Thank you!

If he fulfills the following requirments, he can apply right after his ILR is approved: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/eligibility/naturalisation/spouseorcivilpartnerofcitizen/ thank you Backer, I read through them and yes he satisfies all of them, the only issue is whether he...

We need to know if my husband can apply for citizenship straight af...

thank you !!!

so just to confirm, 2 years counts from the day he entered the uk and not from the day he was issued the visa?
i am glad i posted as we were going for date of issue!!

Hi my husband was issued a 2 year spouse visa on the 09 July 2009, he didn't enter the UK until the 20th of August. The visa expires in October 2011 (27 months). 1- When is the earliest date he can apply for his ILR? Do we count 2 years from the issue date of the visa minus 28 days? 2- He passed his...

what should we do?
thank you

Just an update:
I recieved my passport yesterday (wednesday, 4 working days after the interview on friday), so all my worries were for nothing!
thank you for everyone who replied and helped

i think they do a credit check to get info about who lives in your address and your bank accounts etc..as these were not mentioned anywhere in the applications I had my passport interview today as well. They asked me virtually the same questions, so I guess that's standard: - spell your name - what'...

hi all, i went for my passport interview this morning, and only after the interview did i realise i gave the wrong town of birth for my dad! stupid stupid mistake on my part. i should have gone over all the information again that i put on the form before going for the interview. the guy didn't say ...

If I allow a month between IPS check & send passport application and travel, will it be sufficient to be able to travel using my original, ie non-British passport? From what I've seen here it doesn't normally take longer for the whole thing (British passport included) but perhaps someome has other ...

I would do as you suggest, that is, answer the Public Funds question "Yes", but you only tick the relevant benefits in your column.

thanks again John, I will do as you said
Swan

Given that you have ILR, there is no problem with the benefit claims you mention. They will have no effect upon your husband's ILR application, nor upon any application for Naturalisation. thank you so much for your quick reply John. should we tick the relevant boxes on the SET(M) form to specify w...

Hi I am an ILR holder and soon to be naturalised, my husband has a 2 years spouse dependent visa and is due to apply for ILR in a year time. We are having a baby this summer. we both work full time. I was wondering if I could apply for the health in pregnancy grant (190 pounds one off payment), chil...

Thanks again for the reply, I guess you understand why i got confused at teh first place, it just seems weird that they want to know about my husband's past!

Thank you so much for the reply, I also saw the guide and that's what confused me more, if what you are saying is right (which is what I thought before too), what is the difference between question 1.41 and 1.43 then ? thank you Whoops, I think you're right... Questions 1.38, 1.39, 1.40, 1.41, and ...
