Re: Can I apply for Nationality Status for child after returning BRP?

Would you know if I can apply for a Nationality Status certificate for my child without my BRP ? I really don't think it's necessary, but I'm not a lawyer :) One would assume that the solicitor certified copy of the BRP would suffice. The fee for that certificate is £234, probability of paying is 1...

Re: Can I apply for Nationality Status for child after returning BRP?

Scan your BRP and/or get a certified copy from a solicitor (or post office ... cheaper) and scan that copy. This is precaution only and will get used (if all) decades from now. So best to scan everything. That above is done, if you're so worried about it then just don't return your BRP. The fine is ...

Re: Visit To Home Country After Naturalisation

In regards to citizenship, it's difficult to revoke once granted. However, they can revoke the citizenship if gained by deception, fraud, or not concealed information that would otherwise cause you not to get the British Citizenship in the first place. That being said, if the grant of IRL and then B...

Passport interview for 1st Adult Passport not required anymore?

I wonder if anyone has experienced this. My Mrs. applied for her passport after received her BC. To our surprise, the HMPO did not call for an interview and simply sent her the British Passport. It took less than a week too. I posted the application form on Thursday and we received the passport and ...

What happen to ILR when I become British Citizen?

After you get your BC but before getting your British Passport, what happen if you urgently need to travel?

Can you come back in using your ILR? Or is this technically illegal since you are a BC (just don't have the passport).

I would do another extension and only then apply for ILR. You don't have 330 days "delay of entering" you simply don't meet the 5 years requirement.

As far as measuring up is concerned I am sure they over-qualified? Aren't they "good catch" for UK? No? Then am I good enough catch? How about you? You can't objectively measure a "good catch". Like you, the government is also wondering what can be considered a good catch for the UK. Something that...

Yes other people can receive your BRP as long as they have your ID. No you can't change the delivery of the BRP and no it can't be collected either. Apparently since it's a secured delivery it has to be delivered to your home address. They won't deliver on Saturday as well! The only reason we got ou...

Your acquaintance who lived here for 6 years+ and received her residency that's fair game. She is working, paid her taxes (presumably), has been a law abiding residence (presumably) and a contributor to the society so what's wrong with that?

It's probably easier to extend your Tier 1 (G) one last time and apply when next year when the 300 days away from UK no longer in your 5 years qualifying period.

There's nothing stopping you to perpetually extend Tier 1 (G) if you want to.
