ABC2014, Get his citizenship before rules change. It opens up a larger playground of opportunities. He can pick and choose whereever he wants to work and if he plans to travel the world it will be an advantage to have both. Many gates will open up. Last but not least ILR is valid only for as long as...

ban.s, I would have preffered to go over and collect in person and be done with it. Rather than risk my passport by post and sit and pray that either the HCI or the Royal Mail do not goof up. I am booked to fly out of the country and am hoping that such a nightmare does not happen. Else I will land ...
Forbc123, On the website their collection procedure has changed from 13th January 2014. My Status got updated on 13th to show they have got the document back from Delhi. I had no option but to send it by post on 14th next day 1pm delivery with a return self addressed envelop and a printout of the st...
Yes you should inform them of the change in circumstances, lest they get a chance to give you big time heartache.
Send a mail here with your details ukbanationalityenquiries@ukba.gsi.gov.uk
RPM, When you say 2 adults and 1 child, I presume it is for you , your spouse and child? Then 1 SD envelope is fine. If you are applying for 2 wifes and 1 child then 2 SD envelopes (Better safe than sorry) :D Even if they live in the same address you never know when the World Strong Women Contest wi...
Declare it and apply and you should be fine.
This is a civil matter not a criminal one.
The impact is directly on your credit rating.
The fact that you are attempting to repay via instalments is a plus for your integrity.
Non-Disclosure will prove to be a serious ground for refusal.

Continuity means your physical presence in UK. Yes it will. ''This is a wicked idea for the jobsworths in Home office to pick up i.e to treat holidays as break in continuity!! ''.

That is correct. While the total absences is well below the discretionary limit, in the last year you have more than exceeded double the 90 days limit. If you plan to be here you can as well wait and apply. However if you need your passport urgently and wish to test their discretion, you will need t...
AndyGandhi, There is no distinction between personal absences and Official absences as such. However in exercising discretion they will consider that absences were due to nature of the job/service and its a plus if you were in crown service or on behalf of a British company abroad. You say when you ...
Did you get ILR or a sticker called ILE (I live in England)
You Can Apply after 1 year from Oct 2013 i.e Oct 2014.
Remember not to exceed 90 days outside UK in this period.

Shahid2000, The purpose of this section in Form AN is to decide whether you are already naturalised by descent without your knowing it. Many people may not be aware of the date of birth or date of marriage of their parents which would have taken place in remote villages where there was no formal sys...

I agree!! My status shows the blooming thing has been despatched from Delhi on 10th January 2014. I was planning to go there on Monday or Tuesday and get the damn thing over with. This postal thing is worrying. Damn it all if the Passport is misplaced or lost in transit, it can cause lot of heartach...
Sincerest apologies. The krish in your nick gave me the wrong impression that you were male. You dont have to be on a job as far as you have met the requirements.
Once you get your ILR the damocles sword of financial targets will vanish altogether.
Good Luck.

GUIDE AN says... 2.1 Enter the day you first arrived with a view to staying in the UK on a long-term basis, and the airport or seaport through which you then entered. If this is less than 5 years before the date on which we receive the application, or less than 3 years before this date if you are ma...
