Re: Naturalisation application - planning ahead - no surname on Indian passport

Hello Bobcat, I saw your naturalisation application got approved in the timelines thread and I just wanted to ask about the language requirement as I have the same path as you (tier 2 then ILR).

I am a non-EU migrant, I came to the UK on a Tier 2 (Skilled) worker visa in August 2014 . I was granted ...

Re: Tourist visa rejected twice for valid and fair reasons. Advice on next steps?

Thank you both for your responses. I agree with Ticktack on being super careful and clearly demonstrating strong financials next time and providing the usual documents that other people in a similar situation provide to support number 2 then end up getting a visa. I don't believe he's desperate to ...

Tourist visa rejected twice for valid and fair reasons. Advice on next steps?

Hello forum members, My brother got his tourist visa rejected yesterday and in hindsight and after taking a detailed look at the documents he submitted the reasons provided by the casework make sense.
