Hello I am sorry for that. It's a stressful time indeed. Unfortunately, no one is immune from being made redundant. But when you are on a Tier 2 visa, it will affect your right to live in the UK. When you leave your employer, the HR will notify the Home Office. The Home Office will send you a curtai...

Hi All, I’m struggling a bit with the referees for my wife’s application, I have 1 who is a teacher which is fine but I’m struggling with the second one as most of the people I know with professions that are on the list are in some way or another related to me. Does any one know how they define rel...

You tell him the truth. You are British but your passport is not ready at the moment. Show the certificate. He will check on his computer and let you go.

Hello You can't do anything really. A divorce was pronounced. The wife was allowed to stay in the UK because she demonstrated that she was abused by her husband. Now, she has a residence that is totally independent from her husband. She has the right to marry. I understand that from the social point...

Hello As Brazilians don't need a visa to enter the UK, you can go to your trip and return on your Brazilian passport. If you fear any question at the border, take a copy of your citizenship certificate. Actually, the fact that you are British doesn't prohibit you from using any other citizenship you...

Hello Yes his permanent residence is still valid after Jan 31st. You didn't leave long time ago (less than 2 years) so the permanent residency is not affected at this point. When you come back to the UK, get him to apply for the Settlement Scheme. He will get Settled normally. If he doesn't do anyth...

Hello If you have no leave in the UK (= if you are illegal in the UK), you can't apply for a Tier 4 visa. Switching to Tier 4 within the UK is possible only if you hold a visa such as a Tier 2. https://www.gov.uk/tier-4-general-visa/switch-to-this-visa If you don't have any residence/visa in the UK ...

Hello

There were right. She needs a visa unless she has card written on it "Family Member of a Union Citizen"



The cards issued in the Settlement Scheme don't bear these words and don't allow visa free travel to Europe.

Go there and get it sorted face-to-face if you can.

There is no point calling the councils for the ceremony, they never pick-up the phone and I don't think they return emails neither.

On face-to-face they are usually nice and helpful but often understaffed to take care of the phone.

I am not 100% sure for kids, someone else in this forum might know better, but I don't believe you can apply for citizenship if you doesn't have an indefinite leave. You see what I mean? I think the ILR step is not something you can avoid. When eligible, go and apply for it.

I had the same issue when I moved to the UK. I spoke with my manager at work. He called his bank, Lloyds TSB at the time, he went with me and they opened an account. He was a client with them. Also, a week later, I managed to open an account with HSBC. I just told them I am new to the UK and they re...

do we need to submit the original birth certificate or will the attested copy be enough?

I never heard about any country in the world that accepts a copy, certified or otherwise, of a birth certificate. Birth Certificates must always be originals.

Hello It takes a few months usually. No one can be more accurate than that. It depends on many factors and there is no specific SLA or target from the Home Office. These Lounes are not frequent neither to get a clear baseline. There have been a few in this forum and usually within a few months, they...

Hello The simple answer is: yes. If someone has an Article 10 EEA card with the right to work, that involves the right to work taken broadly. Either working for a salary as a contractor, permanent... or opening his own business. Indeed, he can do that only in Spain . European residence for non-EEA n...

Hello The application has to be true at the date you sign it and submit it. Citizenship applications may take months to be processed. During this time, plenty of details you entered may change: like you address, marital status (by marriage, divorce, death...), you travel history... As long as the de...

You are welcome :) It's not an exact science. It's about maximising the odds in your favour. I have seen people with 10 years at the same job, excellent travel history... but declined a visitor visa just like that. There is always a risk of refusal when you apply for a visitor visa no mater what. Th...

Hello This is a huge responsibility you are taking. Especially if once here she turns up the kind of person who doesn't listen or accept authority. If she resides in the UK at 14, she must go to school. Missing school in this county is not an option as the carer can be find or dragged to court for t...

I was looking for similar information for a friend of mine: https://france-visas.gouv.fr/en_US/web/france-visas/long-stay-visa France seems to have a Long Stay Visa that lasts from 90 day to 1 year with a limit of no more than 90 days stay within 180 days. Sometimes they call it "Visa Type D". I hav...

Hello I don't recommend you apply for a visa for him at the moment. Young, no job, is a red flag and the risk of refusal is very high. If he is refused, next time he applies again, his application will be seen unfavourably even if the Home Office claims that each application is evaluated under its o...

She managed to return to the UK without any problem.

The Home Office is very slow to act. Unless her photo was in the front page of national newspapers, I don't think they would do anything about her. They would at one point, but it will take time.
