Please help me with some of these Naturalisation questions

1. Convictions and other penalties I had my first speeding fine last year (driving 24mph on 20mph zone). I paid promptly and it did not go to court. I have a CCJ 15 years ago for a gym membership and I forgot to cancel while I was out of the country. I settled it as soon as I was aware of it. Do I ...

Re: Please help clarify some questions on my ILR application

The rules set both the criteria as well as the required documents. That does not mean that to meet every criteria you will be needing to provide a document. You are only asked to provide the required evidence. The caseworkers will look at both the required documents you provided as well as other ...

Re: Please help clarify some questions on my ILR application

Correct. The dependants are subject to separate rules Hi Zimba, Could you please elaborate if any rules that we might need to be aware of, from my immigration history/documents. My husband and child (under 16) moved to the UK with me when I was on my PhD, before I got the Work Permit visa, and have ...

Re: Please help clarify some questions on my ILR application

@AmazonianX: The problem with declaring "when did you first enter the UK" as the start of my PhD is I have to declare all the periods of absence during my PhD, which includes a whole year maternity leave. So my total declared absence would be way too high, even though the absence while I have Work ...

None of those questions are important at all. Stop overthinking. Just provide an answer as they have no influence over your application
Sorry I can't afford to make a mistake. I'm applying with 2 dependants, it will be costing us nearly 8k. We simply cant afford to not to it right.

Re: Please help clarify some questions on my ILR application

@Ticktack Thank you for your reply! 1. During my PhD, I did came back to my home country for a year for maternity leave. I still hold student visa during this period. So do you think the date I entered the UK to start my PhD is still most relevant, and not the date I came back from maternity leave ...

Re: ILR 5 year route or 10 year route and financial requirement?

Hi @ywlgy, thanks for your reply. My work document is quite straight forward, so if there's no big risk I will try to apply 5 years route as it is a few months earlier. My partner and daughter will also be applying the same time as me for ILR, is there no financial requirement (if not income, but ...
