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...

Hi everyone,

My mate just become a British citizen in
November 2017. And now he want to stay in
back home and just want to keep citizenship

When naturalized, he was required to state that his intentions were to permanently make his center of life in the UK. Was that not true?

You are advising someone who entered into the country with a valid passport to apply for leave as a stateless or what? A passport does not equal citizenship. It is strictly an identity document. For several countries (including the UK), it is possible to hold a passport of that country and not be a...

Thank you for all the information you giving me. Is it best to do online application or just do a normal postal application. As for character reference I am sure its up to home office to decide on that but i have never committed any crime no debts only that my asylum application was refused at firs...

As I said, a oneway passport back to the US, Not if you got everything sorted out whilst there and got your passport off hold. with a wife and a newborn here in the UK, was not an option.... Its not 'Good Character' to abandon your family. The UK isn't very accepting of the 'anchor' babies/spouses ...

Did you advanced this point to them at the application stages? No, As I had just received my ILR. Everything was disclosed then. You should have addressed those matter in your application and provided those justification, then if they refused to engage them, then you have have a stronger case. I do...

The hold on my passport was because of child support arrears. The arrears accrued because, I was in the middle of going to court to adjust the support payments. The hold goes on automatically when arrears go beyond $2500. I spend several months here in the UK Courts to correct the arrears and ongoi...

OCI will normally take around 6 months.

For a late submission I received a document from HMRC stating that it is only a late filing and not amended. This is a key point that I do hope everyone keeps in mind. There is a difference, in the eyes of the HO, between appearing to deceive the government, and merely not paying your taxes on time...

Thank you so much for your help. My main issue at the moment is getting him deported back Once it is obvious to the UK that the relationship has broken down and he no longer meets the requirement of his visa, the UK government will handle the rest. It's probably best to stay out of it from that poi...

As vinny's link has sort of pointed out, this visa is exceedingly rare/difficult to get. Some people have managed to get DLR out of attempts for this visa, but even that seems to be occurring less frequently now. You should consider making realistic plans in that regards. Are the parents married/liv...

Many thanks for your reply.

If I am applying for the British Citizenship, I wonder if I can apply for the Citizenship for him at the same time. Thanks again.

Kind Regards,

Only if the child holds ILR. Otherwise, the child's application will likely fail.

As your indian passport has been cancelled, it is very likely in my opinion that the passport number has been put on the some kind of a watch list by Indian authorities during cancellation process so it has to be returned to Indian high commision if ever seen by international immigration authoritie...

Based on the way the PSC guys where talking, I guess they are not sure about the surrender process. I can clearly see the last page of my Indian passport shows "CANCELLED AND RETURNED WHICH HOLD VALID VISAS" I'm not sure who the 'PSC guys' are, but if they are UK, they likely know nothing about the...

Hi, Yesterday my wife got her ILR approved pretty stright forward process, just need to wait more time. But the sad thing is while submitting the docs she was carrying my old India passport (which was cancelled as part of surrender passport process) and the CW asked her to give all passports docume...

"Live by the sword....." Yes, indeed. If the Home Office operate such an unjust system, I am not going to judge against someone breaking those rules. Unjust? The UK is possibly the most generous country in the world in its offering of visa types and willingness to let people squeeze through the imm...
