NCS is only good if you want to keep your passport Because that's what they are for - they do not give any advice, they just photocopy one's documents and send it to UKBA. Not exactly true – they check application for missing information and can help to complete it with relevant and, most importa...

And although it is not a recent news, where do you actually see the new fees on UKBA site? If you go over there http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/ there is NOTHING about new fees. So for many people new fees may quite be a news. Yes, exactly – how do those savers know about the...

may be you need to increase your social circle. How about improving your own social circle eh? 8) I’m not judging situation, just suspicious that price is not an issue, new rules – maybe. Panicking and applying last minute to save £50 is not for people who really struggle to get those £50. As...

Sorry, the address given in the guidance (not the form itself) “where to send your formâ€

£50 is £50, it isn’t nothing but it isn’t reason to apply in triple amounts surely. On a contrary to you I don’t know a single person who applied earlier for this reason. In addition to that those are very old news and applications that seem to be affected by the increase are only this month...

Well I tried to book appointment at Crawley, spend half an hour with them on the phone, giving all my details etc only to be told that they “will be in contactâ€

I’m submitting my employment letter as it is part of the “good characterâ€

Sorry if I was unclear - my card was debited and I did get acknowledgement letter, "nothing" referred to lack of decision letter :oops: I did apply through NCS. Hi there! :D I’m applying tomorrow on almost the same conditions (only I’m a driver with one fixed penalty, minor, I have checked, and...

Hi everybody
I can’t remember exactly the dates i’ve moved couple time before, i mean i know plus-minus day or two but can’t be 100% sure. Do you think it might be a problem?

Hi everybody, just a similar question – I’ve arrived to the UK on 1st of April 2006 – can I apply for naturalization on the 1st of April 2011? It is Friday and even with next day delivery HO will not officially receive application till Monday ie 4th of April. What do you think – safe or not ...

Thanks vinny
I guess it will be pointless argue with HO that getting family reunion visa while on family visit visa does actually make sense
Anyway, what type of visa would they have to be on to apply from inside the UK?

Can anybody clarify if parent can apply from within the UK while on family visit visa? And if not, what visa would they have to be on to be able to do that? UKBA site says: “If you are already in the UK and you want to apply to settle here as a settled person's elderly dependent relative, you shou...

never have to extend

am i blind or 180 days (tier1) are not actually mentioned?

Oh for the love of god don’t ever quote this Wikipedia rubbish :shock: That website hasn’t got even new version of the card and can be updated any time by anybody. I’m not arguing whether or not landing card has anything to do with immigration. It definitely HAS! But ILR holders ARE NOT subjec...

it is not MY logic it is the statement of Home Office that ILR holders are NOT subject to immigration control. Landing card IS immigration control and VERY detail one i have to say. WHY HO contradicts itself? anyone can answer?

mteja

Thanks i use IRIS most of the time but not last time and i prepared landing card “just in caseâ€

You are still subject to examination 10A. Where a person has arrived in the United Kingdom with leave to enter or remain which is in force but which was given to him before his arrival he may be examined by an Immigration Officer under paragraph 2A of Schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971. An Immi...

still required... Well i kinda got that :D question is WHY? Home Office clearly states that ILR holders are NOT subject to immigration control yet they are not consistent in this particular requirement with landing card. UK border is one of the places of such a control if not the only one for some ...

Only actual British, EU and Swiss nationals/passport holders are not required to fill in landing cards. Although ILR means "not subject to immigration controls" it stll does not mean you have the same rights as British/EU passport holders. For example, if you stay outside the UK for more than 2 yea...

Hey guys Can anybody explain to me why ILR holders still have to fill up the Landing Card on the arrival? If they are not subject to immigration control then what’s the purpose? I have asked the officer at Heathrow when arrived few days ago from short holidays abroad and she wasn’t able to tell ...

Congratulations on ilr. I was also in Croydon on 5th of march. I had an appointment at 9 and I got my ilr/passport by 10:30. I came to UK on 8th of February 2006 (HSMP). The case worker told me that I have got a backdated ilr. So the date stamped on my visa is 8th February. Not sure how it works. i...

also its stupid to apply for electrol polling list when i can not even do it since im not a UK citizen...this action can lead to a negative impact on my ILR application. If you don’t inform them that you live and can NOT vote then I’ll affect your credit rating. You won’t be able to get a cre...
