Re: I am in Afghanistan and my family left

Hello, Sorry for that :( When you are 18+, you become an adult and you lose any immigration option through dependency. Who is the British citizen? Your brother? Having a British citizen brother doesn't open any immigration route for you. That's why probably you didn't get any response really. But yo...

Re: Visitor Visa Help for my parents

Hello, This is a vicious circle where there was a less than ideal immigration history in the past but even if the conditions of the person changed, that stigma remained. Reading your post, I understand you already applied for a visitor visa and it was refused. Is that correct? If this is the case, f...

Re: Impending points on my licence while application in home office

Hello

You don't report anything.

Your application was true at the moment you submitted it. You don't update the Home Office about your driving records after the application.

Re: Citizenship application, no response in 15 months, what do I do next?

Hello Were you born as an UE citizen? Or do you have any special immigration situation in the EU prior to your EU naturalisation? I have seen cases slow like that but typically the applicant was an asylum seeker from a country that raised a flag somewhere. That was indeed prior to the EU naturalisat...

Re: Requirement for Comprehensive Sick Insurance

If you didn't use the NHS during your time in the UK, you can mention it as a kind of mitigating factor. At the moment, you have to play with the cards you have in hand.

Good luck!

Just being genuinely curious. Can someone request for a police record (including arrest or not) to be deleted in the UK? Is such a thing possible?

If she puts money on her account to makes it look good, she will be declined on that basis.

Your sponsor is EEA so it's straightforward most of the time. For non-EEA, it will take a few weeks/months to get the letter.

Re: Your Visa Application: VAF xxxxxx - Additional Documents Required (what should I write in subject line)

Just respond and don't change the subject line. Just hit "reply", attach the documents they request and write a couple of lines with that. But never change the subject as it contains a case number that automatically assign it to your case.

Re: CSI - when is it needed

Hello

You explain only if they ask you about it and your mileage varies. They can accept your explanation but they can as well reject it.

You need to show that you didn't have any immigration rules breach during the last 10 years. Sometimes they exercise discretion, sometimes not.

Hello Yes and no. If you are absent for less than 6 months then you come back, it's fine. But if you are frequently absent for less than 6 months, you may end up breaking other absence criteria and you won't qualify for Settled Status in 5 years. https://www.freemovement.org.uk/lengthy-absences-from...

Hello

You can use this official website to asses the situation:

She has 12 months with the US driving license.

But you will struggle to find an insurance on a foreign license. It's nearly impossible.
