Thanks Vijay

I haven't had much luck with finding out if the PBS results are goos enough proof for English language requirement.

I will will find out tomorrow when I submit my AN application at the NCS.

Cheers

Notears I used the PBS calculator just as I did when I was applying for the tier1 extension. Filled in the details of my degree and it gives me 10 points and have printed the PBS results that shows that for knowledge of English language I got 10 points. Hope this should be sufficient. Anyone have an...

Hi guys I will be submitting my citizenship application through NCS on 9th Jan. Im a non EEA national, was granted ILR in December 2012 after 5 years on tier1. Just thought I will will confirm the list of documents and one big question I have is around documents to prove earnings or in my case, im a...

Anyone else here applied with HSMP before Feb 2008 and got a degree certified with NARIC for a bachelor's degree but now the points calculator is not recognizing ? Points calculator is not accepting dates before feb 2008 and I reckon this is affecting the points calculator ? There was some time whe...

Thanks for your input.

I got my ILR in dec 2012 and my wife got hers in December 2012 too. We both were on separate Tier1 visas and got ILR on our own right and not as dependants. So while applying for Naturalisation in Jan 2014, can we make a joint application so that we pay lesser application fees? We have booked NCS ap...

You can do whatever you wish to do. I advise you to put Indian even if he has not registered with HCI.

Thanks jambo, after careful consideration I have decided to put him down as Indian

The search function of the forum is a great tool. Searching for ״present nationality" and also here (and you get an answer to 1.3 as a bonus). Thanks jambo, but I'm not completely convinced that my childs present nationality will be based upon my current nationality. This is true if we registered h...

Hi All Iam in the process of registering my son as British under section 3(1). I have following questions from MN1 form, please help!! Section 1.3 - Child has indefinite leave to enter/remain in the UK. Date granted My child was born in the UK and he was not included in our ILR application. In this ...

You are welcome. Good luck with your son application. Jaffar Well it's all incorrect. A child who has had an Indian Passport before is eligible strait for OCI on their own merits. OCI with parents if the child has never had an Indian Passport My son never had indian passport and that means he can o...

Many thanks mate...

Hi push/jaffar

Thanks again for your valuable inputs.

One last question, is our son eligible for oci(once we get our OCIs) since he never held an indian passport???

Regards

Thanks jaffar & push Can my son still get registered as indian child born abroad and then later I register him as british so that he could apply for OCI?? Or has he lost his entitlement to get registered as indian since we got our ILR??? I think getting OCI will be beneficial as it has no validity p...

Daydream... Congrats on the ILR for your wife. So you saying that all the absences taht your wife had were unpaid ? This is in line with what I had spoken to several experienced solicitors that it doesnt matter for Tier 1 as long as its less than 180. Also, were there any periods of unemployment in...

All Both myself and my wife have got our ILR's approved this week. We hold Indian passports currently. We have a 5 month old son born in the UK, who was not included in my or my wifes recent ILR application. We thought we can register him as british once we got our ILRs. Hence we haven't registered ...

Hi All Just wanted to share my experience, as I was successfully granted ILR today at Solihull PEO. Overall a very good experience at this PEO, as it is very compact and quite relaxed compared to Croydon. Appointment at 10 AM: I reached there by 9.15 and they handed me a token and asked me to wait u...

Further to it , can I skip answering the "first 6.3" question that relates to evidence for absence? Since I'm on tier1 and not having a compelling or compassionate reason for any of my absences.

All

Just realised that the latest set O form has duplicate 6.3 question.

On the grand scheme of things this is trivial but given we have so much confusion on the absence evidence, this error raises more questions than answers about this new rules and the way it is rushed in to force.

Cheers
