1. Is there any section or question in the form that requests that information? If yes, then do it, if not then what’s the point. - There is a section that asks about all previous Immigration applications, better to mention as they have all this info anyway. - You haven't mentioned the reasons for ...
My other question is will the Home office retain my current passport while considering my BC application? NO. You don't need to submit original documents with the new online applications. You only need to scan and upload. You then bring all original passports for checking when you attend your bio-m...
Giving wrong advice when you are not sure yourself can end up costing someone a lot of money. In case I didn't make it clear already: I stand corrected! Why would I post anything if I wasn't sure of it? Either way, this back and forth will be beneficial not just to the OP and me but to anyone else ...
Please do not post incorrect advice . For ilr a person needs 5 years residence on a qualifying visa (or 10 years if on a 10 year FLR fp route). There is no route anymore that is 3 years visa for ilr as spouse of British citizen. Fair enough, I stand corrected. However we all post what we believe to...
Thanks guys but i didnt still understand clearly but anyway i will better wait for extended 2.5 years and then i think 1 year ILR and then citizenship . My status is i have married to a british nationality outside british and then came to uk with spouse visa Thanks Just to add to what aman90 said. ...
Also apart from Life in The UK and english test.... is there anything else needed to support his application....?? Did you read the Guide AN booklet that I linked above? It should have all the requirements in general. Read it, and then ask if there is anything specific to his circumstances that you...
I should add the Life in the UK test does not expire. But as CR001 said he would likely need to take the English Language at B1 CEFR level or better at HO currently approved centres.
He can apply online using form AN. Please read this guide it will tell you the requirements: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/794168/Guide_AN__Naturalisation_Booklet.pdf Also you asked above, as well as the Life in the UK he would need a...
You are saying conflicting and confusing dates! You did not answer what Casa has asked. It's impossible to help you without a clear picture. Did he come back in 2010 or 2011? When he came back, did he come back on the grounds of being your spouse? If not, what was his Visa status on his return befor...
You need EXACTLY 1 year minimum of ILR (NOT even 28 days before, that's only applicable to immigration Visas not Citizenship) before you can apply for British Citizenship regardless of when you were eligible. So in your case March 2020. Unless you're married to a British Citizen then you can apply a...
1. Am I eligible to apply Citizenship now? Since I'm married to the British Citizen, I understand that I do not need to wait 12 months to apply after getting ILR. Not sure about this as your ILR is based on your Long Residence rather than your spousal visa - Will leave this for experts to answer. I...
If you continue to complete the online application you will see that it will ask you to fill in your referees' details i.e. full name, address, occupation and British passport number. You can only do this online as the declaration form will not have this option.
Thank you all for your responses. We did not have any issues with the UKVCAS and now we wait for the Home Office! The referee was genuine so guessing the worst that could happen is the HO contacting them to confirm. Will come back to update with any outcome re this topic in a few/many months!
Hi All, I have a question. I'm helping a relative with their application. One of their referee is currently abroad on holiday so they signed the form and scanned it over. When appointment time with UKVCAS comes it'll be obvious to them that one of the Referee declarations is a copy, will this be a p...
I am going over the rejection letter I received in 2010 and it says Application is INVALID and not REFUSED as application was filled incorrectly. This distinction of your application being Invalid and not Refused cannot be underestimated. If they are going to refuse you BC, this will be the reason....
Hi da09aam, have a read of this document on page 26 https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/665387/naturalisation-as-a-British-citizen-by-discretion-v2.0EXT.pdf • the applicant had made an ‘in-time’application, but the application was rejected ...
It looks like you had 2 breaches of Immigration control. One was overstaying and the other is working without immigration status that allowed work. They refused your BC not for overstaying but for working without HO permission. On the grounds of overstaying alone (which it sounds like is what you pr...
Hello, I am in slight panic: we submitted documents for naturalisation on 09/08 via Nationality Checking Service, documents reached the office on 10/08 early in the morning, but payment still haven't been taken out of my account.... For the applications we did at NCS on 28 April, the money was take...
I'm no expert on this but if it helps, the person for whom I originally posted this query is now a British Citizen. He had 2 council issued PCNs for parking which we did not declare. He had a further 2 council issued PCNs whilst application was with HO. All were under 3 years. Granted, he is a secon...
Only those who reapply within 28 Days of the rejection are afforded Discretion . I don't believe this is true for citizenship. For ILR, yes. I was only disputing your assertion that Discretion is only given for ILR and not Citizenship, which it is - as long as the set conditions are met. The OP was...
