Apply for MN1 through NCS at the council. You will get to keep all your original documents and you can apply for citizenship and passport jointly at the same time.

Re: Husband on ILR, wife still on Tier 2 (G) Spouse

Child benefits must be claimed in your name only. Tax credits must be claimed in JOINT names with your spouse. My children are still on Tier 2 (General) Dependant visa. If I claim child benefits, will this not impact negatively their ILR/citizenship applications? My wife is still on Tier 2 (General...

Re: Husband on ILR, wife still on Tier 2 (G) Spouse

thank you Was your kid born in UK ? Yes, one of them was born in the UK when we were still on Tier 2 (General) before the ILR. The other one was born outside the UK. The one born in the UK is eligible to register as British Citizen https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/application-to-register-...

Re: Employment gap>90 days in UK

I had my P45 which showed the last day at the previous employer. They counted from that day. Better strategy would have been not to present the P45s unless they asked for it.

I had a look at the Immigration Rules and got the following extract: 245AAA(b): the applicant must ha...

My last Tier 2 (G) Change of Employer application was made on 8 May 2015 (i.e. after 22 Apr 2015) and first Tier 2 ...

Re: Employment gap>90 days in UK

Hi guys, just wanted to provide an update on my case. I called Home Office 3 times about this question. Once the advisor said, without any hesitation, the gap of more than 60 days while changing employers is not an issue because my leave was not curtailed and I was in the UK. Other 2 advisors had to...
