If your visa does not entitle you to claim benefits but you do then you both will not get ILR or naturalisation. Do not think it is a "could" but a sure "will not".

Re: Covid 19 - Life in the UK test Centre Closure

I am in the same boat, want to submit my application on 08-May-20; visa expiration in first week of June. Re-booked LIUK test for 17 April but highly doubt it will go ahead!

Re: Naturalisation Refused help needed

By admiting or claiming discretion was not applied means an admission that " oh I did not meet criteria an...

Spot on agree with everything, well done typing this up. We should probably sticky this thread :) What is your source that this exemption applies only to jus soli?

Re: Minor Child born in India can hold Dual Citizenship

Answer is no - that the dual citizen exemption is only given to countries that provide compulsory jus soli citizenship (birthright). For example, a child born to Indian parents on an H1B/L1 etc visa in the US is automatically a US citizen by birth. The parent can apply for Indian citizenship for th...

Re: Minor Child born in India can hold Dual Citizenship

Not according to Indian law (British law has no issues with the child holding dual citizenship). A child born with dual Indian/foreign citizenship can hold both citizenships till the age of 18 (provided they do not acquire a foreign passport), when s/he must decide which one they wish to retain.

Re: Cancel wife's british citizenship after divorce

Like others have said - let it go, vindictiveness will only make things sour or hateful for you.

I can understand exactly what you are going through but in a divorce it is just better to settle matters and go your own way instead of putting each other down.

Re: Cancel wife's british citizenship after divorce

If she got ILR through you then you could report your concerns. But it is unlikely they will take real action unless you have any substantial proof.... because to them you are the bitter ex who might want to take revege based on your doubts?
