@Jon I agree with you, its not well thought and allows most of the people to abuse the system

@Umer Calm down and stop pointing fingers at others, before doing so you should look at your own self. You could have used this time to help someone than talking rude.

Does anyone know of cheapest option for language test which works out for Naturalisation eligibility? IELTS cost about £135. Anyone who knows any other cheaper option please?

Hi, Is it possible for anyone to post link for Nationality Case working instructions especially in regards to medical exemptions for Old aged individuals please. I am unable to find it on UKBA web site.. Also what are your thoughts if an old age lady applying for naturalisation, she is given medical...

Blimmy, this is prescisly what i wrote to the UK Border Agency this morning!.. Now with my case; I am happy to wait but as you can see Amber that Date of Offence is 06/02/2011 and date of Conviction is 30/08/2013. it certainly has been more than 2 years and I do not have any other record of convicti...

I am not applying yet, i will send my application once 3 years are passed but it was very interesting to read that what is being practiced is not clearly mentioned. in all honesty if Amber hadn't mentioned i would have submitted and may have lost money. so i am thankful for everyones contribution.

Further to my previous posts, i requested my CRB and Subject Access report - both of them are absolutely clear. I did go through UK Border Agency policy guidelines; 1. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/nationality/guide_an.pdf 2. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecon...

I didn't mean to be rude it was just writing tone which made me feel that. Anyways I am making subject access application to see what information about me being held and will take it from there. I will update it here as soon as I get some more info.

Thanks for the information though.

@D4109125 you aren't helping. I appreciate the information but you need to listen to it loud and clear that I AM NOT A CRIMINAL because the way you are writing or responding makes me look like one!!!!

It was silly of me to contest it but I am still till this moment am confident it wasn't my mistake but what rather taken as fault. One thing I don't understand though. I applied for ILR this march and as in all honesty I did not think of this as a conviction, I didn't write it and I received ILR wit...

So you are suggesting that I shouldn't apply until August 2014?!! and you are implying that in last 12 years that I have been driving this one thing means I have bad character despite I have been awarded certificate from met police of supporting them for cases and all.??

really!! ?

Hello Learned ones I wonder if someone could help me please : ) I am intended to apply for BC and today tried making an appointment with local NCS but they refused because I have 3 points and fixed penalty of £75 on my license. What happened was I was stopped holding mobile phone was driving despite...

Hi,

glad to see some progress. Mate don't just stop sending out a complaint. Do send it recorded, give them 20 days including weekends, if no response chase it. Include copies of previous and write them again, give them 3 weeks and write them again. Nag them unless they listen. If I were you, I would co...

I only partially blame UKBA. Has anyone made an official complaint? I am submitting a FOI request to see how many complaints UKBA received in last 365 days. The only way you can see changes if each individual submits a complaint if his or her case takes more than 4 weeks. Why do we expect minimum st...

No, she is Lithuanian. Although she has been living in UK for a while now about 8-9 years, works n all. I was granted Spouse visa for 2 years which UKBA usually does for British nationals as they didn't treat my application as spouse to european national. hence, did not grant 5 years european but 2 ...
