question. The requirement for countersignatory is that he/she is able to identify the child. Does that mean he/she has to have met the child? If I get someone in the UK to act as the witness for the application, o...

Hi, I am a naturalised British citizen and my wife is South Korean (with ILR). Our son was born in South Korea last week. I am currently in Korea with my wife but I will be travelling back to the UK soon (alone). I will return to Korea in June/July to travel back to the UK all together. I understand...

Hi all,

Three more questions then.

1. Can she apply for T2G without leaving the UK?
2. If not, does the 1 year cooling off period also apply for switching from PBS dependant to T2 General?
3. Can he (the current T2ICT holder) switch to PBS dependant within the UK?

Thanks.

Hi I have a colleague who arrived in the UK in Aug 2013 with T2 ICT, along with his wife and children on T2 ICT dependant visa. I understand his T2 ICT cannot be extended beyond 5 years, and to switch to T2G, he must leave the UK and apply after 1 year cooling period. However is the below scenario p...

Yes, you will be eligible to apply after 5 years on Tier 2 and it's best to apply before Apr 2016 as the rules will get tougher (£35K minimum salary rate). This is not 100% correct, is it? From 6 Apr 2010, the stay with T2 ICT does not count towards ILR. If Pramod's visa was issued after the rule c...

I think I finally realised what my misunderstanding was. If the child is born outside the UK to a British parent (or parents), the child is automatically "British by descent", and there is no way to give him/her "British otherwise than by descent" status. Is that right? I was hoping to give my child...

Hi Amber, Vinny, Thanks for your reply. I have additional questions. When you say either a British passport or CoE, I presume you mean 1. Either claim British citizenship by descent while in Korea and get British passport at the British Embassy in South Korea 2. or get Korean passport only and then ...

Hi, I am recently naturalised British. My wife has a South Korean passport and has had ILR for past 18 months. She does not want to get BC because then she will have to give up her Korean passport, so she will just stay on ILR. (South Korea normally does not allow dual citizenship) She is pregnant a...

Hi, I have a colleague who was issued T2 ICT long term visa in May 2013 for two years. My understanding of his situation is that 1. As his visa was issued after Apr 2010, he can only stay in the UK for the maximum of 5 years and those years will not count towards ILR. 2. As his visa was issued after...

Hi all, As I wrote last time, I got my approval letter on Thursday (19/Jun) after applying on 1/May. I called the council the next day and booked my citizenship ceremony for this Thu (26th). Strange no one else has gotten the approval letter for past few days. Hope letters start flowing in soon. ps....

It looks like I am the first person on this board to receive the approval letter for a May application. I came home tonight to find the letter from Home Office. I know many of you have been waiting for the first May application approval so this should come as great news. Eligibility criteria: WP for...
