See CBTM10211 - European Law: UK family benefits - Article 67 of Regulation (EC) 883/2004 (click). Thanks. From this I gather that if I apply I have to proof that I am contributing to the child's upkeep. Do you think we would have a better chance if my wife was to put the application in her name? T...

Hello, I am a British Citizen and my wife is an EEA Citizen. Both of us have lived and worked in the UK without a break for nearly 7 years. My wife flew to Poland to deliver our baby there on 22/10/13. She has an S2 so it's all paid for by the NHS and she also gets her maternity pay from the UK. My ...

So can I apply for BC on 1 August 2014? Im not an expert and only sharing my own experience but take a look at the thread below (especially the 3rd post) you can see what one of the gurus of this forum thinks. According to that you should wait till January 2015. http://www.immigrationboards.com/vie...

You will need to submit your WRS as well. If you had registered within the first month of working then you count 6 years from the day you started working but if you had registered late then you count from the date of your WRS certificate. If you go down that road then you are applying as if you neve...

I'm Polish and therefore subject to WRS scheme. I am applying for citizenship now. I started my employment on 17/11/07 and applied for WRS withing 30 days but the certificate date is 15/1/08. The question is- does the 5 year qualifying period start from when I started my employment or from the date...

I would suggest that look after your health and your child's health and good upbringing etc. Let your child decide when they grow up about what they want to do about their children. That's exactly what I want to do. I will let him choose but in order for him to even have a choice he will need some ...

Hello, I have a related question. I was naturalised as a British Citizen on 9th Oct 2013. My wife gave birth to our son outside the UK on 22nd Oct 2013. I understand that he automatically became British by descent. My wife and the baby will come back to the UK in January 2014. We are thinking about ...

It was the same with my letter and i got approved with no problems. All docs were sent back. Don't worry about it.

Oh I c. Tomorrow I will call them again and if possible book it privately before 24th October, no matter how much it is. I received the approval letter last week but I have not received yet the invitation letter, Do I need this for the ceremony? Council adviser has booked me in already for ceremony...

when I booked the ceremony today I was not asked to pay anything by the adviser. She has already sent me the ceremony citizenship details by email. So how and when did you pay for it? I am a bit worried now. The fee for a public ceremony is included in the nearly £900 you pay to UKBA. Im talking ab...

Sokrates 99 if I was you, I'd ring them again and perhaps this time someone else will answer the phone. Just tell them your application for BC has been successful and give the letter reference number and they will check and if they have your details already, they should be able to book you the cere...

she has given me the ceremony date for November. By then the new koll requirement will come into effect. very unfortunate! Do you know how much they charge for private ceremonies? In Cambridge they ask £110. The price varies but it might be worth it if you are trying to avoid the new rules for your...

The council adviser said that the wording in the approval letter is WRONG and that we should first call the council to book the ceremony Hi, it didn't work for me in Cambridge. They refused to check if they had already received my certificate, told me to wait for the second letter from home office ...

i have an urgent travel Urgent travel? They can take upto 20 days to return your documents. You can request them via their website. I did that and I received them with an approval letter in a couple of days but that might just be a coincidence or maybe they wanted to save on stamps and decided to s...
