Re: ILR BRP impounded at Heathrow two and a half years after naturalisation

But, anyway, not all British passports allow for freedom of movement within the EU. What do you mean by that? British passports issued in the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands to British citizens who have no connection with the UK have an observation as follows: The holder is not entitled to bene...

Re: EEA with residente card stopped at airport UK when returning from trip

@LJM17 good luck with your application and hope you get it sort it out soon. Thank you Zapzap. I decided to reapply for PR as I believe the period of my self-employment should arguably be considered genuine and effective as I have worked an average of over 10 hours a week and the work was both long...

Re: ILR BRP impounded at Heathrow two and a half years after naturalisation

Also, remember that as CoE-RoA does not indicate your British citizenship, it does not allow for freedom of movement within the EU. To the best of my knowledge, there is no alternative to a British passport for travel within in the EU. But I could be wrong on this point. But, anyway, not all Britis...

Re: ILR BRP impounded at Heathrow two and a half years after naturalisation

Not entirely true. There are some (a very small number, but they do exist) non-British Commonwealth citizens who have Right of Abode in the UK due to having been resident in the UK before 1983. We know that the OP is not one of them, but I'm just pointing out that RoA does not definitely prove that...

 Thanks for reply. When and how do you get your documents back. Do they come separately ?
Documents are sent separately to the approval letter.
Probably there isn't a single rule for that. I received letter and documents together.

No offence but the "why" is my business and I'm pretty sure on my reasons! It's the "what" that is important for this forum - a need to be able to travel abroad with my non-UK passport without being forced to carry my British passport at the same time. You are right in saying that it is none of our...

In my opinion, and I should say I'm not an expert, she should submit her application in December and include a cover letter explaining how the decision in Lounes would apparently cover her situation. Otherwise, if she gets a refusal, the case should have to be taken to the courts for them to decide ...

If you use the online form at https://www.gov.uk/apply-renew-passport it will only ask for the relevant questions to your case. Anyway, just answer "I don't know" when you don't know the answer.
