You also need to keep an eye on how many days you've been out of the country.

Yes, it's an identity check and based off the information on the application forms. So, it raises alarms when she doesn't know where she's lived previously or her home telephone number. Obviously the passport agent gave her the benefit of the doubt by suggesting a second interview with an interprete...

Yes, but aren't those largely things you would have put on your application?

Thank you. It is not South Korea. Q: Why UK asylum over US spouse immigrant visa? A: Because, although the US visa is possible, it is not guaranteed. Also, UK was the first safe country to which they travelled from the home country. Q: .. how the person was able to leave country X in the first plac...

First, you will not get humanitarian protection. The fact you don't like where you're living doesn't qualify you. You are not being persecuted nor are you under threat of violence or death. Your are not exposed to torture, or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Whilst I appreciate your sit...

I would just give as much information as you can on the date you entered and explain on page 15 that you entered on XX date on a ferry from Dublin to [port] but there was no immigration official so no stamp in the passport. Also, your student visa will be in your passport and valid from a certain da...

How do you pay your income tax? Do you do a self-assessment or is it deducted at source through PAYE?

Vinny's thread is a good read, and there are some very good tips on what to do to gather the evidence. You can submit a SAR (Subject Access Request) to UKBA and they will provide the information/documents that they hold on you. I would recommend doing this. They hold a lot more information on people...

See page 36-37: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/modernised/cross-cut/knowledge-of-life/kol.pdf?view=Binary The wording is confusing. They require a valid passport. An expired passport isn't valid - you cannot travel on it. However, the exceptions to provide alter...

1.) You provide your UK degree certificate. You do not need to send it to UK NARIC. 2.) For your wife: She can see if the PBS Calculator would award her degree 10 pts and if it does, print off the screen shot of this.

Hi Guys, I am going to apply for naturalisation as BC, i have not done any English test e.g B1 etc, thou i did life in uk test, When i got HSMP 6 years ago i had given letter from my UNI that degree taught in English, and that was accepted, i have not been given anything from UK Naric, and i have b...

thank you guys for the reply. Any idea of the processing time ? As Ayyubi72 said, there is a thread on naturalisation timelines. An application by someone who has/had refugee status is treated the same way as other applications. You'll see that when you review the thread as people provide the basis...

You would need to submit your US passport to demonstrate that you're a national of an English speaking country.

Thanks, Amber! prasadduddi, your query has already been answered on another thread. http://www.immigrationboards.com/british-citizenship/english-requirement-for-naturalisation-t158026.html#p993042 BE HAPPY (I love the name): 1.) You do not need a letter from NARIC for degree comparability if you hav...

I included mine too.

You can print on Page 15. It's not required to be handwritten.

If it's translated and has been previously accepted by UKBA, I do not see this to be an issue.

Hi there, i came to uk in 1971 with my british mother to settle, had ILR in previous passport which was lost a few years back, have new usa pasport but applied for stamp and big fat NO twice so now one sop warning, sign on at police station, may be detained etc, have now realised that i can apply f...

I am also confused with conflicting information from UKBA. In the Form AN and Guide AN, they haven't mentioned anything about PBS Calculator but in the link below it is mentioned that if the qualification is recongnized in PBC it is enough to show it as proof. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/brit...

I assume your son was not living with you in the UK when you applied for ILR and Settlement and he wasn't joined in either application. He's not automatically entitled to a British passport because you are a British citizen. As Jambo said, he would need to live in the UK and meet certain requirement...

Is your father also resident in the UK or was he resident in the UK for 5 continuous years from 2004? Was he exercising his treaty rights during that time?

My friend is a PhD student at a UK university and is sponsored by a UK charity. She enrolled in Sept 2012 and was making good progress. However, in August 2013, her mother was diagnosed with a terminal condition and the doctors estimated she would not survive 12 months. My friend discussed this with...

It really depends upon the volume and the office. I originally wanted to use the NCS closest to my work but as it was a month from the 28 Oct rule change, they were experiencing very high demand (even in September) for the service. I then went to the NCS close to home and they had heaps of availabil...

That's strange. I would call the Home Office again and explain the situation as you set out above. If the money has left your account and appears cleared then it should be cleared and reconciled on their side especially if it's 10 days after it cleared and left your account. It sounds like an error ...
