She is in IT (as Lead Data Architect). What should she choose? Or is she acceptable as a reference? Thanks. What part of my answer did you not understand? Ask her if she’s a “member of a professional body” Ask her if she’s considered an “engineer”. IT engineers do exist who are also qualified profe...

What do you mean by smart? Did you do the same for the entry date as well? They’ll check anyways and figure it out. You are probably not the first person who over thought to write the dates that way. I don’t think you need to do anything. Hardly a reason for them to refuse you. For ur peace of mind:...

Ask the referee to choose from the list.
May likely be an engineer or member of a professional body.

Bro i am telling you the facts. its up to u whether accept it or not. Nobody physically stopping u to apply naturlisation. Apply and see what happens. Did u read good character guidance? I can't give u the answer which pleased u. 😂 your observation is hilarious! Bro! You can’t state something as a ...

But when they give u discretionary leave then u have to wait until 10 years before u apply for naturlisation from the date u have given discretionary leave. Could you please back this with a reference? Point towards a guidance or immigration law as It’d be very helpful to such applicants. Read the ...

Do you have any proof or you know any case where an asylum seeker (refugee)was granted citizenship aftet 1yr of refugee ILR even he was illegal &wotking illegally,overstayed previous visa &granted BC???[/highlight] Sorry? Why should i have proof or know of any case in such a context.. 🤷🏻‍♀️Id highl...

As per my understanding of immigration laws you become an overstayer once refused and you exhaust all appeals.. unless you apply within 14 days for a fresh application.. exception for overstayers 39B. The nationality guidance states: However, if the application was refused and the appeal dismissed, ...

Well then you sound like an overstayer till ur DLR was granted. I don’t think you get any advantage as asylum seekers do. Perhaps you are better off applying 10 years from the time ur DLR was granted. Or you can take the chance of applying, if you get refused, you can argue at reconsideration the fa...

After my first application refused I went to Immigration Tribunal at Manchester, then Upper Court and lastly Court of Appeal (all refused) no fresh application applied but got DLR after 2 months. Its beyond my comprehension as I don’t know how the system works.. I’m not clear as to what ur status w...

Hi All, I recently switched from Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa to Tier 2 sponsored visa. My time spent on T1E is from 05th November 2013 until 16th August 2019 (5 years , 9 months). And, now I have spent over 1 month on Tier 2 visa and I have got my 1st pay slip under Tier 2 visa. Also, I have initiated...

I came to UK with family on 12 July 2008 at Manchester with valid visitor visa for six months, I was claim asylum after 3 months on 14 Oct 2008 at Liverpool Water Street Home Office. After one year my application of asylum refused, I appealed in court and refused, then higher Court of Appeal and wa...

In my case UKVCAS only scanned the pertinent pages. I even asked why the blank pages weren’t scanned to be told not required.

Under mandatory documents should suffice and no, you don’t need to scan blank pages

Hello Everyone, I am applying for citizenship application in next few days. I have got the ILR via 5 years entrepreneur route. My extension application for ILR was refused back in January, 2016. Admin review was refused and then a fresh application was approved. My question is do I have to mention ...

Yes.. but ur friend didn’t claim asylum on the airport. He did, however, claim asylum during the time he had a valid visa.

I think ur friend falls in the first category.
Wait for someone experienced to confirm.
Sorry abt this.

1.Applicants who claimed asylum during a period of leave to enter or remain in the UK were not in breach of the immigration laws during consideration of their asylum claim and any in-time appeals. However, if the application was refused and the appeal dismissed, they will normally have been given 28...

Asylum seekers have it easy. Any previous overstay is disregarded.
Besides it’s been over 10 years and it doesn’t even matter now.
Read the guidance on nationality by discretion it covers the area..

Thanks CR001 Do you know how I can request a refund for the money paid please ? Applicants under section 6(1) of the 1981 act are also required to have been free of immigration time restrictions for the remainder of this period. There is however discretion to waive this requirement. Discretion to d...

It is up to those who know better to interject and correct with up to date information isn't that how this forum works since none of us are qualified legal experts? There is a wealth of information on the forum and it’s easy to mix things up. Moderators do interject when they feel something is inco...

Thanks guys but i didnt still understand clearly If you are married to a British Citizen, you may immediately apply for citizenship once you receive settled status/ILR. You must physically present 3years prior to date of ur naturalisation application, you must not have more than 270days of absences...

Following up on CR001 .. Got visa till May 2021 His dependent is completing her 5 years dependent in February 2020. How is the dependants visa shorter than main applicant? Main applicant has already completed his 5 years on Tier 1 in June 2019 but he is planning to apply under 10 YEARS LONG RESIDEN...
