What happens if the countersignatory uses corrective fluid on ONE single character on the form? Will IPS reject the entire form because of that? :roll: It looks like IPS does not mind when a SINGLE character in the countersignatory section has been painted over with correction fluid. :? I received ...

Coming from a self-confessed overstayer, what right do you have to pass judgement on who should or should not be in the country ? http://www.immigrationboards.com./viewtopic.php?t=32014 Please familiarize yourself with the board rules - particularly the bit about attacking other members. This is a ...

Europeans who mostly worship an Arabian Jesus?

Siggi - you're wrong. You cannot limit the number of EEA nationals entering the UK. That's the whole point of the EU. Freedom of movement between member states. Instead I would have limited all those ppl from India, Africa and any other third world countries starting from 1962. Now we are suffering...

Is there a way to check on the progress of the application online? I have found this- http://www.ips.gov.uk/passport/application-tracker.asp I was told at the Post Office that I could track it but I assumed it was something that worked automatically(like the way we track our online purchases etc), r...

No it was an actual real form. I don't live near the countersignatory.

Hi whirly, CONGRATULATIONS! :P I have yet to apply as I am waiting for someone to sign as a referee and return my forms to me. It could take a while. I live out in the sticks so I only had my citizenship ceremony a few days ago. I am NOT on the electoral roll. Do we get into trouble with IPS for no...

Hey, macaroni! Have you applied for your passport yet? I had my interview on Monday and just got my passport today! The interview was sooo easy and quick. The questions were the ones we were expecting: - State your full name and spell it. - Address - Date of birth - Birth place - Are you on the ele...

I think that you may be thinking too much! I think that the US government does keep record of who enters the lottery, but I don't see why that should matter. If you were going to be an illegal alien in the USA, I don't think you would bother with a lottery.

Thanks to all you guys at UKBA for all your hard work and commitment to the cause.

That is a very funny post!

In case the point of my post was missed...in response to the OP's original question...for various reasons (whatever they may be), as Republique has rightly said, you could be questioned at any time when entering the UK, even if your visa is valid and your conscience is squeaky clean. Special Branch...

I try to give an informative and helpful answer based on my years of experience unlike some who just want to spread their own prejudice. I appreciate you trying to put forward an explanation, but honestly, I have found UK Immigration officials at LHR to be extremely rude most of the time. Some of t...

It's difficult without knowing the facts of the case. As a non-visa national her 6 months leave to enter expired as soon as she left and she needed to seek entry again. I assume the IO didn't find any evidence that she was working or had given up her job/accommodation at home. You could always enga...

At first glance, I can't see any reason why that should be a problem.

Still waiting for my invitation letter nearly 2 weeks now and havent received any thing When I phoned the office in Liverpool they give me a date to phone again if I still didn’t receive the letter. anyone can share his experience about the invitation letter I saw people receive their invitation ...

Take a screenshot of the consular page, so that even if the page is changed or edited, you can still show what you read before you travelled. http://www.take-a-screenshot.org/ http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/screenshot.xml Good luck with taking this matter further, I think that it's good idea to...

I've picked up a form and it's quite hard to read with it's small fonts, pale orange-brown print against a pale orange-brown background. :roll: I only know the names of two of my grandparents. Of them I know only one full birthdate. I have no idea what the details of my other set of grandparents ar...
