Thanks for the clarification - best to apply 2 June - I always recommend not to apply on the first date available, take your time and get the application right.
Correct. Dear respected sir, I need one more advise. I have had my DLR on 01 Jun 2012 and 10 years will be on 01 Jun 2022. Can I do BC application on 1st Jun or 2nd Jun?? Thanks Not sure what the reference to 10 years is - you have ILR? I am not familiar with DLR and why there's a 10 year wait for ...
Question1: Do you think these are sufficient? Note for residency your council tax bills are sufficient, plus your 2022 P60 Question 2: when I moved in 2013 it took me 4 months to find a job and I din't apply to job seeker benefits and I didn't had an insurance. Should I add this into my application...
Any information that is asked for is mandatory, unless marked "optional" or "if known" .... However, you are allowed to enter estimated dates (mm/yy) and all the information you have or remember, i.e. Company names and addresses (at the time of employment or current), where you know them. There's no...
You have ILR so you can stay as long as you like.
The BRP card is evidence of your status - it is not a visa. If card is expired your ILR is still valid, but an expired card won't be accepted for Right to Work/Rent/Boarding a plane to the UK/etc.
"If your BRP has less than 3 months validity you may want to replace it now if you need to prove your right to work or rent or you are travelling outside the UK." It's a recommendation. The issue is not whether you'll have difficulties entering the UK - it's whether you'll be allowed to board the r...
Can't really see why this should be an issue. Return shows an amount to be paid, whether it should be a different amount is between you and HMRC. It doesn't mean you have defaulted. By all means write an explanatory note, in simple terms, but a caseworker won't be reconciling between the return and ...
has an NI number? Note that NI numbers are never deleted (or re-issued to someone else) as far as I know. And it would be no help at all. Options: - Fiance visa, she comes to the UK to get married and then leaves and you apply for a spouse visa for her, if you can satisfy the financial requirements...
Re 2) Naturalisation does not require a consent form from spouse or anyone else - you apply as an individual in your own right.
Re 4) There is no consent required.
1. Can I apply naturalisation now or it is better to wait? If I wait I have to wait for another year as I will be crossing 90 days on 1 year. What is your total absences for the past 5 years? Clearly if the past 12 months is an issue then it might be worth applying now. As you are already on ILR fo...
I'd be more worried about being safe in Afghanistan .... note there would be no British consular support if you face issues from the government there, as you count as an Afghan citizen when in your country of origin. A British passport in itself is no protection.
Thank you Ronnix for your reply. The only reason I raised this question is because I am not contributing anything towards NI. Nothing to do with citizenship - native Brits don't loose their citizenship even if they have been unemployed for years ... citizenship is not like a visa or immigration sta...
Another thought, did the grandfather ever apply to the then West German government for compensation, for loss of property/money confiscated/imprisonment/discrimination by the regime/etc? There must be some paperwork still in existence if that's the case.
Not aware this was done here although not surprised they have the capability. Did they give an explanation as to why finger prints were required? Was that at the check point or were you taken to their backroom? Were you questioned about specific topics? What did they tell you after you gave the prin...
No - ILR is under immigration regulations, naturalisation under the nationality act with separate requirements. ILR would not be revoked in that case, unless it was proven to be obtained fraudulently.
The date of notification email.
I would always leave it a few days more, no need to rush and potentially make mistakes in the application.
Please keep all posts in one thread.
Don't think this is an issue - Permanen Residence/ILR is by it's nature permanent (with some conditions). The dates on the card relate to the validity of the card.
Thank you. And I have another question; do I have to pay my taxes before submitting the documents if the deadline is in January? No - there are no financial requirements for the application, income/taxes/NI/benefits/profits/losses. Unless you are not paying what you are obliged to, then "Good Chara...
Hi, I am completing my online citizenship application form. There is a section "Trips outside the UK". The first question is "When did you first arrive in the UK?". Before I came to the UK on Tier 2 (General) Visa, I also came to the UK on a visit visa 1.5 months before I cam to the UK on Tier 2 (G...
Can't really comment in detail on this. But, do you know where grandfather was born in Germany? If you have the place and date of birth you could try and contact the local authority responsible for the area today. Their "Standesamt" is normally where this would have been registered, or it maybe a ch...
There's a non-resident status for tax purposes : https://www.gov.uk/tax-foreign-income/residence But not a status that is stamped into your passport, not something you apply for. It doesn't matter to the government where you live, here or abroad, except where taxation is concerned. My understanding,...
