Re: Question for citizenship in UK

I don´t understand the the adoption issues that you seem to be raising. Are you suggesting she could be adopted now, as an adult? Please elaborate on your very vague and confusing references. As it stands, the child seems to have been born to parents who were not at that time settled in the UK and w...

You have not provided sufficient information. However, it is not likely that her father was settled (being a student on a just an MBA course) so, there is no claim to British Citizenship. Who was the mother and what was her status

Re: no visa situation for spouse

The categories of general or family visit makes no real difference. If she was previously refused any type of visit visa she will likely be refused any other type of visit visa. To be granted any type of visit visa, she has to show her strong social and economic ties to her homeland. If her spouse (...

It's okay to apply in early December (within 28 days of the date of your original arrival). The application form is SET(M) but I'm concerned that you don't already know about that, as the requirements of that form ask for evidence taken from the entire two years of your residence, so I hope you have...

Re: Living in NYC, want to keep options open to return to UK

I don't think it's worth concerning yourself with this, given that you don't intend to move for another five years. The immigration rules change frequently, and five years from now will be different in some way. As long as you have a job or savings in the future, there will be nothing to prevent you...

Re: Spouse/ Fiance Visa application

It's not a case of which is best; it's which is appropriate. If you are already married, the spouse; if you are not already married, the fiancee. Simply as that! You have said you want to marry in the UK, so, obviously, the fiancee visa is appropriate in your circumstances.

Re: Expert Advise Needed!!! just 3months short of 10years

It's safe to assume that long residence applications can take 6 months to be decided so you will not be refused until you have passed the 10 year threshold. You can't make an new application when you are under appeal; you are only permitted to vary the previous application. However, now for the bad ...

Re: ILR eligibility after working abroad

The fact that the company was British is not relevant so those absences will be recorded like any other. But, given that the yearly count is made from the month of entry (or month of application for ILR looking backwards), it's possible to include a gap of more than 180 days in a year if the gap is ...

Re: Citizenship passed on from parents/perm residence/spouse

Your paperwork is not legible. That's why they challenge you rather than for only having ILR. Most US citizens living in the UK do not naturalize so it's not an issue to stay with ILR rather than apply for naturalization. In any case, you are already British by descent and have been living under mis...

Child born abroad So, it was a correct decision. Child needs ILR before naturalization. Direct registration is only permitted if the child is born in the UK to parents who later acquire ILR. Could have applied for ILR with the mother but that ship has sailed. Need to apply now using SET(F) https://...

Do she have a particular or abnormal condition? Otherwise, to suggest that a 6 month gestation can't fly is absurd. The only bar on flying in normal gestations is placed by the airline itself, and this varies between 28 and 36 weeks. 36 is the cap, but flying after 28 up to 36 is okay with a doctor'...

You have to list your absences for each 12 month period over the five years.
