I will try Trinity college, but my partner prefer the B1. That's why!! The Trinity College London's GESE grade 5 is a speaking & listening exam at B1 level on the CEFR* / ESOL Entry level 3 on NQF* (Speaking & Listening) The GESE grade 5 is on the Home Office's list of approved English tests (see l...

One of my referees who is NOT a professional was sent to prison for six months more then 10 years ago for taking his son back home without his wife's permission so I need to know that if it makes him a suitable referee or not?

Do a Subject access request at your local police station and you will have a clear picture of what exactly is stored about you on the systems.

Thank you for your reply, so it means that ONE British Doctor and another British Citizen who is NOT a professional are acceptable?
Sorry for being daft

Hi, One of my referees is a Doctor and he is a British citizen while the other one is NOT a professional but he is over the age of 25 and he is a British citizen too so I need to know that if they meet the requirement to act as referees as I'm quite confused after reading the form and guidance AN th...

Please contact the Student Finance for further advice on this as what I have said above is a general rule for qualifying for home fee and to be considered as a home student.

In order to qualify for SF you need to have ILR and should have been resident in the country for at least the last three years before the start of academic year and during any point in the last three years your purpose of residence in the country was NOT full time education.

Congratulations Desert Storm

A ray of hope for our friend smam

so you can NOT apply for citizenship after 3 years of marriage with a British citizen if you are an EEA national and you have to complete 5 years in the UK and have permanent residence in order to be eligible for the BC. :idea: Sorry for being bit daft but I got really confused because as I said abo...

Technically you have to be free from immigration time restrictions in order to be eligible to apply for BC but still its not clear whether an EEA national can apply after 3 years or 5 years specifically if married to a British citizen.There is nothing specifically mentioned anywhere on the UKBA site...

your query has been answered before and you were given a successful example of a member who was in the same situation. :| If you have already paid the arrears and then IMHO I don't think there is anything to worry about but make sure you confirm it with the council again and ask them if there is any...

If married to a BC, you can apply the same day you are granted ILR if you meet the spouse requirements which includes 3 years residence. Any legal stay in the UK counts. An important requirement you should pay attention to is that you need to have been physically present in the UK at the beginning ...

you have already been advised here to get your child a British passport as your child is a British by descent so why you haven't yet done that?

Your query has already been answered so what else you need to know? :roll: Hi respected guru I just want to know my daughter got a Roa visa on her pakistani passport and I will apply for my wife spouse visa in April 2014. Its any speifc timming for my daughter to come to the UK or she can come any ...

so if you are an EEA national and married to a British citizen then can you can apply for BC after 3 years or 5 years?

I know someone who is a Swedish Passport holder and married to a British citizen but he insists that he can apply for BC after 2 years? is he right?

Hey guys it would be reassuring and useful to know if anyone has been successful in getting British Citizenship recently after the change in rules (after 12 Dec 2012) with the spent Police Cautions and other non-custodial sentences. It would help and give reassurance to those who have cautions,non-c...

Hi Applied my BC on 18th Oct 2013 with the following 1) DR10, 9 months ban, 300 fine on 07/07/2009 2) CU80, 60 fine, 2 points on 22/09/2010 FPN 3) Speeding but no FPN or Court as I went to an Awareness Course by police on 18/09/2013 Lets see whats the result I get :) Desert Storm were you successfu...

Your query has already been answered so what else you need to know?

It would be of interest and helpful for those who have cautions on their records that after doing some research need_a_tier_1 , Zimba2205, milleniumx99 were all successful in their BC applications and the important thing to note is that they all applied after the change in BC rules which came into f...

Hi there, I am in a very similar situation, would you mind sharing your outcome of citizenship please, as I need to apply very soon too. You can pm me should you not wish to post here please. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks, MAN1 After doing some search sun_ilr was successful in his applicati...

If you have already applied for BC and then intend to change place of birth after the approval then I am afraid you are heading for a mess

Apply for a new passport and then apply for citizenship and I don't think that it's a good idea to change your place of birth now as it might create unwanted problems for you in your BC Application so keep it consistent with the rest of your immigration applications. Why you are so keen to change it...

Hi there lahore whats on my birth certificate did so flr and ilr. ilr. Well then keep it as it is in your passport, ID card and rest of your applications to be consistent and to avoid any problems. :wink: I just don't understand you never bothered to at least check the details on your passport and ...

What place of birth you provided in your rest of applications?including ILR???

Instead of calling it passport Interview which sounds pretty dreadful & daunting step to some people the process should be called ''Passport Identity Check'' to give some relief.
