Thanks a lot for sharing your experience Sue. What documents do they usually ask for as proof, before accepting you as such. I did the finishing bit of my Primary School in the UK, the whole of my Secondary and started tertiary education, before coming over. Will that be enough proof that i have liv...

You qualify to apply now, provided you have passed the life in the UK test.

You clock start ticking from August 2003, when you got married to EEA national.

OP, you will need that for the entire period you are claiming she was Self-Sufficient. If they haven't asked for it, don't bother sending a prospective one, as that would then draw their attention to asking you for evidence of Private health insurance covering the time she was self sufficient. Some ...

(non) EU family members of Dutch citizens as described in the ‘Notes’ section You must submit the following additional documents and documentary evidence together with your application: – A copy of your residence document issued by another Member State or Switzerland, showing evidence of your...

It ask for proof of Lawful Resident in the member state from which they came, for the Non-EEA Family Member of a Dutch Citizen. That one i am sure about.

The one i am having doubts about, is the proof of Lawful resident from resident provider, and sponsor.

Agreed, but a community worker, cannot avail themselves of free Health Care. Nevertheless, it is not Prerequisite for the issuance of a Resident Card or a Resident Certificate. I have been looking at the Dutch Application , for Verification under community Law, which is the equivalent of EU 1 in Ire...

Dutch residents are required to have Medical Insurance under Dutch law, save for few categories of temporary residents and visitors. As Dutch citizens are required to have it, community worker will be too, as the notion of a National Health service does not exist in the Netherlands. The only way a r...

Yes, they usually request private medical insurance, NHS card will not suffice for that purpose. Was your wife working, before the pregnancy and child birth, as this might exempt her. I have written before to UKBA, out of interest, stating the fact the the employment of the non-EU family member, sho...

Good on you. Sometimes the lack of knowledge of UKBA staff can be quite shocking. It is abysmally low indeed.

The question is, had you husband married to the French national for 3 years before they divorced, and has he proof the French national was exercising treaty rights in the UK in the period, immediately leading to the initiation of the divorce. If he meets the above requirements, he will be able to re...

The first sentence is not wrong, although i probably should have phrased it better, by saying " Children born overseas to parents who are citizens by descent, will eventually be able to gain British Citizenship otherwise than by descent, once the 3 years residency requirement in the UK has been met,...

...

Interviews will not be conducted for children under 16. You have to make sure you get the right photograph requirements, no fingerprint or interview is required for the biometric purpose. You would also need to fill in form C2 for her passport application and send the passport application, together ...

Children born overseas to people with British Citizenship by descent , will have British Citizenship otherwise than by descent. They will not automatically gain citizenship, they will have to be resident in a British territory for a period of 3 years, and then they will be registered as British, and...

What i think it means is, we humans are fallible, and liable to make mistakes, and non of us can say, consciously or subconsciously that we have not broken the law in one way or the other. Even the politicians who made them, sometimes break them as in the case of the MP expenses that overshadowed th...

As Vinny rightly stated, the passport application has been centralized, and now processed in the states. The only question is, whether or not you will be required to have the 2 UK referees, or the Canadian equivalent will suffice.

I guys, i wonder if anyone has been through this process, of determining Home fees eligibility with a tertiary education institution. I have been getting conflicting information about entitlement of EUFAM holders, to non-overseas fees. Some people say, they have to pay international fee, others say ...

If you child's father was born in the UK, as you mentioned on this thread, then he is not British by descent, he is British otherwise than by descent.

Except, of course, you were unsure then, and now, information contrary to the one you provided about his birth place has come to light.

Perhaps it is time to put the matter to rest and move on?.....8) Agreed. Posts like this always tend to incite discord among members of the forum,on an unimaginable scale. However, as individuals, we have a responsibility to try and have a healthy debate without any bad blood, and at the same time ...

Meats if you read this OFSTED 2007/2008 report on page 7 of the first PDF file, you would realise that attainment at school and performance is directly proportional to the Socio-Economic background of the child and how privilege their community is. I can understand people being upset for loosing the...

Hi - I know of an individual who was working illegally earlier this year, before leaving the country. He plans to come back and resume his activities. I have some documents of his (fake passport, work letters, bank letters) that would seem to implicate him in an offence against immigration law. Wha...

Have a look at some of the people who drop out of school, a lot of them are from an immigrant background. Have you any proof to back this statement up. I know people from disadvantage background are highly likely, but there is not statistic that indicates, immigrant children are more likely than th...

If the OP is applying for ILR based on 10 years lawful resident, then Life in the UK test is required. If she falls into the category of HSMP migrant before 7th November, 2006, and applying under HSMP JR after 4 lawful years of resident in the UK, then she will be exempted. As things stands, she wou...

The fact remains that Churchills was a British elected official, and not a dictator, and his victory in the 50s election, is an indication of widespread support for his policies, which includes the empire. Wanderer, i don't blame you for thinking African and Asian didn't contribute to World War two,...

I have not become the King’s First Minister in order to preside over the liquidation of the British Empire. Source: Speech in London, November 10, 1942 I think Winston Churchill was certainly elected by the British People. If he wasn't serving their interest, they could have got rid of him. It wa...
