You don't say if the residence permit is a permanent one or not. The two are similar - watch out for the word "permanent" or search the forum for the exact wording. If the document is not PR, then the easiest option will be to apply for settled status (which is fairly quick and free), but then your ...

There is a very specific issue with tax return amendments - where the person appears to have exaggerated income to meet immigration rules and later amend to reduce income to pay less tax. Anything else should not be a problem as advised.

The poster in this topic does NOT have their BRP anymore, they sent it back to HO. This was not mentioned in the thread. I suggest you update here if it was a private conversation. There is no 'fine' from the UK for using an 'invalid document', where on earth have you heard this!! You are right. I ...

the British citizens are NOT subject to immigration control and they must travel with a COE sticker in their passport or a British passport Can you point to a reference for this? I believe you can travel on any passport. Other countries have requirements like this, but not the UK. For example, Brit...

Your spouse needs to work for this.

Where do you read the "work" part? It's all about income, which can be 0.

Travel days don't count. So, if by 3 days you mean leaving on Monday, coming back on Thursday, that's two days. If you didn't count them this way before, you may be in luck. As for discretion, you will need to look at last year as well - 90 days at most. If you meet this, it will be easier to ask fo...

Old passports are sent separately and much later than the newly issued one as a matter of prioritization. The helpline was a bit clueless and contradictory. Best bet to trace the passport is https://delivery.tnt.com/tracking and use your application number. It should show two deliveries - for Britis...

If 1300 pounds are no concern, no worries, but you can apply with much much less risk in April if you don't travel any more till then...

You got your answer many times over. Repeating the same question again and again might you give the "right" one, but this probably won't help you in the long term. People here express opinions based on experiences, not legal ones. Search for applying for first passport from abroad to see the problem...

I agree with previous comment that you should get a tax adviser (not the forum for that). Many moons ago you had to inform HMRC very soon after becoming self-employed (declaring tax is separate). So, why delay anyway - inform now to have a consistent record. Also employed or self-employed is not a c...

I don't think anybody cares about the title. As long asyou are entitled (make sure to check university rules), then no problem. But you can't have Dr in the passport unless you are a medical doctor. As for the frowning I never understood why a physician calls themselves a doctor without a Doctorate ...

There are 3 separate view points: rules (law says this section is discretionary), interpretation and practicality. Rules and instructions say you have to declare intent of living in the UK at that point in time and HO should believe you unless they have reasons not to. Given you've applied already, ...

This may help on EU travel: https://ec.europa.eu/info/live-work-travel-eu/health/coronavirus-response/travel-and-transportation-during-coronavirus-pandemic/travel-and-eu-during-pandemic_en Although annoyingly airlines or border control may not be aware of the subtleties. I suggest you speak to passp...

Why are you in a hurry to have UK passport (seriously)? I believe as a non-visa passport holder airlines will let you board and then present yourself as British at the border. I'll let others confirm this is easy. Visa passport holders have a problem with this. Also third country visa requirements f...

1. Whatever is the truth. 2. This is a question for HMRC - check their website and if you have questions, call them. Generally if you paid enough tax, you don't have to , but there are some circumstances you still should. Being a director means you are also an employee on PAYEE. If you had dividends...

I read this as the passport you last entered the UK, NOT first (different from naturalisation application question).

As horrible as hostile environment is and it is nonsense even for British opposed to identity cards, the law is not on your side. By the sound of it, the case worker didn't consider all evidence as they didn't have to and just said the application won't succeed before Jan 2020. If this is correct, t...

Where does Surinder Sigh come in when you are a EU citizen? If you were married to someone exercising treaty rights, you shouldn't have needed CSI.

Birth certificate showing parent names will prove parental responsibility, in English or original with translation. And a consent letter from the mother is the easiest. If it's a UK birth certificate, send the long one as the short one doesn't have parents' names as I recall. It's a shame the proces...

A bit academic... Permanent Residence can be backdated as it is acquired automatically. So you can probably apply immediately after you get the document. However, the process is cumbersome, it will likely take a few months and you are asking for trouble to apply for naturalisation several months ear...

It is not clear from your post what you mean by discrepancies. If you declared the 30k profit until the time of application but made the losses after that, the issue is tax year ended after the application. I think you have a defence if the losses/expenses have a clear date after the application, th...

Usually you don't have to prove every single day or even month. So there might be not questions asked at all. How much time abroad do you have in total? Would that and the 5 months come under 480 days, maybe a little more. If they do (it's tight, I know), then you are likely OK. Equally how long ago...

Let's put a positive spin on this. Yes, the case is special. There was a plan, booked a ceremony for 15th April because of the council availability and convenience. There was a global emergency so you couldn't attend ceremony (or ceremony gets cancelled anyway). This is all special and looks good. T...

In short I think it's no concern and no worry. I believe the OP was a job seeker at the time. I was under the impression 3 months is absolutely fine. This link mentions 6 but also registration https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/residence/residence-rights/jobseekers/index_en.htm Regulation varied ...

I assume they say "self assessment statement". Login to hmrc.gov.uk and print a statement of the current year showing you are registered as self-employed and don't owe any tax. If you haven't registered yet, you'd better do that and be careful with the dates. If you have income, you were probably se...
