Have you had judgement yet ? And what was the outcome. I know someone who was stopped for driving on Indian license which was expired by few days. Hi SKasyap - No I am still awaiting to hear from the Magistrates court. nothing was sent to me yet by the court or police. BTW what happened with the pe...

Hi Lolo Many Thanks for your responses. These are helpful. Lesson learnt. I will be very careful. By the 3 year ILR window I meant - if the offences are within the 3 years before the date of ILR application then I will have to extend my skilled worker visa and if its not then I am eligible to apply...

Have you had judgement yet ? And what was the outcome. I know someone who was stopped for driving on Indian license which was expired by few days.

Thanks for the clarification above. I have submitted the OCI Application for myself and 3 other family members on 31st may and it’s being 2 weeks now haven’t received my original documents. I have seen in this thread the documents are returned in a weeks time. Anyone else experiencing delays in ori...

So what else I can do to ensure she is a British citizen then if passport is not enough proof for her citizenship ? There is nothing you can do. Unlike a person who is naturalised or registered as a British citizen (and who can therefore rely on a single piece of paper-the naturalisation or registr...

Keep calm and be aware that this is not just a UK position. Most Commonwealth countries, including India (see this Bombay High Court judgement from 2013) , also take the position that a passport is only prima facie evidence of citizenship and not definitive proof and that one can be asked to prove ...

Quick update: After sending a long email to HMPO, they have now acknowledged that first passport was not issued in error as we were not relying on WRS period to prove treaty rights hence why renewal application is now approved again. What a blunder from HMPO - FIRST PASSPORT ISSUED NO PROBLEM - RENE...

Many thanks for responding to my query, really appreciate that. A) Is HMPO correct that passport was actually issued in error even though we were relying on period Oct 2011- Oct 2016 to obtain British Passport as my daughter was born in October 2016. In addition WRS SCHEME was actually ended back i...

Hi All, I hope anyone can help and suggest next steps regarding current situation. My 4 years old daughter passport renewal has been put on hold as HMPO sent a letter out saying that they have issued the Passport in error and require my wife to provide WRS card. My wife who is an EEA national made t...

Hello, I'd like to apply for naturalisation. Many years ago, I obtained a Master's degree in Law in the UK (LLM, 12 months degree). Is this sufficient to exempt me from taking a test of knowledge of the English language? Could someone please advise? Thank you How long ago was it in numbers rather j...

i am on ILR at the moment and currently out of UK due to COVID since march 2020. I want to apply for British citizenship, but there is a requirement of 90 days out of uk, can't apply. Is there a way i can apply now for citizenship due to unavoidable circumstances of covid 19? Answer to your questio...

You will be absolutely fine with that so do not worry much. It clearly says Date of application, if known - so do your best and try giving as close to when you could have made the application. No they are not going to check stamp on your passport to verify the date. Question says 1) Name in which y...

Thank you for your reply :) yeah you are right, I came in 2005 not 2015. sorry for the typo. I got my ILR via 10 years route and in the citizenship forum, they have asked your applications history so I need to mentioned all of them. Will they not check my passport for visa stamps? I do not remember...

Did you mean tests or exams? They used to be 15 EXAMS but now are 16 EXAMS (not tests). The same website has tests and exams both. Unless you recommended some other website? I mean, I did the Test only and did not even touch the Exam bit. I guess most questions are the same regardless Test is right...

Hi guys, This forum helped me a lot when I was stuck to get ILR so hopefully I will get help again from you honest people. Now I am applying for British Citizenship. My visa history is I came to UK in 2015 on student visa and was on student visa until 2010 and then got PSW visa. Looks like you have...

Hope you paid/included a hard envelope now so its not crumbled again? Once they start to work on your case and have granted the replacement (by photo proof), they will sent you email including an address in Southport to return your certificate. We aren’t allowed to have two certificates at any time...

How long ago was it in numbers rather just many ?? I have used my master degree for English language requirement which was obtained in UK in the year 2010 and that did work. Master degree which you have obtained is for your lifetime and it does not expire so you should be ok but worth waiting for o...

I currently have ILR and am applying for naturalisation. I wanted to clarify what do we need to provide as support for "Proof of living in the UK for X for 5 years if applying in your own right or 3 years if applying as the spouse of a British Citizen"? If you are non eea then your passport. You sh...

I have, they got two weeks timescale to deliver documents so have to wait till Tuesday the 23rd of Fe...
