Am educated with a professional job so am shocked to read others who've been here just 5 yrs (with exception of spouse applicants) are getting decisions in a month . Is anyone else still waiting after 5 months? Thanks ARE YOU NOT UNDERMINNING PEOPLE IN THO...

Why are you worried about stamps on entry/exit? As long as you can remember correct dates that should be fine just mention them on Absences section of ILR Set (0) form. You need to make sure there are no gaps between your visas. You need SAR if you beleive application was submited on time but there...

no indication of that on the homeoffice website/other places. why ask?

Just to know what will happen?

Will people in longresidence be affected after July 2011?

You can not generalise, because mine came within 5 day and did not need to attend interview. Firstly this is not a generalisation, everyone who applys for thier first passport must have a interview. Secondly it states clearly in the application pack for a passport you need to send the application a...

Now with Naturalisation cert. in hand I'm now required to fill in an application form for a passport and interview. So you send off the application and wait a further six weeks f...

There is very very very very long thread about the naturalisation and so far all have been approved. Are there anybody who have been refused apart from the obvious reason such as applying before the qualifying period or having criminal record. Share experience if you wish.

Ok. Will this affect my application for naturalisation by any chance?

My answer is no. You have reported the existence of the business to HMRC, and UKBA can check to see that you have done that.

Accordingly, no problem at all.

Many thanks John for your valuable input.

As you became self employed in Feb with less than 2 months left in the last completed tax year, providing your self assessment would not be probative in that your employer has paid PAYE and you paid NIC previously. If you provide your p60's for the last 5 years and a statement acknowledging the fac...

Should I mention this or keeping quite is wisdom? I think you should give them a ring about this, and indeed do so no later than 5th October. That way you are totally covered. You have drawn their attention to the source of income, and then if HMRC still don't issue you with a Self Assessment tax r...

Have HMRC sent you a Self Assessment tax return form for the tax year to 05.04.08? You need to complete that, and include .... and it can only be an estimate .... an amount of profit for the accounting period, and to pay tax on the proportion from 08.02.08 to 05.04.08 ... and any such apportioned a...

I think you should write a letter explaining that. Also, after you informed HMRC of the existence of the business, within three months of its start, if you got back a response from HMRC you could enclose that. Also appreciate that the declaration you will sign, at 6.1, includes the following words ...
