If you go over 6 months you can call them and they will give an update. How useful that update may be is another matter. I was lucky and managed to get an agent who did give an update before the 6 months was up and he advised that the decision had already been made an a letter was sent 2 days earlie...

You were exceptionally lucky if you got in 5 weeks, most wait 3-4 months.

The contact centre only will give updates after 6 months of applying unless you are very lucky with who you get on the phone.

If you dont want to send your original documents to apply for BC then you need to use the NCS service at your local council and they will make and certify all the copies for you - on the day you turn up with your originals and they do the rest with you taking your original documents away with you

DX say our passport will be delivered today, so here's waiting as delivery companies always struggle with our address.

To get the update from IPS you submit the online form https://forms.direct.gov.uk/forms/form/ ... pplication

You need to remember that the EEA forms are not asking for permission but instead are asking for recognition of your rights. Your PR is therefore automatic after 5 years of being resident in the UK and exercising treaty rights. It is therefore up to you if you want to complete EEA4 to get the PR car...

The fact he is working for a sole trader rather than a limited company means that there will be no records at Companies House because they only deal with companies (plus some partnerships) and not sole traders. However, any business that is hiring staff must be registered with HMRC as an employer an...

You would need to say what their nationality is. Their uk immigration status will make no difference in entering Spain

Certify for what purpose?

I would strongly suggest that you consult a qualified adviser or a solicitor as it might be an exemption in your case since you have been permanently living here for more than 3 decades that you do not need to pass the life in the uk test whilst this may be true you do also have to balance cost/ ef...

What is your status?

How is she funding her existence in the UK?

Does she have comprehensive health insurance (outside of the UK NHS)?

As soon as she becomes british then you can apply as a spouse of a BC - in fact if you search on here there are some that say you can do them at the same time but I dont know that bit.

I havent seen anything to that effect but my learning has come from personal experience (and too much time spent on the HO website) and so by no means an expert

The implication of you having one when they know you dont (at least according to your CRA file) is a little bit of a trick question, in my book, but not a world ending one.

I decide to apply for British passport. Just want to know how should I start? do I have to apply like new ILR people who apply for Naturalization? do I have to go for English exam? First step is to apply for naturalisation. You will need to sit the Life in the UK test as you didn't do this when get...

As per my previous post, there is no outstanding loan.

Good luck to you and many thanks. The questions asked (and remembered) were: Have received the conformation it is being issued today, arrive in 4-5 working days It is my wife that had the interview and it only lasted a little over 15 minutes but the questions she mentioned were: What is your name Wh...

So queried their previous response by email and just got another email advising the passport will be issued today

Just always get very nervous before any interview at all, cant sleep the night before etc etc. The questions they asked were fairly standard ones, the interview lasted less than 20 minutes, a fair amount of questions about partner, what do they do for living, who do they work for, where's their offi...

So, passport interview yesterday AM, a few answers given incorrectly due to nerves/ understanding accents etc. Today did another web progress update today and the response came back as "your application is currently going through the examination process" which is the same response received as the la...

Pends who you speak to, some will and others wont... same as the email updates

Your main consideration on BC is going to be the absenses from the UK requirement which are: not spent more than 450 days outside the UK during the five-year period; AND not spent more than 90 days outside the UK in the last 12 months of the five-year period; If you are thinking of going for a year ...

Ours wasn't contacted. He is however a prominent person and whilst the relationship could be probed it wouldn't be necessary to ensure he holds an appropriate role.

Self employed SA is only required for certain immigration categories (mainly HSMP/Tier-1). Not for people on family routes.

7.6.1.b is Sole Representatives, aka Sole Traders aka self employed, which is where the OP's husband would fit.

We didnt send one but gave an explanation why

Is she also an EEA national/ polish?

Does she meet the requirement of having comprehensive medical insurance (outside of the UK NHS)?

How long have you both lived in the UK?
