applied on the 16/04/2019. I have requested an update on the 22/11/2019 but have not received any reply yet.

Yea same applied on 16/04. Refugee ILR, serving NHS all these years as a doctor. I hop we hear some good news SOON.

Thank you for clarifying. I used to wonder who is running thos forum. You guys are amazing and really helpful. Restriction as in some countries like Dubai will not accept refugee travel document. And i can imagine USA cause problem too. I think you can leave the feedback and ususally they enclose t...

Hi I really like what you suggested. There should be some refund for delaying applications. So im in same as many are - refugee ILR, working as a doctor in NHS. Applied naturlisation on 16/04, and its been more than 7 months still waiting. Dropped email after 6 months to chase,as all of us have don...

It is the typical administrative cruelty. The default excuse is the “service standard”. It is also so frustrating that those who should know better, especially on this forum, keep dishing out the same silly excuse with a dose of arrogance whenever. There can never be transparency in a system that i...

Hi everyone, I have been reading through the timeline and unforutnately i have similar experience. It will be 6 months next week and have not heard anything. My solicitor thinks not a good idea to contact them before 6 months as it will delay the process. I have refugee ILR and very clear history of...

What about germany? Do you beed visa on refugee blue convention travel document? I have a course to attend.
Thnx

I'd follow the rule I had in writing, so definitely not guy over the phone. Requirements change over time too. Some years ago, Czechia didn't need a visa, then they went and added the requirement. Thnx Springie. I am planning trip to France. I emailed them and they were very propmt with response. T...

... but most EU countries do allow visa free visit. Not quite right there, Zimba, sorry. I travelled to (or wanted to travel to) various EU countries while on a TD and it looked like this: Finland and Fermany didn't ask for a visa; France, Italy, Cyprus and Czechia wanted a visa. It varies A LOT an...

Thanks alot guys. You guys are very helpful. Time to pack bag and get going lol. Seriously appreciate all logical replies. Do we need visa on blue convention travel document to travel to europe? They have changed TD last year. Previously it used to stay which country you can travel( i been to spain,...

Like hermanthegerman, I too travelled multiple times. The only thing to take precautions about when you travel is if you are away for more than 2 weeks in a single trip. This is because it is possible for the Home Office to send you a letter and ask you to respond within 2 weeks. If you miss that l...

There are some timeline threads on the forum. Times vary widely, however the home office says they will let you know within 8 weeks if it will take them longer than that and most people appear to have a decision within 8 weeks or a little more. Even if they ask you for documents you are unlikely to...

Thank you alterhase and zimba for clarifying it. I thought the same but do not want to take any risk so thought to aak here. How long should i wait to see if UKV1 can contact me for morw documents? I had biometrics and documents scanned through new system on 02/05/019 in birmingham. Also, whats roug...

Hi All, Just joined few days ago but used to follow this website. I must say very useful forum. I have query about travel. I have applied naturlization after one year into ILR (was on 5 year refugee status). I have applied last month and got biometrics done on 2/05/19. I have blue convention travel ...
