I am not sure whether you can apply without providing her Birth Cert or Passport. No idea if they will be satisfied with copy of these docs already on their file. Perhaps some other members can tell if its not possible or not. If it is not possible, then you will be able to apply in your own right a...
I am not quite sure if right of abode can be applied if parents are not British citizens yet. I believe right of abobe is for only persons who are British by birth?? Some non-British citizens can have right of above, but we are not concerned about that. Every British Citizen has right of abode, doe...

It varies from council to council. When I got approval, it was clearly mentioned in approval letter " you must not contact you council, they will contact you". And they did in a week or so. My friend lives in a different county and when he got approved he was asked to contact his council and book ce...
LIUK must have been very futuristic back in 1654 considering the UK was not born until another 53 years later. The test was then called "Life in the England Test". After the union, they started LiUK test. Then they passed "Recognition of Life in the England Test as LiUK Test and backdating it to th...
You never mentioned the date of endorsments on your passport. I wonder what made you not share this info. :? Now it is clear that you meet the residence requirements as per the quidance. Slap an application to HO. Make sure you meet Koll requirements. You should get ILR without problems. You should ...
I might be wrong, but I am pretty sure that if one of the parent acquires foreign citizenship, then child also loses their citizenship. Even if I am wrong, I think you will be taking a big risk. A personal experience may not be of much help to you, as another immigration officer might take a differe...
Expired IELTS is acceptable for settlement and naturalisation applications. Other expired B1 level certificates are acceptable for settlement and naturalisation applications.

"Also note that if your aplication is approved, beow is how your names and date & place of birth will appear on your certificate." Do you reckon this is a positive sign or there requesting for my old expired passport showing visas given me going back 4 years, means they are not convinced of somethi...
I withdrawn my application and as soon as I got my application back I went back home to switch my visa. I left the UK on 24 March 2004. I was advised that Although the date of this Exemption expired on 3rd Jan 2008 , this type of permit allows a 90 day extended period of leave for the person to pre...
1. I showed one utility bill when I renewed at cgi Birmingham. But carry two bills in case they ask. Won't cost you anything if they only ask for one. You submit photocopies with application, and just show the originals. You should have all the copies before you get to the counter. 2. Passport appli...
Sending letters to ukba does not grant or extend your leave. You were an overstayer after you were refused. You remained an overstayer until you were granted leave in 2011.
As you will know, most of the solicitors would have never dealth with something like this before. Like I said, the common sense dictates, that if someone who leaves on deemed leave, and then returns is acceptable, they why not someone who is exempt should be acceptable? Because it was their status a...
Yes, PBS is for tier visas. But in your case, you are not using it for tier visa. You are just using it to check if the degree is accepted and gives 10 points if you were applying as a PBS migrant. If it gives you 10 points (imagining you are a pbs migrant), then the degree is good enough to meet en...

You are the first one who has somehow come to the conclusion that it is not acceptable. Some immigrants should get knighthood for doing unnecessary research, an...
