Most governments of the world probably don't consider deffered or delayed tax payments as 'minor'. Those taxes pay that government's existance.

Hi folks,I am ready to apply my Citizenship recently passed my language and Life in UK test as well as have my residence for the last 13 years. My only worry is my Criminal Record. They all are traffic related and following are the Convcitions starting from the year 2005 till 2014. Taxi Touting(200...

*Edited* Just over a year ago my British Citizenship application was refused without any specific reasons given why my application was refused, I had to submit a request for internal review (reconsideration) at an extra cost of £272. Again my application was refused but this time with little detail...

What is the best thing to do now. If the self employement ID was not genuiine, the best thing to do is leave the country and forget about the UK. If it was genuine, challenge the decision by all means available to you. Don't worry about any further visas or anything else, just clear your name. Once...

You should consider asking a moderator to move this to the Tier 1 E section. Especially since posters over there might not ever visit the General section.

HI There, Appreciate if anyone can help with more information on if a new born in india for british OCI parents can apply for right to abode ? i have read some forms that child had indian passports granted for OCI parents ? Dev No. As neither parent is an Indian citizen, the child does not acquire ...

but the a fresh application was made with in a month's time. There is no grace period for citizenship applications, including time taken into account for the Good Character requirement. I believe there is even a case on the forum for somebody who was denied for being just one single day illegally p...

From my understanding, your in time application and appeal were covered under section 3c. The 28 day rule was abolished in 2016 after your subsequent application was made in 2015, which was successfully approved. 28 day rule has now been reduced to 14 days. I think it will not be an issue in your c...

Child applicants with criminal records . This is the only one that I can think of that could be considered close to what you propose. Since citizenship isn't a right, it's difficult to make a case that anyone was wronged by its denial, hence the lack of precedent for adult applications. But there a...

Hi, I'm on a Tier 2 General visa and planning to apply for ILR this month via the 5 year route using the same day premium service. My question is about the Schengen visa I hold at present, which is valid until 2020. When I get my ILR, will that invalidate the Schengen visa as it was applied when I ...

.. but the chances are 50/50 its all about risking it .

The chances are more like 1/10000. But if you've got the money to burn and don't let yourself get your hopes up too much, you can rest assured that the money will be put to good use funding the UK immigration system if nothing else.

It's also important to keep in mind the UK government can decide to bestow citizenship however they wish, by whatever means they wish. They can also deny it for whatever reason they like (however menial or arcane) or no reason at all. Indeed that is a right of any sovereign nation. No, I disagree o...

Hi ouflak1, Even though I haven’t got a clue what you’re trying to say I thank you replying. I ask the question because I’ve seen where someone been an asylum seeker got ILR and later was refused Naturalisation because they were illegal and one of the moderators on here wrote a letter for that some...

Thanks for your reply outflak1 Thanks for your reply Hassan7861, Do you know of any descretion policy for naturalisation regarding victims of domestic violence, asylum seeker that missed their reporting date which is out of their control or mental/ disability? That isn't really the point of citizen...

Is it not worth convincing them that it was one minor offence done by a person of otherwise good character and their decision not to grant might be disproportionate? Thank you for your insights. A Again, it might be 'minor' to you, but to the British, the BBC is an institution. It is not 'minor' to...

If u have enough money then i suggest u should apply again with the covering letter explaining everything. Im saying this because of my personal experience almost everyone told me that i wont get the ILR but i still applied it took 1 and a half years but in the end i got the ILR. Citizenship has a ...

Hi all... first post here, So a couple of days ago I recieved most but not all of my naturalisation application supporting documents but not all, along with it a cover letter stating that I did not provide evidence for knowledge of English and life in the UK. The documents that weren’t returned was...

Am I in one basket with drug and sex related offenders when it comes to my conviction for non payment of tv licence? Likewise keep in mind that while such an offense might be minor to you, for the British, the BBC is an intrisic and important part of the culture. Not paying a TV license could be in...

How likely are they to reconsider their decision, in your opinion. IMO, not very. Becoming Naturalised is important to me, I know it is a privilege and that is why I am so disappointed that it did not work out. Am I in one basket with drug and sex related offenders when it comes to my conviction fo...

So not sure whether to renew her US passport or get her a UK passport.

Do both.

I'm assuming that the refusal was based on grounds of deception. In which it would be from the date that the decision on the application was made.

Please what about the answer for the other question. Any idea? You would likely fail the Good Character requirement because of the failure to disclose the police caution. Your only practical option is to wait until 2025. There are less practical options, but they are very likely doomed expensive op...

No I didn't. I don't know what is the reason for refusal as well

Are you sure your solicitor actuallly lodged an application? When was the application made?

thank you. Looks like it is difficult unless I can prove I have family ties in UK. Anyone had a sucess in applying for returning resident visa? Family present in the UK doesn't seem to make that big of a difference. I think there has only been one case of a successful application on this grounds po...

Change is inevitable. It is not a crime for people (to change) their mind. There is no crime involved at all. More of a... promise. And we're not talking about starting a new job, and deciding 6 months later it's just not a right fit for you. Since he naturalized, it must have taken somewhere betwe...
