Hello All, I have a baby boy born in UK in June 2012. We look for applying for his UK citizenship after one year. Before that, I want to take him to India (Indian origin parents) for 3 months. Is he going to be British at birth? If so, why don't you apply for a passport straight away? On the other ...

Difficult to provide clear answer since you dont provide details; but a safe way I used was to put the new name and in brackets put ' previously known as XXXXX. It is not, but let's say it is akin to being born nearby Jerusalem in 1918, and having paperworks only from Turkey stating he was born in ...

that he will have to wait 5 years from the date his sentence ends to apply for bc in other to be successful. Just to add the date his sentence started will probably be the date on which he was found guilty, not the date on which he committed the crime. Say he was found driving while drunk in March ...

Any opinion on what an EEA citizen should answer to question 1.3 of the form AN? 1.3 Please say when you were given indefinite leave to enter/remain in the UK (not necessary if you are a Commonwealth citizen with right of abode in the United Kingdom). If you are an EEA national, a Swiss national or ...

Well my passport never gets stamps it is only scanned :/ I found few confirmations of flight bookings but it only covers maybe 20% :( I reverse engineered most of the travels using my employer's software tracking my leaves. Once I got the leave days, it was easier to investigate/recollect travels. ...

In the AN form there are various fields requesting the name of places. To give in example, my dad was born in a town which changed name somewhen in the 80s, but he has got the old name in all its documents. Also, he was born during a war, in a prisoners' camp in an occupied province, a province then...

Would that be a valid suggestion also when the said local MP is actually running the whole business?

Many thanks once again, jambo, you saved the day. Yeah, applying for PR confirmation with EEA3 sounds very sensible indeed, and it will be their next step. Thanks again! Just to confirm, I got PR via EEA3 with an almost 3 months long gap between jobs, on which I was mostly abroad on wedding/honeymo...

I don't know about Sweden, but spouses of Italian citizens may get Italian citizenship without ever setting foot in Italy in their lives. It takes a while tough ...

I am not by any means an expert on this subject, but I was wondering if you have investigated if you could ask to register your son as British citizen?

I am currently in Mexico and married my wife yesterday! :D Congratulation Robin, I thoroughly enjoyed this thread. You remind me of me 8) I must admit that my wife usually seems a bit annoyed of me behaving like that, but unfortunately I have been proven right too many times on this subject (border...

My wife EEA2 application took 8 m...

This is the reason that you need to be aware of MRAX and travel with a copy of your marriage certificate. http://eumovement.wordpress.com/2010/08/04/no-visa-but-still-want-to-travel/ The border guards don't have much to do, and so count entry stamps in and out. Pretty silly since they often don't m...

Yes, I am (Italian citizen since birth).

So i never got a stamp out to confirm that we exited within the "90 days" which i found makes the whole point of stamping in the first place useless. A couple of times the border officer in EU countries didn't let my wife pass until he had confirmed that all entry stamps were matched with an exit s...

I think you mean Residence Card , which is applied for on form EEA2 from within the UK! EEA FP is just an Entry Clearance to enter the UK as an EU Family Member. Oh, you are right :oops: I was quite systematic in my persistence on being wrong on that :D So, for Nabo, follow Rozen's corrigenda, when...
