Hi Thanks for your reply. I thought the criteria for naturalisation is to have 12 months ILR prior application and I will fulfill that requirement in Sept 2009. Is it usual that the ILR back dated to the initial approval date not the 1st arrival date? Thanks The other criteria is residency in the U...
Hi, My original HSMP was approved on Sept 2004. Came to this country on May 2005. Recently went for ILR under JR, my application was approved and ILR was back dated to Sept 2008 (according to attached letter). Can I go for naturalisation this coming Sept 2009? Thanks No. If you didn't arrive in the...
It will certainly affect you potential spouse's ability to obtain a spousal visa. It will be viewed as if you don't have enough resource to maintain yourself never mind your husband who will be coming to join you. If the OP has enough spare money (from the money she currently claims and earns) to s...
Having UK no. would cost you a lot. This isn't stictly true. You can get some free personal numbers in the UK that can be redirected to a telephone in India for free (costs the caller though about 0.5GBP/min to call). Unfortunately though these types of numbers are often used by scammers in Nigeria...
Hi Friends, Can we get UK mobile number in India itself if so can we put that number in our resume and apply for UK jobs. Will it help us in job search. Thanks, Sajan Chandran 91-984003119. If you got a UK mobile phone SIM you could use it in India, though whenever you received a call it would cost...
u dont need to withdraw ur application for that. All you have to do is fill in the new form Tier 2, attach it with change of circumstances form(UKBA website), attach all the other documents required under Tier 2 (check UKBA website for details) and send it off. Try doing it through a solicitor beca...

Rgds Anis Yes Thanks.....So your YES is in response to my question Can I work in Scotland.....what abt wo...
It's you being daft :-) Those who receive their visa within 2 days or less are included in the figures for 7 days or less (so 8% took more than 2, but less then 7 days). The page you want to look at is http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/missions/unitedkingdom-royaumeuni/visas/processing-traitement-eng.asp...
He can provide an employee letter stating his pay, position, start date, and that the job is also permanent. But this wont be enough will it?? They might want to see some type of tax return document or payslips??? I dont know what to do. What is the best way of fixing this problem, or anyone been i...
I agree. Visa needed in almost all cases. Would be free and easy if you were travelling with your (EU) husband. Unfortunately you have to pay and open all your personal details to their scrutiny. Does a schengen visa issued as the spouse of a British citizen actually say it was obtained that way? A...

1) Can't help 2) Think you are sending in more documents than necessary especially if your passport has been the one you've been using for the last 5 years or so. 3) It can takes anything from 1 month to maybe over a year to be approved. You will only be asked to arrange the oath taking once you hav...
The way I read it was that the person of professional standing didn't have to be a British citizen or a passport holder (not everybody has a passport...), so just leave the field blank.
To be safe you could note somewhere that the passport number can be obtained by contacting the person directly.
Is that list of countries treated "differently" set by the individial Schengen countries (France for example) or are they discriminated against across all Schengen states? It appears that we may be able to get a Schengen visa from the Swiss consulate in 2 weeks rather than the 4 weeks the French ta...
My Russian partner got a German one in about four days after making the appointment - about 10 days in all. But she has had a German Work Permit before... Russia isn't on the list of countries treated 'differently'.... Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, Burundi, Colombia, ...
Hi, Thanks for the reply Vinny. My GP also told me that he used to do in past but has stopped doing it. So its very unlikely that he will sign as a referee. Any idea if I get it signed by the same person who is signing mine, will that work? You probably want to find a different doctor ... unclear w...
Try looking at this link. http://www.dwp.gov.uk/international/ssa.asp Don't think that is correct. In some cases it is possible to 'use' your contributions in another country which the UK has a reciprocal agreement with to claim certain benefits. Obviously not as good as getting money back but may b...
In some cases it is possible to 'use' your contributions in another country which the UK has a reciprocal agreement with to claim certain benefits. Obviously not as good as getting money back but may be of some use. Though this doesn't help you if you are from India as India is not one of the countr...
I have seen a case of where the ECO did bring up the subject of why previously they had stayed much longer in the UK than they said when they applied for the previous visa. (The visa was refused, though not necessarily just for this reason). I guess you need to have good reasons as extending a trip ...
Dont think you need an appointment with the Finns. Last time i enquired over the phone, the lady said you just turn up and everyone will be seen. However they only issue single-entry visas so you need to go direct from Finland to your destination. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Give t...
Always make sure you apply before your visa expires.
I'm presuming you came here on a spouse visa, and if so the earliest you can apply is 28 days prior to the 14/12/2010, which I think is the 17/11/2010. This is of course assuming the rules haven't changed by then.
Apply at French embassy you will get it quicker, however your main destination must be France ie you will need return tickets + hotel bookings etc Their online appointment booking system has no slots available in May or June (though I think sometimes cancelled slots appear Thursday afternoons). May...
It all depends on home office how fast they process your application as per the guidlines it can take from 1 - 6 months ... And using the Nationality Checking Service does not mean your application will be processed any faster. All it means is that there are less likely to be problems with your app...
