Hi all, Got confused with the rules: Is a British citizen/settled person required to have held £16k or over in savings for longer than 6 months prior to his/her spouse's application to entry clearance to UK, irrespective of the individuals' income? Or does the (British settled person) sponsor's inco...

They did the same to me, received the acknowledgement text 7 days later. For my wife I will use a courier service which can answer me if I ask where the hell my application is. Post Office customer service is acting like a scammer company who throws the ball to other park and claim they are not the ...
I sent my application on Tuesday the 29th of October via check and send. Still no text message of acknowledgement, nor HMPO was able to find and confirm that they have received such application when I asked by email and phone.

But how do we explain that most spouse of BC and EEA applications take longer in average(or used to be so)? And this hard fact is based on what source exactly? There are close to 200,000 naturalisation applications a year. Just because a few applications reported on this forum took longer than othe...
How come home office has started to grant quick approvals to applicants from categories EEA, spouse, ancestry which were taking months to conclude until September 2013? Curious that applicants from Tier 1, Tier 2, HSMP which were formerly considered as straightforward hence quickly approved are not ...
Hi, NCS officer has not allowed me (literally) put any additional documents stating passports have no gaps between the expiration date of the old and issue date of the new one hence they are already sufficiently demonstrating my lawful residence in UK for more than five years. In fact I had brought ...

Excuse me but wasn't this post supposed to be discussions and chat AFTER the application? Why all new members are just flooding here with questions when those inquiries should be in the main page of BC subforum so they can receive multiple answers and this post left to be used for what it was purpos...
Friends, As you probably heard there is an incoming Postal Strike expected to commence early to mid October and planned to last until Christmas. We will be having many October, September, August and even the applications that been sent earlier waiting in HO Liverpool office until then. Does anyone k...
If you are a British Citizen by birth and prove it then your son should be born British. I am not sure about the path to follow when you are out of UK but in UK you simply apply for the passport for the boy.
What I remember reading in the forums before is it is still valid as a card when it's read in the machines of Border Control however since you have become a BC your card does not mean much anymore.
Home Office does not require you to send it back to them for some reasons.
It might be debatable since in the guidelines I remember reading about discretion of the HO officer for granting an approval which is not fully complying with the residence requirement on the basis of you have set a life here having your property and family with kids raising up in UK bla bla but nev...

Hi all! Today I made my application via NCS and had a peculiar experience. NCS Officer refused to put the supporting documents into the application envelope (not harshly but with a nice smile and jokes) .. He stated that my passports are present and showing my lawful residence for 6 years, no crimin...
What I have read in the guidelines that the person with proffessional standing is not expected to be British, not even a commonwealth citizen. However in the practice everyone here (including myself) have been looking for a British referee to fill this prof. requirement for some reasons. Maybe we sh...
