If you are a spouse of a British citizen, then yes. No, I gained the ILR/PR through long residence category. :roll: Thanks, In both cases you have to wait a further year, unless married to a BC and had valid visa time before marriage that can be offset against the extra year. any idea people who ge...

Thanks for the reply Whirley, but Andorran citizenship requires 20 years residence, although our child has an Andorran passport thru birth. And, for Rizwan, I have lived in Andorra for 15 years and my wife for 3. She has never been to UK except for two short vacations with me on a FP. Seems like th...

I am a UK citizen and my wife is Filipina. We are both official residents of Andorra. Our child was born in Andorra and has a UK passport. My wife meets all the requirements for a UK passport except for the 3 year residency. Neither of us wish to spend 3 years in the UK just to qualify for a UK pas...

She already got FLR and ID card and we're applying for her ILR next month Ok then she will be processed normally i dont think so she will be issued the ID card again because at the moment only issuing the card for just to leave to remain the person who seeking indefinite leave to remain will remain...

Thanks Rizwan, As I mentioned, my wife has already been issued with the ID card as we had to apply for her FLR to top up another 6 weeks visa to complete 2 years on spouse visa. Anyway it would be interesting to find out if someone has been issued with an ILR recently who also had an ID Card MHS I ...

Hello all, We're applying for the ILR (in person) of my wife next month who's already issued with the new ID card for foreign nationals.

Cheers Casa that is great to hear. I have a NI # from approx. 10 years ago when i worked here for 12 months, would this still be active? I have not taken the KOL test where is the best place to find this information? Thanks again J19 i had my same edorsement on my visa i passed my KOL test within a...

can anybody confirm me when these card will issue to normal resident in the i.e. for ILR holder or british citizen.

As current ILR holders will be considered as PR, will they need to spend 3 years of probationary citizenship before citizenship application? Provisional citizenship is the next stage of temporary residence. My understanding is if you already have ILR/PR, then you don't need to apply for provisional...

The new bill says that after one year of probationary citizenship one can apply for citizenship. And those who want to take PR should spend 3 years of probationary citizenship. Question: When probationary citizenship is issued, will it be issued for 3 years or issued for one year to be renewed annu...

With all the uncertainty about the settlement, will it be better to avoid any commitment here (like buying a home), until you become citizen? The reason is that if you are refused "provisional citizenship", you may have to leave, and you may not have enough time to sell your home. If you have alrea...

I heard the government plans to introduce a power to revoke an ILR if there is evidence 5, 10 or 15 years after getting ILR is abused and the marriage was by deception and there is evidence of it. Is it true? I recall reading something on this forum but cant remember. they are replacing ILR to perm...
