Citizenship by double descent is extremely rare and is, to the best of my knowledge, only possible under very limited circumstances related to the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland (modern day Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi). And that is only because of an error in the drafting of laws governing tha...

You say your passport shows you as "British" - you mean "British otherwise than by decent" ? If so I believe your child is British by decent and entitled to a passport. If it says "British by decent" then your child won't be British. British passports for British citizens only state their status as...

British passport applications for British citizen children born on the Subcontinent are known to take between six months and a year.

So I wouldn't be too surprised with an MN1 application taking as long at least.

I have right to know why they delay my application Don't think there is any such right. Keep in mind that all applicants for naturalization must already have ILR. That gives them most of the same rights in the UK as British Citizens, especially if they are also Commonwealth citizens. A delay in nat...

How old are the children? Some advice us to apply for ILR for the children, while some advice us to apply child dependent visa. Are they the same route？ If not, which route should I choose? The children can't apply for ILR directly and you should apply for child dependent visas for them. However, as...

ILR is a requirement for naturalisation, even for spouses of British citizens. Since ILR requires a minimum of five years on the spousal route, that means that your spouse can only apply for naturalisation after getting ILR after five years. She would be able to apply for naturalisation immediately ...

The only way you will know if that approach will work is if you try it. But, keep in mind the following (a) According to Home Office stats, ~6% applications are successful on first attempt, with a further 6% after expensive appeals. In the past few years, the number of ADR visas issued has been in s...

Now my child is 11 years and I am divorced in India. I took my child responsibility.

Have you been given sole custody by the court?

You can use income from working two jobs.

I think the crucial question is, can you combine income from two zero-hour, variable income jobs under Category A?

Sorry to go back to the original topic of this thread, do we know why it takes up to 16 weeks for applications from abroad whilst 2-3 days for in UK? Not impossible that the fact that the first passport is being applied from abroad may trigger additional scrutiny of both the application and of refe...

My son mum is in Ghana and abandoned my son at the age of 2.

Did you demonstrate sole responsibility for the child at the time of the ILE application?

I checked into the below website and it isn't very clear because it says "You might also need to pay the healthcare surcharge". Is it "might" or we "should"? https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa Do note that I'm a British Citizen and my wife is Indian citizen, I'm applying for my wife's visa to come a...

Dates may be very relevant here. valid till Dec 2015. Applied FLR 5 year spouse, rejected - old form used, rejected IHS fee not paid again and not in time. When was the form for this extension submitted? Was it ruled invalid? If so, that means that that application was never made. And that means tha...

Where is the other parent?

Please answer this question. Also,what is their UK immigration status?

The status of children born abroad is generally in line with that of the second/less-privileged parent, regardless of gender.

Have I jumped the gun here? I understand how my father would have been eligible for ROA based on section 2 (1) (b) (i) but secret.simon quotes section section 2 (1) as suppoort for me to be eliglble but that section states: " a person is under this Act to have the right of abode in the UK if: (d) h...

You can apply for enhanced DBS check or SAR from the ACRO, this is the Police computer records which will show you everything on it too, link https://www.acro.police.uk/s/acro-servi ... ect-access

Would that include the length of the sentence, as opposed to the length of time served?

I will start by congratulating you on having done some historic research. To start with, it needs to be understood that there are three different statuses at three different times, not all of which correspond on-to-one with each other. Before 1948, all people born in any of His Majesty's Dominions (...

Two weeks later, we received a confirmation that my application was accepted. However, there was an error in the confirmation letter as it showed a ten-year route under FP, even though we had applied for the marriage route. Although I should have refuted the decision, at the time we were very young...

To the best of my knowledge, judicial review does not apply to naturalisation cases.

You were convicted on 31 March 2009 at .... Crown Court. ... Problem is I have been convicted at that date exactly but for 6 months. And was held in prison at the end of sentences till 10 October 2009. The crucial question is how long was the sentence passed down by the court, not how long you serv...

Where abroad was the child born? Different countries can attract different levels of scrutiny.

my wife can't work lcwra 10. Limited capability for work and work related activity If it is decided you have limited capability for work and work related activity (LCWRA) you are not expected to look for work or to prepare for work, but you can work or volunteer if you feel able to do so. I agree w...

To probe your thought process on the point above, Frontier Mole , would it be in order for the OP or somebody in a similar position to make an FLR application in the appropriate stream and then vary it to an ILR/SET application the day they become eligible for it? The risk with such an approach pres...

I assume that working in this area, you are probably regularly encountering families wanting to settle in the UK through the variety of official routes. It seemed to me that your response reflects familiarity with that typical aspiration. Thank you for the compliment. You flatter me. Most of it com...
