This is what I got from my southwark Council Thank you for your email. For the moment, we sadly do not know when the Government and the General Register Office will allow us to reconvene citizenship ceremonies. In the mean time, we have to follow the guidelines and avoid non-essential face to face ...

Hi, really glad I found this forum as I THINK I've submitted unsuitable referees: - For me: Office manager + Brand Manager - For my husband: Store manager + Project manager - For our 5-year-old: Office manager + Brand Manager We were told that, especially for our child, these are not suitable (stil...

Hello, I am applying for my child MN1 application as born in the UK from EU parents and one of them, myself, has ILR (settled status approved).

Hi. My wife's visa expiring in August first week , I heard visa automatically extending, How to let them know that it's expiring, do we get any letter regarding that? If your wife's visa is expiring in August, then you need to renew it or submit the ILR application, as I can see from your previous ...

I was about to make a post on this topic, but on searching the forum I realised someone already did 2 months ago. So no need to start a new one, I can just add my opinion here. I must say that it was interesting reading this thread with the arguments for and against the increase. • Everyone should p...

UKVCAS service centres will not start opening for appointment from 1st June. I guess not appointments will be available in the first couple of weeks of reopening as they will still be maintaining social distance as they reopen.

And I want to add that you will have to pay tax to the HMRC on that your "hefty pay". This is because you will need to remain a UK resident while working abroad, if you intend to apply for citizenship 6 months later. So if you decide to take the job, you might need to notify HMRC. Avoiding to pay yo...

Hi All, Can someone please provide some guidance? Did your sponsor inform the UKVI after each TUPE. As someone under immigration control TUPE is not enough.

Thank you for your response. I understand it would not be automatic. However, do you think I can try to extend via contacting UKBA? Any such situations that you are aware of ? Cause the application fee was not cheap anyway, do not want to spend the money in re-applying again . If you are going to c...

Thank you for your reply. I forgot to mention that the extra shift (bank shift) have different pay slip because we are being paid by the same employer weekly for that.
