Re: FLR (HRO) or other options - help please!!

I think the reason you've not had any replies is that you really need specific advice on your mother's case, with all the documents and facts available. I'd suggest going to an immigration solicitor.

Hi

I was wondering if some one could shed some light on what finances I would need to show regarding this application of ilr under the 10 year continuous residency. Does the £18600 apply for this application or not. Thank you.

No, it doesn't apply.

Re: Judicial Review-Private Life Route Unfair & Disproportionate

However, to those of you who assume that I have been living here illegally, and or have been working illegally and therefore not paid tax, I say you are completely WRONG.

Re: Naturalisation Refused help needed

You absolutely can bring a case for rejection of nationality via JR in the High Court! I've done it. Lots of times.

Most recently, a successful judicial review of a decision by the SSHD not to register a British National (OVerseas) as a British Citizen - judgment was given in January.

Re: Judicial Review-Private Life Route Unfair & Disproportionate

Discrimination under both the ECHR and the Equality Act 2010 is not straight forward in terms of immigration law.

Re: Unsuccessful application due to absence

The fact that the days of absence didn't cause an issue for ILR in a particular category is irrelevant for the purposes of naturalisation. The reconsideration process has no time limit. If it gets very long, the delay can be challenged by judicial review. You are nowhere near that length of delay, y...

Re: British Citizenship - Good character question

Declaring it is unlikely to have a serious effect.

Not declaring it could land you in a world of trouble for non-declaration.

Re: Naturalisation Refused help needed

Don't go straight to pre-action protocol / JR. You cannot bring a judicial review if you have an adequate alternative remedy. A right to reconsideration is a suitable alternative. So do that first. It is essential you provide clear details of when you were working (payroll, etc) considered against y...

I'm not entirely clear of the facts. See below. Your brother married in Pakistan, and his wife was a Pakistani Citizen who lives there. He is British and lives in the UK?

Re: Switching from 10 year partner route to ilr

Yes, it is. An application for ILR on the basis of long residence must show 10 years' continuous lawful residence. It doesn't matter what combination of student / work / family / S.3C leave status you had, so long as there are no breaks longer than 28 days (before Nov 2016) or 14 days (after Novembe...

There isn't a distinction any more for spouse / unmarried partner visa. They both come under "partner" visa and the visa itself doesn't say which catagory the person falls into.
