I don't actually have anyone to act as a countersignatory/confirm my identity, as I do not know anyone who is not very distant family relations who lives in the UK. That was gonna be one of my questions about the passport application process. You might know more people than you think. Mine was a ne...

I can see nothing in the rules that explicity requires that the children be currently resident in the UK for the application to be made and to be successful. Where I believe you will run into real issues is with getting the referees. They are more lax with children's applications, but this could be ...

Good Morning Recently, I have applied (super priority) for ‘Indefinite Leave to Remain’ after completing 5 years term in Tier-2 general category. Indefinite leave to remain was refused because of the form I submitted was Set(LR) instead of Set(O). I have provided all the required documents to meet ...

You seem to believe that you are privileged (common American misconception). Americans do not have any perception of privilege. We've fought for, and earned with a hard work ethic and dedication, EVERYTHING we have. And considering how many threads I've participated on in just the last year alone f...

Only those who reapply within 28 Days of the rejection are afforded Discretion . I don't believe this is true for citizenship. For ILR, yes. I would say the clue is in the title of the linked document. I think I'm getting confused. From my interpretation of their timeline, that 28 day discretion me...

Hey, i'm trying to request a copy of my mums 'Indefinite Leave to Remain' so i can grab myself a british passport. Problem is that i lost contact with her years ago, and the guys at Subject Requests require an authorization letter from her..so i'm basically stuck on what to do! I've made a few assu...

Can I apply her citizenship straight after my ILR? Or do I need to do something different?

Yes. She will be entitled to register as a British Citizen under section 1(3) on the day you receive your ILR.

Before submitting my application, I have phoned the Home Office to check if I have the correct residency documents as I was not sure about the both cards (Residency cards issued by Home Office - blue and yellow) would be enough. The lady on the phone said it would be enough if I have these cards. U...

...the applicant had made an ‘in-time’application, but the application was rejected and so they became in breach o this is provided there is no reason to doubt that the form was submitted in good faith and a fresh application was submitted within 28 days of the rejection...[/i]" This is the key poi...

A child born to parents who are Indian and British respectively, retains both citizenships and has to decide on turning 18 which to keep. There was an extended discussion on this, but I can't find the thread. I believe I was part of that discussion. Would you be able to use your mod search powers a...

Can my children apply for British citizenship from India whilst they live there or will they have to apply for Indian citizenship 2) since the mother is Indian and myself British will it affect them from getting British citizenship in future. Please advise. Keep note that if the children demonstrat...

I am wondering if there are any pitfalls that I should be aware of as I go forward with obtaining a UK passport. Put another way: Are there any disadvantages to dual citizenship? Disadvantages? None that I can tell. Obviously if you get into trouble in the UK, you can't expect to be able to run to ...

Agreed my eldest son did't go Pakistan, the reasons was very genuine my mother was very ill and later she died (I attached her death certificate). My wife mother was also died, her father is too old and healthwise very weak, so she went too to see last time. When people claim asylum, it is generall...

It does actually feel like doors are closed to me for being born foreign. You're on an immigration forum. The vast majority of us here are foreign born and yet have managed to navigate the rules successfully and legally. If you want to try and play that card with the UK government, especially in to...

Hello friends, I have the old-fashioned sticker vignette of ILR in my now expired passport, which means I can't work without transferring to a BRP which I believe we all know. I went to apply online and see they're asking for absences over 6 months, which instantly made me concerned because frankly...

I enter to the UK in 2008 illegally and I have been known to the home office in 2009 . Only my opinion, but I believe that only applies if you, shortly after entering the UK (within 3 months), applied for Asylum and it was eventually granted. If in between that period of entry and (successfully) cl...

Honestly, there is very little chance to none of this happening as a visit. And I'm not sure even the Fiance route is viable without the necessary support obligations being met. I'd have to look over the rules again (which have, in my defense, changed), but I thought the possibility of using benefit...

No as my first visa run out and still got few weeks before my biometric card come on post You may have difficulties boarding a flight with the child having no evidence that they can enter Tunisia. Even if they allow this, the child will need a visa to return to the United Kingdom before they attemp...

Document everything and give it a try. Just remember, that it's only a suggestion. But I think you've got as good a shot as anybody.

Could you post some links to those threads? The only cases I've heard of are of people caught at immigration control with their 'foreign' passport, but still trying to use the Indian passport to enter the country. This will incur a fine as well as confiscation of the Indian passport. But simply surr...

i understand but i am in a very desperate situation? Its amazing in this world you want to do the right thing and take care of your elderly parents who sacrificed everything for you but the rules dont want you to, absolutely shocking to be honest. If the UK had the infrastructure and resources for ...

what about letting the visa expire and then seeking asylum? Hate to sound preachy. But Please don't abuse the system. There are genuine asylum seekers whose lives are very much endangered when they are refused asylum. And those marginal situations are atleast partially influenced by abuse of the sy...

Because of these specific circumstances, I have a few questions I'd like to ask: Will it be a problem if my girlfriend brings no money with her? A massive problem, yes. Alone, this would likely be insurmountable. If due to language problems my girlfriend has trouble understanding the immigration of...

I had an absence during October - 13 & April -14 due to an injury which led me toward hospitalisation and ongoing treatment even here. I was away for a total of 197 days and since after never had any absence for more than 15/20 days in any consecutive period. So to be clear: 1. You had an injury wh...
