I hope Brexit will damage her and her partys chance of wining the next election. Like Margaret Thatcher, she may be polarising, but like her, she is also a case of TINA (There Is No Alternative). Neither Corbyn nor Farron nor Farage inspire any confidence. By definition (in the title of her party's...
It's strange that the new visa regulations are not announced yet. This might well mean that fees wouldn't rise in April (since there is some notice period isn't? ) Perhaps the government is waiting for Article 50 to be triggered and would then lump the ILR and Residence Card for EU together as one ...
Remember that it is EU law ( Directive 2004/38/EC ) that grants you PR, not the Home Office. It is the conditions in the law that must be met for you to acquire PR. The Home Office has no discretion in EU law. That law does not distinguish between types of absences. It does allow you a single one-ye...
The government imposes very heavy penalties (of upto £20,000 per illegal worker, I believe) on companies who employ illegal workers. However, the company is protected if they can show a "statutory excuse" (really badly worded, I know) on their records; i.e. that they checked the person's right to wo...
Note that the government has also said that immigration and customs will be covered by legislation outside the Great Repeal Bill and hence it is likely that the White Paper on the Great Repeal Bill will not contain much on immigration. Both Barnier and the British side have stated that resolving the...
Fascinating question. For those who may be perplexed by the question, Permanent Residence in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir is similar to Belonger status in a specific British Overseas Territory. One needs to have both Belonger status and BOTC in order to exercise certain rights, such as the ...
For any gaps in my employment, is the fact that my 2 children British taken into consideration? Entirely irrelevant. For getting PR, EU law (not UK law), requires five continuous years of exercising treaty rights by either you or by a non-UK EEA citizen direct family member (such as spouse). Your c...
15 years! That is a long time and am sure he will be. The forum does need it's in-house devil's advocate. I had no idea the post was already filled. Then again, these forums could accommodate a bench of devils advocates. Otherwise, there is a risk of many people becoming like Trump's voters, mistak...
Provided your spouse is a) a non-UK EEA member b) exercising treaty rights in the UK c) living in the UK (not necessarily in the same house or even the same city as you); you have a right to reside in the UK. It is recommended that you get a Residence Card. You will need proof of your EEA citizen sp...
In late May applications will start for indefinite leave to remain for partners and spouses of British citizens affected by the changes to the regulations in June 2012. So far it appears no form is available. From June we will see the ILR 5 year routes due to changes in July 2012. I presume the OP ...
I'm helping my mother-in-law establish she is a UK citizen by descent so that her daughters (one with ILR in the UK, and one not living in the UK but wants to do so) can become UK Citizens otherwise than by descent. It's the other way round. Your M-i-L is a British citizen otherwise than by descent...
Which court did you file a case in? What kind of case was it (appeal, human rights, etc)? Was it an oral hearing or was it on papers? Did you go through a solicitor or on your own? Help us out with some detail so that we can guide you further.
Do I lose my uk resident permit if I stay for long time in Spain ? Your UK Residence Permit loses validity if either you stay out of the UK for more than six months in a year OR your Spanish wife stops exercising treaty rights in the UK. do I need to apply for residence permit in Spain as well or n...
Brexit day is going to be March 29th , the Wednesday after the 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome. The FT thinks A sensible Brexit deal is more probable than you think . The Institute for Government has highlighted the scale of legislative work ahead , with estimating between seven and fifteen b...
It is good that you have PACS, it is the french equivalent of registered partnership, therefore you should fall under primary beneficiary of Directive 2004/38. Stepping outside the bounds of immigration law for a quick moment. A PACS is very specifically, from what I found on the Internet, not the ...
No need to apologise. It helps if you link to what you are talking about so that we are on the same page. The UK, Ireland and Denmark have opted out of a whole swathe of EU legislation as regards justice and home affairs. So a lot of EU-wide legislation for non-EEA migrants, such as Blue Cards, is n...
I came for more specific interests, and I'll stay within the welcoming area I've found, with very careful adventures outside of it Your insight on the practicalities of the Family Permit and EFM visa have been extraordinarily helpful -- really. The insight you've provided is absolutely not availabl...
I think you are massively overthinking the situation. Let's take a deep breath and reflect. There is no requirement for a lavish wedding ceremony as far as the HO are concerned. My husband and I had a simple Registry Office wedding with 5 guests and a celebration at home with no detriment to the iss...
Also see threads on status of ILR after renunciation of British citizenship here and here . If you are in no hurry to return, start the application for a British passport now and you should get it in about a year's time. You must surrender your Indian passport within three years of your British citi...
Actually, I believe that using Nelson Mandela as an example is a poor choice. If you read the court transcripts, you will find that he and the others found guilty at the Rivonia trials were planning a bombing of innocent men, women and children. This plot was at a very advanced stage. I think it wo...
OK, first understand that PR and naturalisation had completely different requirements. The only thing that they have in common is that you must have PR and must have held it for at least one year before applying for naturalisation. Otherwise, the absence (and other) requirements are different. For P...
It's not inhumane. They want to make sure that you are really in a stable relationship and not in one for the sake of getting an immigration advantage. That is also why you should not get married to close to the deadline, but a while before. Essentially, it is not a boyfriend/girlfriend visa, but on...
1- So if i make my passport which is also possible since i have Pakistani National ID card then do you think i can apply to get the registration of marriage in the council. do you think this would be a possibility ? I could be wrong, but from what I remember reading on these forums, some embassies ...
